A few weeks back I had spoken at the Launch of the book “The Business of Business is (not) just business : How Behavioural Tools Can Drive Real Change” written by @sutapaban published by Harper Collins. The session was moderated by Safi Rizvi and Sutapa and I were panelist’s. I was reminded of this when I just saw a piece in The Print about it theprint.in/pageturner/exc… The book is full of insights about how knowledge of human behaviour gives insights that can influence and drive businesses and business strategy. In my chapter in this book I discuss how observation of my colleagues’ behaviour provided the germ of the idea of naukri.com One other gem that Sutapa spoke about at the launch was that it has been proven that males display alpha behaviour on the trading floor and end up taking excessive risk and therefore lose money precisely because they are men and have excessive testosterone. Female traders don’t exhibit the same behaviour. She implies that trading and investing firms should hire more females. A book worth reading and thinking about. amzn.in/d/0eOSKn51 Disclosure - Sutapa and I are Colleagues on the Eternal board. She chairs the Audit Committee. @zomato @letsblinkit @deepigoyal @albinder @akshant_g @InfoEdgeVC @kitty_agar

India’s boardrooms have never been more vocal about doing good. “The Business of Business Is (Not) Just Business”, edited by @sutapaban with a foreword by Nadir Godrej, attempts to dissect how behavioural tools can turn intent into action. @HarperCollins. Order Now: amzn.in/d/05DdeCiM

पैसे के बदले वोट देने वाली राजनीति में संवैधानिक अधिकारों को मजबूत करने के लिए पूँजी आएगी कहाँ से? प्रोफेसर दीपा सिन्हा ने ‘हम भारत के लोग’ पुस्तक के विमोचन के दौरान यह अहम सवाल उठाया।

“Everybody in society must have a basic minimum.” Prof. Prabhat Patnaik emphasizes the importance of the fundamentals of social security at the launch of “हम भारत के लोग”!

“मौलिक अधिकारों पर जब प्रहार हो तो केवल लोकतांत्रिक संस्थाएं हमें न्याय दिला सकतीं हैं। जब संस्थाओं पर ही प्रहार हो तो यह ज़रूरी है की लोकतांत्रिक संगठन अपनी ज़िम्मेदारी निभायें।” पारदर्शिता अधिकार कार्यकर्ता अंजलि भारद्वाज ने “हम भारत के लोग” के लोकार्पण पर अपने विचार रखे।

अनुवादक कुंदन कुमार ने बताया कैसे सामाजिक सुरक्षा केवल आरक्षण तक सीमित नहीं! “हम भारत के लोग” पुस्तक के विमोचन से।

“We the people, will finally prevail, overcoming the challenge of pushback against rights based order.” Social Rights Activist @nikhilmkss shares hope for a deeper democracy at the launch of “हम भारत के लोग”!

“UPA regime made a concerted effort to draw inspiration from the constitution to ensure citizen rights. That productive developmental ecosystem is under demolition today.” @KRajuINC sir speaks at the launch of “हम भारत के लोग”!

“समाज की तरह सरकार के ढांचे में भी जवाबदेही ऊपर की तरफ़ है। कलेक्टर के कहने पर पटवारी 24 घंटे एक जगह खड़ा रह जाए… पर क्या वह जानता की तरफ़ जवाबदेही समझता है?” सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता पारस बंजारा ने पूछा जवाबदेही के अभाव में कैसा लोकतंत्र?

“हम भारत के लोग: लोकतंत्र की बुनियाद और अधिकारों की स्थापना” के लोकार्पण की झलकियाँ। आपकी उपस्थिति, विचारों और संवाद के लिए आभार। @KRajuINC @nikhilmkss @RakshitaSwamy88 @sinhadipa @Rajpal_Sons #पुस्तक_लोकार्पण

The West Asian war has incurred heavy global costs—including a new strategic reality & escalating great-power competition between America & China. India must brace for major geopolitical & geoeconomic disruptions. @salman7khurshid sir & I write in @IndianExpress today.

आज @SBFIndia द्वारा ‘संविधान, धर्मनिरपेक्षता और सिक्ख धर्म’ विषय पर आयोजित कार्यक्रम में मेरा संबोधन:

A few days back I was on a panel organised by the @SBFIndia to discuss how the war in West Asia and the India-US trade deal have created numerous socio-economic problems in India. Here’s an excerpt👇

"Structural change in menstrual health requires more than the letter of the law; it necessitates executive action backed by gradual and institutionalized social transformation." @prakhar_mandar writes. thetryst.in/opinion/celebr…

"... What's clear is that the so-called Vishwaguru, or the emperor, has no clothes." @SalilShetty, at the launch of India's Tryst with the World.

"...there is no transparency about what's happening on the border. According to the satellite pictures at least, the Chinese have been making gains before and after Galwan." Shiv Shankar Menon (Former NSA) speaks at the launch of India's Tryst with the World.

"There is no policy; there are positions that they take from time to time. Case by case, they are positions they take." @salman7khurshid speaks at the launch of India's Tryst with the World.
