Chandru Rajendran, founder of the sourcing and manufacturing company Procurio, was surprised to receive an email from the Ministry of Finance saying India's chief economic adviser wanted to speak with him personally. Rajendran said he initially thought the mail was spam and let it sit for fifteen minutes before opening it.
The email carried a landline number, and Rajendran called it to ask if this was some kind of conference he was being invited to attend. He was told instead that the chief economic adviser wanted a direct, personal conversation to hear his story, and was asked to travel to Delhi for the meeting.
