CNN SPECIAL: INDIA’S BIG CHANCE
India is the fastest growing economy in the world. In the past two years, the country even managed to benefit from the global crude oil price crash. The largest democracy on earth has a young and vibrant population and is poised for a technological boom. As it opens up to a globalised world, India still has a depth of history and intensity of culture that awes and fascinates tourists from all parts of the world.
During the half-hour special, CNN’s Indian-born Fareed Zakaria speaks with some of India’s key figures including:
- India’s Minister of Finance Arun Jaitley, on what’s ahead for India in the global economy;
- Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man and Chairman of Reliance Industries Limited, the country’s second most profitable company;
- Bollywood’s #1 superstar Shah Rukh Khan; and,
- Kunal Bahl, founder and CEO of SnapDeal, India’s leading e-commerce platform
Coming from different professional branches, the portrayed personalities try to find out if now is India’s big chance. Viewers can join the conversation about the show’s topics during the broadcast via Twitter by using the hashtag, #FZGPS.
