Trying to find the name of a book I read a few years ago but googling hasn’t yielded any results.
It was set in India I think, and the main character was a teenage girl/young woman who was from a poor family and she was working in a mobile phone shop but not making much money for her family etc. Then she gets a tempting offer to be part of some mysterious scam/financial proposition/business deal type thing and I think that was organised by a billionaire.
When I try to search google it keeps bringing up Slumdog Millionaire but definitely not that.

Can you remember any more? It sounds interested so I've had a google based on contemporary novels set in India with a female protagonist and there are so many....

There was a radio 4 serial a few years ago that sounded just like that and was based on a story from the same author as slumdog millionaire

The Accidental Apprentice by Vikas Swarup was the one serialised on R4
