It’s 2006 and George bush is about to come to India on state visit. As part of histour, armed with the knowledge that 70 per cent of India is below thirty, he asks to meet one youngIndian achiever who represents the new face of the nation. The us consulate shortlists India today’s six ‘top Indian achievers under thirty. They are astockbroking genius, unfortunately named kapil dev, a possibly lesbian novelist, the ceo of alipstick company, a not – for – profit activist with sexist views, a call center owner who once lived in America, and a Microsoft programmer who likes the ladies. The winner will be selected through a round of tests, each more absurd than the other. The next day, the president will shake their hand among a long line of waiting Indian luminaries. And all six candidates are desperate to win — some are even prepared to sell their soul for it. Who will come out first? Smart, slick, and sarcastic, the president is coming is a searing comedy that captures the pulse of the nation like no other book has.
