The editor-in-chief of the newsletter is Anshima P. Srivastava, Assistant Professor of Business Communication/Technical Communication, Language and Literature. The author of the book review, Rahul Mishra, is part of the ICICI Business Leadership Programme. I consider the book review to be reliable because it has editorial oversight from a professor.

The article notes:
Upworldly Mobile is a guide to behavioural and business skills for the new Indian manager. This is a book which came out of observing expatriate and Indian managers closely for over 17 years.
...
Her first chapter explains how to meet and greet people from other cultures. This is not as simple as it sounds. ... Manian takes pains to explain what works with Westerners. ... Upwardly Mobile also tells a young manager how to deal with the Far East.
...
Upwardly Mobile offers a lot of tips to foreigners as well. It is a genuine attempt to bridge the gaps between global citizens, all drawn from Manians interaction with her list of over 1,000 clients, from 76 nationalities, many of them from Fortune 500 companies. The style is chatty and anecdotal. It is definitely a ready reckoner for the global Indian setting forth on her maiden assignment.

The article notes:
The audience bursts into laughter when Ranjini Manian, Founder and CEO of relocation and cross-cultural destination services company Global Adjustments, poses this question to Jennifer McIntyre, Consul General, US Consulate, Chennai. The conversation is part of the launch of Upworldly Mobile: Behaviour and Business Skills for the New Indian Manager, Manian's book, launched at Chennai on Thursday. Penguin is the publisher.
...
The book aims to provide practical tips to enhance communication between Indian managers working with expatriates or in global workplace. Through anecdotes, it tells readers how to deal with real-life situations, running the gamut from dress sense and firm handshakes to meeting deadlines and expectations.

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Upworldly Mobile to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
