Window into India's Infra Picture

STEP outside and look around — you probably see roads, buildings, power lines, and the metro, all seamlessly woven into daily life.

But take a moment, and you'll realise that everything functions because of the infrastructure that supports it. Pratap Padode's new book, Tarmac to Towers: The India Infrastructure Story, explores this in an insightful and informative manner. A CA by training, he co-founded Dalal Street Journal, India's best-selling equity magazine, and shifted from market analysis to championing infrastructure. Now, as the force behind the FIRST Construction Council, he drives innovation in construction and urban development.
