Scope, readers and launch

The group discussed how to make the oral history useful to readers beyond TI India, and how editorial review and the launch would work.

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

A book for readers outside the company

The book needs enough context for readers who did not work at TI India. The government approvals, the founding team’s choices and the work itself should carry the story. The group wanted regular reviews while the editorial team developed the form.

Prepare the launch and sales work

The discussion covered a festival panel, LURU’s existing sales channels and the difference between routine promotion and a separately organised launch event. Festival participation still needed follow-up.

Actions recorded at the time

Editorial: Develop examples of how the interviews could become a book for a general reader.
Project team: Share the photograph archive and agree the next deliverables.
Nikhil: Follow up with the festival programming team and complete the project arrangements.
