[00:00:19] Fisher, Global CEO of Stirling Education and Chairman of X1 Greenwich also known as Tim Fisher.

[00:00:28] Tune in for a captivating conversation that not only unveils the layers of India's investment allure

[00:00:35] but also offers solutions to the obstacles that lie ahead. India holds such a special place in Tim's

[00:00:43] heart that he has named his daughter India and has a house in Gujarat, the state of Gujarat in

[00:00:50] India. This is High Five India segment with Tim that provides a brilliant glimpse into what

[00:00:58] is in store in the full episode. Enjoy. India for you in one word? Enigmatic. Why?

[00:01:13] It's mysterious as I said a mystery within an enigma within a riddle. Oh wonderful okay.

[00:01:21] Number three, what is the export to the world the most exciting export of India to the world?

[00:01:30] Right I've got two answers to this first because my son is he lives for cricket and

[00:01:36] he lives for Indian cricket and we used to love the Chennai Super Kings and he I was very

[00:01:43] lucky to go to the Madras Cricket Club and see the Super Kings with him so for me that

[00:01:50] is my special export cricket for because the IPL before the IPL there's no such

[00:01:59] structure of the game and IPL is so exciting so exciting. The other export the other export for

[00:02:09] India. Bollywood. You watch it? I love to watch Bollywood movies from time to time.

[00:02:19] I know the script. I know the script. Man meets boy or sorry girl meets boy falls in love,

[00:02:27] bad man takes girl. You've not watched after surely it seems like. No anyway so

[00:02:35] if you live in the United Kingdom Indian heritage is there it's part so my children who are 27 and

[00:02:42] 24 respectively they don't know anything other than having Indian heritage as part of the

[00:02:48] the the UK culture be that music be that food be that Bollywood as I said it's very much

[00:02:58] part of the British culture it's great. Brilliant what is your favourite cuisine?

[00:03:05] Keralan food it's so light. I mean we'll do a double high five because I like that too.

[00:03:12] Okay you have worked with Indians all the way through yes one takeaway of working with them.

[00:03:17] Mental toughness. Okay if you could have dinner or lunch with one historical or present

[00:03:26] leader of India who would that be? Oh that's a great question. I don't want to be rude to

[00:03:33] Mr Modi so I'll say that I suspect he'd be too busy to have dinner with me. If I had the

[00:03:39] ability to go back in time I think based on the history Mr Nehru I think that would be.

[00:03:47] I think so. I think that would too. Why? Because at the time that was a moment in time.

[00:03:54] We know that was a moment in time. Some things were just so they got something so horribly wrong.

[00:04:04] No I just think they the experience of I think my question to him over dinner would be

[00:04:10] the former Viceroy and his wife let's say that might be that that might be for pudding

[00:04:15] but I think my question is so what did you get so right and what did you get so wrong?

[00:04:23] Because we all know the tragic circumstances around independence. Okay brilliant I think

[00:04:29] it deserves that. Thank you. This special Hi5 India section offered a glimpse into the full
