SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT & MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2018
A Financial Times Book of the Year and an Amazon Top 100 Book of the Year, The Billionaire Raj delves into India's explosive rise, which has led to unprecedented inequality. Millions of people are trapped in slums, while billionaires lavishly spend and evade taxes. Controversial Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to break the grip of the Bollygarchs, but many tycoons continue to thrive amidst scandals, exerting significant influence over business and politics.
But who are these titans of politics and industry shaping India through this period of breakneck change? And what kind of superpower are they creating? A vivid portrait of a deeply divided nation, The Billionaire Raj makes clear that India's destiny - whether it becomes a prosperous democratic giant or a corrupt authoritarian regime - is something that should concern us all.

He also examines the impact of globalization on India's economy and the challenges that the country faces in maintaining its position as a global power.
Through a series of compelling anecdotes and interviews, Swarup brings to life the stories of the billionaire Raj, highlighting their achievements, controversies, and the challenges they face in navigating the complex web of Indian politics. The book also offers a critical analysis of the policies and institutions that have contributed to the rise of the billionaire class, and proposes solutions for addressing the growing inequality in India.
