From recent panel discussions @ LBS and LSE in London

Just back from an amazing afternoon at the India Business Forum where I was privileged to share a panel with High Commissioner of India, Ranjan Mathai, CEO of Cholamandalam Finance, V Subbiah, and COO & Co-Founder of Zomato.com, Pankaj.
Prof Rajesh Chandy moderated the discussion..
It was a wonderfully stimulating discussion..the questions from the audience were thought-provoking..and Prof Chandy did a fine job of bringing it all together…
In my opening remarks (and then in response to a couple of questions), I spoke about ultra low-cost innovation, why India still remains relevant – and my disenchantment with AAP..
We were then treated to a keynote by Vindi Banga – It was my first time hearing him speak in person. He is simply brilliant!
Afterwards, in a brief chat with members of the India Club at LBS, I offered to come around and have a chat with all of them about the political situation in India – and why politics matters – even to them, and even at this stage in their career…
Fingers crossed, I will get that opportunity soon..Stay tuned!
