Financial Times Video Lectures 

The Financial Times is hosting a 5-part video lecture series called Exploring New Markets: The Base of the Pyramid. The introductory video lecture is done by me, followed by my colleague Ravi Bapna on mobile telephony in BOP markets, Shamika Ravi on the myths behind the microfinance industry, Harish Bijoor on marketing to the BOP and Mudit Kapoor on the sustainability of the Indian economic growth story. Only Ravi and I are online currently, but the other lectures will follow during the course of the week.

As for the nervousness and squinting in my segment, blame it on extempore lecturing, 3 hours of sleep, jetlag and bright sun and reflectors in the eye. Excuses, excuses, I know :)
