"Great content is the best sales tool in the world." - Marcus Sheridan

I travelled to Durban in South Africa in 2008 to witness the country gearing up for FIFA 2010. In the course of my travel, I met a few youngsters of Indian descent and we got talking. The cover story is the result of those conversations where they are eager to trace their Indian ancestors. The story coincided with the commemoration of 150 years of the landing of the first ship from India in SA with indentured labour.

This was a travlogue of Durban city that captures its unique flavours and throws light on how it is trying to come out of the shadows of the flamboyant  Joburg.

This cover story from 2009 tries to capture the time when Indians were discovering the magic of TED talks. It was also the year TEDIndia was launched in the Mysore campus of Infosys. I requested two well-known media men to write about the big idea -- world's best working capital. While I wrote  the anchor piece on TEDIndia.
