About the speaker:
Dr. K V Subramanian, currently Chief Economic Advisor to Government of India, is a leading expert on economic policy, banking and corporate governance. A PhD from Chicago Booth and a top-ranking IIT- IIM alumnus, he authored the path-breaking Economic Survey that commends "Ethical Wealth Creation” for a prosperous India. By integrating India's rich economic and spiritual heritage with modern economic ideas, he advocates ethical wealth creation through a marriage of the invisible hand of the market with the hand of trust. The 2019 Economic Survey – again authored by Dr Subramanian - laid out the Strategic Blueprint for India to become a $5 trillion economy by generating a “virtuous cycle” where private investment, growth, and consumption feed into each other. In the 2021 Economic Survey, he advocated counter-cyclical fiscal policy using public capital expenditure to trigger the “virtuous cycle” following the Covid crisis. The Atmanirbhar Bharat policy push of Indian Government has implemented several ideas advocated by Dr. Subramanian in his Economic Surveys.
This event is co-sponsored by SIPA’s MPA in Economic Policy Management, the Deepak and Neera Raj Center on Indian Economic Policies, and the Center on Global Economic Governance.
