70: Adda: A Brief History of Time and Google's Health Experiment

Published: Feb. 20, 2020, noon

In our final episode of this season of Transfin. Adda, we journey back in time to understand why the RBI's accounting year is different from the Government's fiscal year, and why that is different from our calendar year. The answer takes us to 12th century Europe and Rome in the 1st century BCE!

Then, we travel back to the present and discuss how Google has one leg in the future. The tech giant is engaged in a unique experiment to use architecture and aesthetics to encourage its employees to eat and live healthy. What is it doing right and what can we learn from its endeavour?
