Deniz Güven: Brave New Bank

Born and raised in a small town in central India, Deputy Mayor for Business in London, Rajesh Agrawal, moved to London in 2001 at 24. He arrived at Heathrow with £200 in his pocket and without knowing a soul. But he still felt at home in London, citing that feeling as one of the best things about the city.
