...What's changing, of course, is India's demographic makeup as the nation's booming economy mints a critical mass of newly affluent consumers. Last year, the average Indian salary surged 14% (18% for IT professionals), the highest wage growth in Asia, according to a study by Hewitt Associates, a global human-resources company.

To his eternal credit, he took time out from his sport to mingle with...
...recent show at the Cooper-Hewitt museum in New York City, Orth exhibited a fabric with a hue that alternates from a nearly monochrome gray to a tricolor gray-red-and-green jacquard. The colors appear when electrodes woven into the cloth generate heat, which in turn causes temperature-sensitive dyes in the cloth to change hue. "Making this fabric is like making an interactive painting," says Orth, who has come full circle since her undergraduate days spent painting on canvas...
