Author, India

Anirudh Suri is intrigued by how technology is shaping our world, society and values. His book, The Great Tech Game, provides a big picture view on this vital question of our times. His work at McKinsey & Company, Goldman Sachs and the Government of India has helped him view technology’s potential from different vantage points. He continues to explore India’s place in this new world order through his work as a technology venture capitalist and a non-resident Scholar at Carnegie India. He is an alumnus of the Harvard Kennedy School, the Wharton School and Haverford College.
