The Bangalore commission

Pranav’s brief was to give readers a sense of Bangalore before the technology boom, using reporting and the city’s everyday life.

This page records the discussion on this date. Plans and deadlines below are historical. See the dashboard for current status.

Write the city around the TI story

The city essay should bring in places, institutions and social life beyond the company. The voice could differ from the oral-history chapters. Outside interviews were welcome.

Use the archive as a starting point

The tagged interviews could help identify scenes and leads. Historical claims and city-wide statistics would still need their own sources.

Actions recorded at the time

Nikhil

Pranav
