Why, despite two decades of liberalisation, does attaining the goal of economic prosperity together with social inclusion still remain distant? Economic growth has led to a dramatic improvement in the quality of life for many. Yet millions have been left behind. Bringing together titans of industry with leaders of civil society, Uncommon Ground explores common concerns that are highly relevant for the development of our democracy. Based on Nilekani’s 2008 show on NDTV, these conversations explore the middle ground between the ideological divisions that often polarise the business and civic-minded sectors.
