MIAMI –July 18, 2008 – William Nobrega, president with The Conrad Group, today announced his newly released book, Riding the Indian Tiger: Understanding India the World’s Fastest Growing Market, has been added to TheStreet.com’s top 10 book list. A Korean edition of the book, published by John Wiley & Sons, is slated to hit store shelves in that market Aug. 10. Editions in other languages are planned for publication in the near future.
The book, currently sold at major book stores and online retailers, was co-authored by Nobrega and Ashish Sinha, vice president with The Conrad Group, to help investors and corporations seize business opportunities in the emerging Indian market. It was named one of the top 10 best books about getting rich and one of the summer’s must-reads by TheStreet.com, a financial media company whose network of Web sites serves as a top news source. According to an article posted on TheStreet.com, it “earns a coveted Business Press Maven ‘Help’ label, granted with great ceremony to books that help advance investor understanding.”
“We are pleased with the positive reception and interest Nobrega’s book is receiving, and we expect its global distribution and sales will continue to expand,” said Richard Narramore, senior editor with Wiley. “We believe the book is positioned to become the first bestseller and definitive guide to understanding India, particularly as the country continues to emerge as a major competitor on the world’s business stage.”
Nobrega has more than 10 years of experience in strategic planning, facilitating mergers and acquisitions and initiating global business models in Brazil, India and China. Sinha is a consultant with 12 years of experience offering expertise in numerous industries including investment banking, consulting and knowledge process outsourcing.
