Effect of Globalization:
“Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology”
"Globalization is no longer a theoretical concept; it is a glaring reality, impinging upon almost every aspect of human existence"
The title of the novel it self tells about the effect of globalization in call center. In this novel writer wants to give message to the Indians that who working in call center they just get good salary but it not give it a opportunity to do something else or for their skills and creativity Americanized form of English in the Call Centers.
In this novel we Workers forced to change their names to Western one e.g. like,
Shyam Mehra – Sam Mercy
Varun Malhotra - Victor
Radhika Jha – Regima Jones
Esha singh – Elina
Chetan Bhagat thinks that “On a different level, I began to think about the number individuals who sacrifice their creativity and skills and join call center merely because of the fact pay packet on offer.”
Vroom cannot stand two things: the Racists and the Americans. Vroom thinks Americans get to act superior to us “not because they are better people. But because their country is rich and ours is poor. That is the only damn reason. Because the losers who have run our country for the last fifty year couldn’t do better than make India one of the poorest countries on the earth”
In this novel we find rising anxieties, fear and stress in these six characters in call center are constantly under pressure. They themselves are to be blamed for it but one can not deny that globalization is also responsible for it. Due to slack in software industry the call center wanted to cut down the number of employees in its main bay and that brings all the people under pressure. Actually this book talks about the anxieties, fears, and stress of call center employees.
Eroding values means compromising attitude .in the novel charcter of Esha who getting modelling assignments, gets ready to sleep with an influential person in the concerned field. When even after this compromise she doesn't get a way-in, she realises the horrible mistake she made. This example of hers reveals a disgusting reality in the world of modelling and fashion. At the same time it shows us a limitlessly compromising attitude that has come over today's youth

technology and information across national borders, in a way that is creating a
single global market, and to some degree, a global market”
In this book he gives three eras of Globalization
1. Globalization 1.0
2. Globalization 2.0
3. Globalization 3.0

We can say that Chetan's God becomes a mouthpiece for his self help - 'listen to the inner call'. It is about inner call or inner voice. A self-help book is one that is written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. God’s call it is a kind of a help, or it can be interpreted in many ways. God’s call pays the path, he shows just the path, but then all characters help themselves. In this way we can take this book as a self help book also.
