Book Summary

A.D. Shroff: Titan of Finance and Free Enterprise is a biography penned by Sucheta Dalal, a distinguished Indian financial journalist. Published in 2000, the book delves into the life and contributions of Ardeshir Darabshaw Shroff (1899–1965), a prominent industrialist, banker, and economist who played a pivotal role in shaping India's financial landscape post-independence.

In this biography, Dalal chronicles Shroff's multifaceted career, highlighting his significant influence in India's banking and economic sectors. Shroff was instrumental in establishing the Investment Corporation of India and held leadership positions in institutions like the Bank of India and New India Assurance Company. He was a co-author of the Bombay Plan, a set of proposals aimed at India's economic development, and actively participated in the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, contributing to the global financial system's reconstruction.

A staunch advocate for free enterprise, Shroff co-founded the Forum of Free Enterprise in 1956 to promote liberal economic policies and counter the prevailing socialist tendencies in India's governance. His efforts laid the groundwork for future economic reforms and inspired subsequent generations of economists and policymakers.
