    Dr. Peter Diamandis (@PeterDiamandis) has been named one of “The World’s 50 Greatest Leaders” by Fortune magazine. In the field of innovation, Diamandis is Chairman and CEO of the XPRIZE Foundation, best known for its $10 million Ansari XPRIZE for private spaceflight. Today the XPRIZE leads the world in designing and operating large-scale global competitions to solve market failures.

    They dance as they grow

    For most people, dancing is something they either do well or don't do at all.

    For Savitha Sastry and Neetha Jayaraj, dancing is the result of years of rigorous training rooted deeply in their culture.
