Subhash Chandra, the promoter of Essel/ Zee Group, is an unlikely mogul. Hailing from a small town in Haryana, where his family ran grain mills, Chandra has been a perennial outsider. Starting work as a teen to pay off family debts, he'd had to rely on bluff, gumption and sheer hard toil to turn things around. A little bit of luck and political patronage saw him make a fortune in rice exports to the erstwhile USSR.Always a risk-taker, Chandra then had the vision of getting into broadcasting early, even as established media players failed to see its potential. His Zee TV, India's first private Indian TV channel, changed the rules of the game. The Z Factor is a candid memoir of a truly desi self-made businessman who continues to reinvent himself - he is now a Rajya Sabha MP as well as a major player in the field of infrastructure.
The Government of India spends about 15% of India’s GDP, which translated into a whopping expenditure budget of Rs. 48.2 trillion for 2024-25, including Rs. 11.11 trillion on capital expenditures, another 11.6 trillion on interest payments, more than Rs. 4.2 trillion on subsidies like food and fertilisers, over Rs. 5 trillion on centrally sponsored programmes in the states and many other expenditures. The budget expenditures impact everyone, individuals, households, workers, businesses and everything we care about–growth, inflation, welfare and governance of the country. This book explains everything relating to the expenditures programmes of the government. The government’s tax proposals generate all-round interest. Companies worry about tax on their goods, profits, equities and bonds. Households and individuals look at the budget speech proposals how their salaries, savings and capital gains are going to be affected. The wider investment community wants to figure out the government's disinvestment, privatisation, dividends and other non-tax receipts. All the tax, non-tax, disinvestment and privatisation proposals and performance of the government have been thoroughly analysed and commented upon in the book. The economists, media, banks, foreign portfolio investors, investment managers, brokerages and everyone else with a direct or indirect stake in India’s economy, savings, credit, financial markets and any other macroeconomic aspect watch very carefully, in addition to expenditure and tax proposals, the proposals of the budgets impacting macroeconomy. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the macro-economic performance of the Indian economy and the implications of budget proposals. The book is organised in four parts and 40 chapters. The first part has all the big budget numbers with highlights, the second part brings out the results and outcomes of Budget 2022-23, the third part takes a serious look at the implementation of Budget 2023-24 and the fourth part critically analyses the implications of the proposals in Budget 2024-25 presented on 23 July. All the three budgets have also been rated on a sound framework taking into account 2022-23 actuals, 2023-24 revised estimates and 2024-25 budget estimates.
Memoir of one of India's most prominent businessmen The pioneer who gate-crashed his way to the top Subhash Chandra, the promoter of Essel/ Zee Group, is an unlikely mogul. Hailing from a small town in Haryana, where his family ran grain mills, Chandra has been a perennial outsider, repeatedly aiming high and breaking into businesses where he was considered an interloper. Starting work as a teen to pay off family debts, Chandra had to rely on bluff, gumption and sheer hard toil to turn things around. A little bit of luck and political patronage saw him make a fortune in rice exports to the erstwhile USSR. Always a risk-taker, Chandra then had the vision of getting into broadcasting early, even as established media players failed to see its potential. His Zee TV, India's first private Indian TV channel, changed the rules of the game and tickled the fancy of a public starved of entertainment. Several gutsy initiatives followed, though not all of them were successful. Chandra's attempts to launch satellite telephony and a cricket league came a cropper. But the man continues to reinvent himself; he is now also focusing on infrastructure and smart cities. This is an unusually candid memoir of a truly desi self-made businessman who came to Delhi at age twenty with seventeen rupees in his pocket. Today, he has a net worth of $6.3 billion and annual group revenues of about $3 billion.

Economic policy has a direct impact on how people live, eat, work and spend. It governs every aspect of life, and finance secretaries are central to how economic policy is made and implemented. In this book, Subhash Chandra Garg, former economic affairs secretary and finance secretary, tells the inside story of how economic policy is made, and unmade, at the highest levels in the Government of India. We Also Make Policy is a fly-on-the-wall account of proceedings within the finance ministry. The book talks candidly about controversial decisions from the first tenure of the NDA government, such as the politics of 'minimum support price' to farmers, electoral bonds, recapitalizing of banks, monetizing national assets and the controversial resignation of RBI Governor Urjit Patel, among others. As the author of three Union Budgets, Garg also talks about what it takes to put the Budget together: the pressures, the processes, the calculations and, above all, the politics.
