James Crabtree is interested in money.
But he’s not just interested in what you can do with it. He’s also curious about what it does to people.
Billionaire Raj, the much-buzzed about book from Crabtree — a former Financial Times Mumbai bureau chief and now professor at the influential Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore — tells the riveting story of India’s super-rich, not as a bland account of facts and figures but as a high-octane journey through the lives of reclusive billionaires and tycoons, a story made more compelling by Crabtree’s years as an acute observer in their midst.
And in Raiders of the Ark, we spoke to the uber-articulate Crabtree on the rollercoaster ride of India’s billionaire class, the extremes that lie beneath it, and what India needs to do to move from crony capitalism to a more progressive era.

Algebra, the Arts & Ideas Club brings together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking.
At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is a live and continuous space for people to come together for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.
Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host almost 35 engagements over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al.
