Bob Rupani is one of India’s leading automotive journalists. In his latest book, The Golden Quadrilateral, he shares his journey through India’s lifeline – the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ). This multi-lane highway, which connects the four metro cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, was the brainchild of our former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Bob talks about the inception of this project, the challenges that the Government of India faced in its implementation, and the cultural diversity of our country.
