The discussion sharpened the questions the book should ask: why TI India worked as it did, what it could not become, and what other companies took from it.

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

Keep the tensions in the story

The group discussed the relationship with Dallas, technical and management careers, departures and the limits on growth. These were questions to investigate in the interviews, not settled explanations.

Separate recollection from verification

The early government-approval story and the later software-park reforms need separate treatment. The team wanted documentary and outside perspectives, better technical explanation and a clear record of interviewee roles and dates.

Actions recorded at the time

Editorial: Collect unresolved questions, explain insider terms and trace claims to sources.
Interview team: Arrange follow-ups where the recordings were incomplete or a named gap remained.
Founding group: Help locate company records and photographs, with caption information.
