Following our event on Gandhian values in the modern world to celebrate Gandhi Jayanti, we are delighted to be hosting economist and former Reserve Bank of India Governor Dr Raghuram Rajan in London for a series of events:
***SOLD OUT*** Public event: Perspective: Gandhi@150 (2:45pm, 23 October):
Join Dr Raghuram Rajan, noted economist and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and technology entrepreneur and philanthropist Sam Pitroda for an interactive discussion exploring the relevance of Gandhi to today’s economic and business challenges.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk”. Today, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth, his humanism and vision of a world where every citizen has dignity and prosperity is as relevant as ever.
Our discussion will explore how many contemporary movements, from sustainable development and certified B-Corp businesses that balance purpose and profit, to the non-violent resistance strategies of the Global Climate Strike have their roots and inspiration in Gandhi’s thinking.
This event is the annual India townhall of the National Indian Students and Alumni Union UK and is organised in partnership with King’s Business School and Bridge India.
