Book Summary:
India Uninc. by Prof. R. Vaidyanathan is a thought-provoking exploration of India’s vast, largely overlooked non-corporate sector that plays a critical role in the nation’s economy. The book challenges the corporate-centric view of economic growth by highlighting how small businesses, family enterprises, self-employed individuals, and informal sector workers together form the backbone of India’s development. Drawing on data, case studies, and historical context, Vaidyanathan emphasizes that this sector contributes significantly to employment, savings, and GDP, yet remains underappreciated in policy-making. He argues for greater recognition, support, and integration of India’s non-corporate economy into national planning, suggesting that real inclusive growth lies in empowering this segment. The book blends economics, sociology, and cultural insights, making it both an informative and eye-opening read on the realities of Indian enterprise.
