Speeches
I have been giving speeches on Latin America in Indian chambers of commerce, companies, think-tanks, Business Schools and academic institutions since 1997. I also speak about India and business with India in Latin America in Spanish and Portuguese. Occasionally I give motivational speeches. I have given around 200 speeches from 2004, when I started keeping a record. My speeches are always extempore. I have put over seventy speeches in YouTube since November 2007. Most of the speeches in the period 2007-12 are in Spanish made in Argentina during my posting there. The speeches after June 2012 are in English.
These are in my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/IndembassyAR/videos
