TCA Raghavan, it is evident, likes to be in the wrong place at the right time. And make it work.
He had some fascinating stories to tell – and on Tuesday, February 21, the articulate sharpshooter told them with customary finesse as part of our Intimate at Algebra series.

Watch the full session above, and buy a copy of the book – a masterclass in diplomacy, Mughal style – here.
