Surge: Tamil Nadu’s Growth Story By Sushila Ravindranath

UNMASKING INDIA'S BEST-KEPT INDUSTRIAL SECRET.

For decades, the business narrative of India was dominated by the powerhouses of the North and West, while the industrial might of Tamil Nadu remained quietly under the radar. How did a region once dismissed as a "pensioner’s paradise" evolve into a manufacturing and industrial titan that now hosts more industries than almost any other hub in the country?

In Surge, veteran business journalist Sushila Ravindranath unravels this compelling story. Moving past common misconceptions, she provides an incisive account of how Tamil Nadu transformed into an industrial powerhouse through a unique blend of old-economy grit and new-economy innovation.
