There is an angst to change the world. Working with the government offers a large canvas to create impact. How do you get in? What can you do to create change? How will you succeed? This book will give insights into the System as it stands today and offers the readers possible pathways to get started with their journeys to bring in transformation. The perspectives first as an outsider combined with my recent experience as an insider makes this book a compelling and informative read. The book is a reflection on my three years in the Government of India as an Officer on Special Duty with a Minister of State. Such a position offers a fascinating insight into the world of policy making and politics from very close quarters. This stint allowed me to develop my understanding of India and its socio-political economy that I had covered in my first book, The Making of India. The book starts with anecdotes on the life and times of policy makers and politicians. It moves on to an exploration of why government initiatives, projects and policies work or spectacularly fail. I detail a model of development on the basis of which progress can/should be measured. I introduce the concept of Government, Business and Society as three inter-dependent pillars in our daily lives. There are many agents of social and political change – the book explores the pulls and pressures of the politician and the bureaucrat (or any civil servant) in detail to understand why they are what they are and how they can be made more effective. Finally, the book deep-dives into the role that we as citizens can play in shaping the development of our country contextualized with a small reference to my personal journey. The approach of the book is analytical peppered with anecdotes, stories, life examples. The cross-pollination of private and public sector professionals is rare, though increasing, in India. There are no books which describe these transitions to the layman or to those who may be interested in making such changes. The private and public worlds are dramatically different: in their outlook, incentive design, motivations, objectives, and also the means to achieving the ends. The transitions require a deep understanding of both sides so as to be effective. Roles in the public sector offer a massive ability to create impact though the process can be very different compared to the private sector. Knowing the cast of characters and understanding their context is important if the change agenda has to be implemented. This book seeks to contribute this knowledge/insight that is missing/unavailable to a large number of people who are keen to make a difference. With the lateral entry path into civil services opening up, this book can offer an inside view of those who aspire to come in to make the change.
