In a time when global trade borders are opening, the reputable Metkem Silicon and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, collaborate to produce silicon metal locally. But Anand Seshadri, the powerful head of the Department of Electronics pushes to import the technology from the US. The ‘silicon metal controversy’ erupts, and the prime minister must decide: Support Indian innovation? Or concede to foreign imports? When Seshadri takes drastic, underhanded measures to discredit Metkem Silicon, the task of countering him falls to Metkem’s lobbyist—a young, adroit lobbyist named Adityan ‘Solly’ Nilla. Things get interesting when Solly receives an unexpected call from the embassy of the Soviet Union. And then the French and the Americans, and the Indian intelligence get involved. Set in the New Delhi of the 1980s, this tale of espionage, intrigue, deception and sexual escapade is pacy, funny . . . and sometimes touching.
