A close look at two of the world’s most resilient and upcoming economies to understand their growth and development trajectories

This book brings together scholars and academicians from China as well as India to present a well-rounded perspective on various important cross-country issues and their implications. Comprehensive in approach, it encompasses history, culture, political relations and current business strategies of both the nations.
