Sky High - The IndiGo Story

Tarun Shukla, Ranjit Madgavkar

In 2006, IndiGo was one of the late entrants into the low-cost airline business in India. The market already had many strong players by then-several of them new-including Captain Gopinath's Air Deccan, Ajay Singh's SpiceJet, Vijay Mallya's Kingfisher Airlines and Wadia Group's GoAir. In the next seventeen years, while some struggled and others were grounded, IndiGo became not only the largest airline in the country, but also the most valuable in the history of Indian aviation. No other Indian airline has come close to matching these numbers since Indian aviation took off in 1932 with J.R.D. Tata's Air India. 
What does IndiGo do differently-and right? What makes it prosper in a troubled and often loss-riddled industry? Why has IndiGo continued to grow despite the rift in the nearly twenty- five-year-long friendship of its promoters Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal? What is the road ahead for IndiGo as it defends its supremacy in Indian aviation from Tata and Singapore Airlines-backed Air India? 
In Sky High, award-winning journalist Tarun Shukla presents a detailed account of how one dream, two media-shy friends and some great execution created an aviation behemoth. Based on years of research, extensive interviews and authoritative data, this is a fascinating story of patience, planning and persistence.

Japan Discovered - A Guide to...

Annie Atlas

Most books about Japan will tell you what to see. This one tells you what you're actually looking at.
 

 
Japan runs on a set of invisible rules — social, philosophical, historical — that most visitors never learn exist. The silence in a boardroom means something has gone wrong. The vending machine on a mountain trail makes perfect sense once you understand the culture. The word for a feeling you've had your whole life but never had a name for. Japan Discovered is the guide that explains it all.
 

 
The ancient belief that household tools develop a soul after a hundred years of use still quietly shapes how objects are treated in modern Japanese homes. Millions of Japanese families eat fried chicken every Christmas Eve — a tradition that says more about how Japan absorbs outside influences and makes them entirely its own than any guidebook chapter on "Japanese culture" ever could.
 

 
The book covers the philosophy of wabi-sabi and what it reveals about the Japanese relationship with imperfection and time. It covers tatemae and honne — the gap between public face and private truth that shapes every professional and personal interaction in the country. It covers the shokunin tradition of craft mastery and what it genuinely feels like to navigate a society never designed with outsiders in mind.
 

 
Inside, you will also find:

Essential Japanese phrases with full pronunciation guides
Cultural concepts — wabi-sabi, amae, gaman, omotenashi — explained in plain English
A curated reading, film, and music list for going deeper
A practical packing and etiquette guide for first-time visitors

 

 
For the reader who wants to understand a place, not just pass through it.

The Garden Against Time - In...

Olivia Laing

Named one of the most anticipated books of 2024 by the BBC, the Observer, Irish Times, the Guardian, and The Millions. 
 
 
 
In 2020, Olivia Laing began to restore an eighteenth century walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants. The work brought to light a crucial question for our age: Who gets to live in paradise, and how can we share it while there's still time? Moving between real and imagined gardens, from Milton's Paradise Lost to John Clare's enclosure elegies, from a wartime sanctuary in Italy to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth. 
 
 
 
But the story of the garden doesn't always enact larger patterns of privilege and exclusion. It's also a place of rebel outposts and communal dreams. From the improbable queer utopia conjured by Derek Jarman on the beach at Dungeness to the fertile vision of a common Eden propagated by William Morris, new modes of living can and have been attempted amidst the flower beds, experiments that could prove vital in the coming era of climate change. The result is a humming, glowing tapestry, a beautiful and exacting account of the abundant pleasures and possibilities of gardens: not as a place to hide from the world but as a site of encounter and discovery, bee-loud and pollen-laden.
