Radia Tapes: (20090619_164800) Jeh, Radia

This is another conversation in continuation of the earlier one, where the topic seems to be buying some mines or property in Brazil, with similar doubts being expressed about them (Radia-Jeh) being left out and sellers contacting Tatas(apparently) directly. So are these two working as agents of Tatas or they are striking a deal for themselves does not come out clearly. But highly intriguing alright, especially considering the anxiety displayed to sign the Non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It is clear from this and earlier conversation between Radia and Jeh, who seems to be based in London, that Radia is not just into Corporate communications or consulting for Tatas, but much more than that internationally also, with others.
