British Business Courting Calcutta

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Calcutta was once the capital of India under British rule but now British companies and others are desperately hoping to get a slice of the city's business action. India's economy is growing rapidly, and the country has a new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, seen by some as more business-friendly than his predecessors. Paul Moss presents Business Daily and asks how much historic ties can help you in the modern cut-throat world of global trade? And we hear from one old Calcutta hand who thinks that when it comes to work ethic, his fellow citizens are hopelessly lazy.
