The document discusses why agile may be struggling in India. It suggests that the issues may lie not with agile itself, but with how it is being implemented. Some potential problems identified include misunderstanding of agile roles, unstable teams, lack of effective coaching, focusing too much on processes like scrum at the expense of agile principles, and ineffective use of retrospectives and information radiators. The document calls for discussing these challenges openly in order to improve agile implementation in India.

The Agile Manifesto*
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping
others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right,
we value the items on the left more.”
