Tara Ramaseshan is a public speaker, author, and amateur historian. She loves exploring connections between India's past and present, beginning with the ancient Indus Valley civilization that dates back some 6,000 years. Trained originally as a lab scientist, she took a MSc in Zoology and specialized in genetic engineering at University of Poona, then worked for two years at the Swedish pharmaceutical Astra Research Centre in India where she discovered her preference for working with people rather than microscopes. She abandoned the lab to begin a decade long career at Proctor & Gamble India and became an expert on consumer product development research, with studies on a diverse array of consumers at P&G sties around the world. An avid reader, Ms. Ramaseshan is the author of several educational books for children published originally in English and translated into five vernacular Indian languages. She lives in Mumbai with her family. Her love of Indian history, her curiosity and attention to detail led to the subject of her presentation today “Ancient India to the Present through the Lens of the Rupee.”
