Business Matters comes live from Kerala in India

Kerala is getting a new deep water container port. We hear from the state government of Kerala; fishing boat owner, Isaac John; Sonia George of the Self Employed Women's Association and Karan Adani, CEO of Adani Ports. We speak to CK Hemalatha, district co-ordinator for Kudumbashree, Kerala’s state poverty eradication mission.  We soak up the atmosphere at the Trisshur Pooram, one of the biggest religious events of the year.  In Kerala, the Communist Party is currently the ruling party - we speak to CP John, General Secretary of Kerala' Communist Marxist Party. The BBC's Stephen Ryan looks at the stories of some transgender people in Kerala and their search for work. And joining Fergus throughout the programme are Jyoti Malhotra in New Delhi - she’s National and Strategic Affairs Editor at The Print. And joining us in Kochi is John Mary, Regional Editor at the Deccan Chronicle.
