Study IQ is bringing the entire discussion of Perspective: Gandhi@150 to you all for your viewing through a special arrangement with National Indian Students and Alumni Union UK. We hope you make the best use of this discussion in developing a perspective while working towards the welfare of the people. Perspective: Gandhi@150 is the annual India townhall of the NISAU organised in partnership with King’s Business School – King’s College London. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk”. Today we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth, his humanism and vision of a world where every citizen has dignity and prosperity are as relevant as ever.
Dr Raghuram Rajan noted economist and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and technology entrepreneur and philanthropist Sam Pitroda explored the relevance of Gandhi to today’s economic and business challenges. The discussion explored 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.
Dr Rajan and Mr Pitroda were joined by Dr Kamini Gupta from King's Business School and Miss Sanam Arora from NISAU for this engaging and interactive discussion on Gandhi @ 150.
The speakers also considered how we might apply his philosophy to future challenges, such as the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning on employment, managing diversity in the workplace, and the relevance of the principle of economic self-reliance to today’s debate about the social and economic impact of globalisation.
