Got the chance to dig into the previous posts question and more in detail at this podcast interview recorded in the leafy chambers of Knowledge@Wharton in Philly. My colleague, Arun Sundararajan from NYU Stern and I touched upon (among other things) how the Indian mobile market is already competitive enough and if new operators are to be allowed, under what conditions it makes sense.
You have to listen to us for now till the transcripts come out.
Part II of this interview shall roll out in the next India K@W issue on June 29.
Part of the fun that beautiful afternoon was that we also got to meet Mukul Pandya, Knowledge@Wharton's editor in chief. In his humble way, he told us how his "network" approach has led to a subscriber base of close to 1M. That's quite something for an online knowledge publication that is about a decade old.
