TheGame Changers explores this change, and the people who have wrought it. Asma Khan, a former journalist who found a place on Netflix’s Chef ’s Table; Karan Johar, the man who made romance fashionable despite a terrible lack of it, while struggling with his sexuality; Arnab Goswami, who the millennials think ‘invented’ TV news; Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw who first learnt how to brew beer and then set up a global biotech conglomerate; Gaggan Anand whose ‘Progressive Cuisine’ is what food fantasies are made of; Shashi Tharoor whose best-selling books make big ideas accessible to the general reader. These men and women, among them Nandan Nilekani, Sameer Sain and Vijay Shekhar Sharma, are the architects of a new order. A nuanced understanding of their lives is one way to understand the India of this age—and no one reads the signs better than Vir Sanghvi
