NIKHIL PRASAD OJHA: I presented at the Board of Steward meeting for the Future of Consumption Initiative of the World Economic Forum.

And it was a very animated discussion. That's because people do realize that the future of consumption over the next decade is as much in India, China and ASEAN as it may be in the US and the Western European markets.
There were a bunch of questions. And what was interesting to me was that it was as much about the opportunity as it was about the challenges that multinational companies are going to face in these markets.
