MUMBAI: The BBC World seriesBusiness Bizarre , making an in-depth look at some unique Indian business success stories, will debut this Sunday 25 April.

The series will air every Sunday at 11am and will be retelecast on the same day at 10 pm.

 
 
The first of the new programmes this weekend profiles the story of the artificial limb manufacturer, Jaipur Foot. With a winning combination of common sense and uncommon craftsmanship, this organisation has made a difference in thousands of lives.

Other firms profiled in the series include E-Chaupal, a unique business experiment that has brought about a digital revolution in Indian agriculture and Cry, the welfare organisation that thinks and acts like a corporation to name a few.

 
 

Commenting on the new episodes, BBC World commissioning editor Narendhra Morar says,"After the overwhelming response to the last two series of Business Bizarre, we have decided to commission six new episodes. These programmes will examine a number of fascinating and extraordinary Indian concerns, which will definitely interest our viewers."

The current series will give its viewers an opputunity to view some of the original episodes from the previous series such as Amar Chitra Katha; Salim Kagzi and SEWA, a labour co-operative and women's organisation rolled into one and Nalli Silks, the largest sari brand in India.
