Share | Rate

We have the talks from day two of TEDIndia. Read on about why we think Scott Cook is a scarecrow for the middlemen who haunt Indian farmers and how Harsha Bhogle's best ever commentary on cricket happened here.

Srivatsa Krishna: 'An invisible war we fight'

He's the man who's been studying infrastructure and its journey upward. He's also the man asking us to partake in the evolution happening all around us.

Krishna explains the explosive growth of Indian cities such as Hyderabad and how TEDIndia host, Infosys, has witnessed a boom.

He explains: You and I fight an invisible war to bring ourselves to a reasonable standard of living. India is beginning to make some headway in that war. Home to many thriving technology businesses, Hyderabad keeps growing, Infosys is highly successful and the fastest broadband cable in the world connects Singapore to India and is owned by an Indian company.

Huge leaps are also happening in other parts of the world, like Dubai's huge urban plans, the skywalk above the Grand Canyon, and we may even be able to vacation in outer space soon. You and I comprise the system that we complain about. We can sit by the wayside or make that small change wherever we are working and be a part of a bigger change in the world.
