Iran's 'Tantalising' New Business Opportunities

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Iran has become a 'tantalising' business opportunity since sanctions were lifted - we hear how natural gas, automobiles and planes are the country's ripest industries for new investors. Today, we are live from Delhi, and we take a robust look at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's drive to improve India's economy. Is it working? And, why is air pollution levels forcing some to relocate to escape the dirty air? Finally, we hear how My Little Pony toys have evolved in to 'bronies', attracting a new male clientele - and other hot toy trends coming up this year. Our live guests are Alexis Goldstein from Americans for Financial Reform in Washington, and Sushma Ramachandran, former chief business reporter for The Hindu newspaper in New Delhi.
