    Editor Simon Atkinson said, “Our business teams in Mumbai and Delhi work hard to tell the story of India’s economy – across the BBC’s business coverage on TV, radio and online and especially through our weekly programme India Business Report (IBR). So it’s fantastic to bring an edition of BBC World News’ flagship business talk show to India’s financial capital. As presenter of IBR, Yogita’s knowledge of the country’s business world will mean she can really delve into the issues and encourage a lively debate. It’s also great that by filming at NMIMS we will be able to hear what the potential business leaders of tomorrow think about the issues.”
