' Navigating India is a very interesting and real life experience novel. I would suggest it as a must read for anyone who wants to do business here. Many anecdotes and stories of how business has actually unfolded. One must also remember that India is changing and the huge change in business environment over the last two years must be appreciated and understood. It is not the same as doing business in many of the other developing economies because the market is far larger, far more complex and far more developed than most. '

' This book is not the run-of-mill stuff self-help book on India. Entrepreneurs, and anyone who wishes to engage with India: do yourself a favour and pick up this one. '

' Even though the word “navigating” is associated with the covering of marine distance, Bharat Joshi’s use of this for a land mass the size of Europe, suggests the difficulty of the quicksand that India has been for novices. But for the seasoned optimist-entrepreneur, India also lets itself be navigated—as it did for the East India Company!
This is a very different read on India. The text races ahead as it hopes that the country also will! Such optimism keeps the reader afloat—navigating even on rocky and steep terrain. Joshi is much younger and he can see the 800 million Indian youth soaring and flying sooner than some of the pessimist economists.'
