Fredrika Ornbrant, consul general of Sweden, says, "The idea is to encourage innovative spirit and exchange ideas for the creation of a successful future."

The photos were selected from the submissions to the Embassy of Sweden during a photo competition. "The selection has been based solely on the quality and creativity of the photos. It is my hope that this book will serve as a source of inspiration for further creative exchange between Sweden and India," adds Ornbrant.
