PODCAST: The strength of the Indian-American community

AIG goes to trial, Narendra Modi visits the U.S. and food gets VC funding.

First up, the federal government has been accused of not aggressively going after individuals who had a part in the financial crisis. Today, it’s the federal government being sued in a federal court over its bailout of the insurance giant American International Group. A former CEO of AIG thinks the bailout cheated him and shareholders. And India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in the U.S. right now. He’ll meet with President Obama today, but he also appeared before a sold-out crowd of 20,000 at Madison Square Garden in New York this weekend, which speaks in part to the strength of the Indian-American community. Plus, let’s check the ingredients list for the recipe here: A cup and a half of Big Data, stir in an algorithm, heat in a saucepan before sprinkling in the apps. Venture Capitalists believe the food industry is next in line for disruption, and tech startups have some ideas.
