Thank You so much Prof. Vaidyanathan. Your talk was absolutely informative and truly engaging. I laughed at various occassions. You also made me laugh when you spoke about Advocate Ram Jetmalani. I bumped into this video by chance but I enjoyed listening to you. Truly inspiring. God Bless. Anthony from Santacruz, Mumbai, India.

Very educational talk by Prof. Vaidyanathan, with a good mix of wit and satire to enliven the session. It can get very boring talking of economic issues with just statistics (which incidentally most 'experts' do, more to show off their knowledge than to educate/inform their audience). Look forward to more such insightful talks by Prof. Vaidyanathan. Thanks to Moneylife Foundation team for organizing such talks and sharing them on public domain like here.
Professor emphasises on trusting Indian households investment, savings (Bank deposits) than FDI which is not more than 8% sofar and Govt doles out all freebies - land, power, water!! Very sad, no Govt willing to trust their own.
In India theories from harward and oxford don't work because those theories are applicable to the countries which are creating mess for last 300 years.I am laughing throughout the lecture. He is really good at making fun of the world. lol.
Education loan is detrimental to society. Demand will find supply quickly. Most of the skills needed now can be developed is short duration. True learner will seek the skills!
Education has become so expensive that the one who really deserve might not seek it, just because he doesn't have enough money. Education loan can actually help. Instead it's OK to stop reservation based on cast and religion.
