Radia talks to Venkat, who is a part of Ratan Tata's office, about getting a clearance from Tata on a meeting (possibly Sunil Mittal) at a neutral place – at the Chambers or Radia's residence. Venkat also says he (Tata) doesn't want her to come to his (Sunil Mittal's) office as he is worried someone might take undue media advantage (seeing her at Mittal's office). Radia says she can handle the media. She also asks Venkat if he has spoken to his boss (Ratan Tata) about Noel (Tata).
