Cordially invite you to attend The Fourth C K Prahalad Memorial Lecture 2015 delivered by Dr. Raghuram Rajan​ Governor, Reserve Bank of India on "Reforming the Financial Sector” Friday, 18th September, 2015 | 10:00 AM  - 11:00 AM Crystal Room, The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai Ananta Aspen Centre and Confederation of Indian Industry cordially invite you to the Fourth C K Prahalad Memorial Lecture 2015.  Dr C. K Prahalad (1941-2010), management guru, teacher, thinker and visionary was passionate in his belief of India’s inherent potential and its chosen destiny. He  strongly felt that a country with a billion people should not look outward for “best practices” but innovate “next practices”. His belief in the Indian capacity for innovation, given its diversity and interrogative intellectual traditions made him celebrate Indian achievement and achievers. In all of these he also demonstrated his belief that innovation should focus on those at the bottom of the pyramid. His contributions in management like ‘competitive advantage’, strategy as stretch’, fortune at the bottom of the pyramid’ and ‘co-creation’ will continue to excite students and colleagues to walk those roads.
