  1. Anant Maitrey –

    Eye-opening! Made me rethink the ‘glory’ of globalization. A must-read for anyone interested in economics.

  2. Suchanda Samadder –

    A little slow-paced, but the content is important. Worth sticking with it if you’re interested in Indian labor issues.

  3. Sumedh Yeshwant Bhandare –

    Important research, but the writing style could be more engaging. Found it informative and helpful.

  4. Awdhesh Gairola –

    The book is good. Although it took time to read this book completely. But the information is very useful.

  5. Chirag –

    An excellent resource for understanding the changing nature of work. Some may find it dense but I liked it.

  6. Rishi Prasad Agrahari –

    A valuable contribution to the discussion on labor in India. However, the language is sometimes too technical. Need simple language.

  7. Ayush Narang –

    A well-researched book, but it lacks a compelling narrative. The data speaks for itself, though. Average work.

  8. Sailesh Pugalia –

    An interesting and informative read, but it could have been better organized. The survey data is compelling. Enjoyed a lot.

  9. Devanshu Chauhan –

    Provides a comprehensive overview of precarious work in India. A bit too focused on Mumbai though.

    This book opened my eyes to the reality of insecure work. I recommend it. Good book in general. Great effort.

  11. Uday Kumar –

    A thought-provoking analysis of the Indian workforce. I feel like its missing something. Okay, one time read.

  12. Rayan Sarkar –

    Important insights into precarious work in India. Needs more real-life stories to balance the academic tone. Liked it though.

    Provides a much-needed analysis of job insecurity in India. Could be more accessible to a general audience. I enjoyed reading.

    I liked the book a lot. It is very informative and written very well. I would recommend it to others.

  15. Mohd Fahad Khan –

    The book is little hard to understand in some places. But provides a unique perspective on job insecurity.

  16. Piyush Upadhyay –

    Informative but somewhat repetitive. Could have been shorter and more concise. Good info though.

  17. Adarsh Sirmour –

    An eye-opening account of the challenges faced by Indian workers in the metro. Highly recommend for all.

  18. Tejaswi Satya Sai Raj Mosa –

    This book is a must-read for policymakers and anyone interested in labor economics. Felt little slow.

    A bit dry and academic, but the information is valuable. Not everyone’s cup of tea, i guess. Worth reading.

  23. Ankit Rawat –

    A solid read on the changing Indian workforce, but felt a bit academic at times. Worth it for the data alone. Showed new perspective.

  24. Punit Kumar Yadav –

    Important research, though a bit dry. Sheds light on a crucial issue. More engaging writing would have helped.

  25. Shashank Bhaskar –

    A deep dive into the topic, but I found myself getting lost in the details. Useful data if you’re in the field. Book need some edit.
