How the Universe Conspired
James Joseph (our parishioner) inspires people to think Global and act local using his own life as an example. He has successfully transformed the way people look at the humble yet gigantic jack fruit. James Joseph is the author of recent best seller “God’s Own Office- How One Man Worked for A Global Giant from His Village in Kerala” published by Penguin Books. The Malayalam translation of the best seller got published by Manorama Books.
During his work across three continents James had the rare opportunity to design Signature dining experiences for his clients with several internationally renowned Chefs which helped him to develop JackFruit365™- an initiative to create an organized market for Indian Jackfruits, 80 percent of which is reported to be wasted every year. In just three years James has rebranded Jackfruit from the ‘untouchable’ to the ‘AHA’ Jackfruit – Aspirational, Healthy and Affordable. His biggest contribution is the first Glycemic Research on Jackfruits from Kerala through Sydney University Glycemic Index Research Services, which scientifically proved, unripe jackfruit is a better alternate to Rice and Roti to control blood sugar. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
