Pathbreakers 2

 

 

It has been a busy week. On 15 February, G V Ramakrishna launched our second book of interviews Pathbreakers 2, as well as a gift pack of both editions at the lovely conference hall at YASHADA, Pune. G V Ramakrishna, Padma Bhushan, former Member Planning Commission, former Chairman, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Disinvestment Commission, has been one of our rare and outstanding bureaucrats who is known for his sharp wit, blunt speech and unimpeachable integrity. In his public career spanning Two Score and Twenty years (also the title of his memoirs and a must read of those who want to know how much can be done by the power of one right thinking person) Mr.Ramakrishna has never hesitated to do the right thing, even if it cost him a coveted post. He also has a way of giving power to his post, by the way he handled his job – in fact, he turned SEBI into a powerful watchdog, even when it has a fraction of the powers he enjoys today.
