Synopsis
'Durgapur was once a symbol of pride-of industry, growth, and human ambition.
Now, it stands as a graveyard of abandoned factories and shattered public sector dreams.
When a management consultant is sent to revive a failing plant in the town - he expects broken processes and bad management.
Instead, he finds perfection.
Metrics are green. Processes are optimized. Teams are performing.
And yet-the factory is falling apart.
As he struggles to explain the contradiction, another story begins to unfold beyond the factory gates.
In the crumbling townships and deserted quarters of Durgapur lie the secrets of a collapse-of a once-mighty industrial ecosystem that disintegrated, leaving behind lost identities, fractured communities, and unanswered questions.
A past shaped not just by bad decisions, but by forces far beyond it-Cold War alliances, geopolitical trade-offs, and betrayals at the highest levels that were never acknowledged.
As the consultant digs deeper, he uncovers layers of uncomfortable truth-and something far more unsettling lurking in the rusted industrial ruins.
The Residue of Progress is a gripping geopolitical-management mystery set in the shadow of India's industrial decline - where global power games, corporate systems, and human survival collide... and the past refuses to stay buried.
