The Global Investors Meet has just concluded. Preparing for a panel discussion organised by the British Council at the two-day event, I was reflecting on what a long history Madras/Chennai has had with investor and trade meets. Let us not forget that the East India Company, no matter its horrible later history, came here as an investor in trade. The grant by the Nayak reads very much like what a modern-day government would commit to entice investment.
