Parameswaran Iyer, a 1981 batch IAS officer, is the former Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, and widely regarded as the Sanitation Man of India. At the helm of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), he played a leading role in India's stupendous achievement of becoming open-defecation free in 2019. But Iyer is not your typical bureaucrat. He has had a far-from-usual career - from cracking the IAS to becoming a globe-trotting World Bank technocrat, to playing the role of a coach to his professional tennis-playing daughter, to finally returning to India and leading the SBM.
In Method in the Madness, Iyer reflects on his four-decade career and the choices he made along the way, providing key management insights, practical career advice, as well as life lessons.
