Day 6: Humayun's tomb, Network 18, IBM Daksh

Day 6 began with a trip to Humayun's tomb. Humayun was the second Mughal Emperor to rule India and died in the 16th century. One of the more impressive last resting places that I've seen throughout the world...

Here's some detail from inside the tomb. A local pointed it out for 100 rupees - well worth it!!

We then moved on to a visit with Rajdeep Sardesai, the managing editor of CNN-IBM. He's also a very well known news anchor in the country - our trip leaders seemed to be a little star struck by the meeting! Mr Sardesai spoke to the group for about an hour, answering questions ranging from the media's role in fighting corruption to business practices in media in the country. Here we are sporting our channel 18 hats, getting ready to take a final picture. You can see Mr. Sardesai in the center with our signature bottle of wine gift.

From channel 18, we drove to IBM - Daksh to meet with the company's founder and CEO, Pavan Vaish. Mr. Vaish had a great perspective for the group on managing a company from founding to maturity within the India market. After a lengthy Q&A, we toured a call center on the premises.

After the meeting we arrived home late to the hotel. Personally, I called it a night but many fearless trip mates ventured out for some local bhangra club dancing. I imagine that the night probably looked something like the picture below...
