Long before RBI governors and chief economic advisors became rockstars, there was the original.
Montek Singh Ahluwalia.
The visible face of a hitherto invisible domain.
But then Montek is – and never was – just an economist. As deputy chairman of the planning commission – a position that carried cabinet rank – and previously, in a widely lauded stint at the International Monetary Fund, he became an oxymoron, a civil servant with a firm, committed public position, rather than a fluid one.
In the three decades since, he went on to shape the Contemporary Indian economic landscape as few men have, and in this straight-talking session, he took on questions about past and future, and about new ideas to solve India’s most complex economic challenges.
From the most challenging issues of the economy to the future of jobs, and the ground reality outside of hyperbole and hubris, this is an engaging, revealing conversation with a man who knows the Indian economy inside out.
Watch the full session above.

Algebra, the Arts & Ideas Club brings together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking.
At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is a live and continuous space for people to come together for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.
Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host almost 35 engagements over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al.
