Episode notes

The speakers discuss the concept of poverty as an artificial construct, their experiences at Jagannath Puri temple, and the changing times where future generations may find it hard to believe poverty once existed. They also discuss the flaws of traditional education, the challenges faced by graduates in finding jobs, and the importance of accumulating real-world skills and experiences.

Vinod Sethi served as Managing Director of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, until February 2001 and served as its Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager for 12 years. He has maintained a low public profile all these years, but he is a veteran in the Indian equity investment space with an experience of more than three decades. The little I have read and known about him, I find a man who has not been just a multidisciplinary thinker but also a true Karmayogi who has combined his inner voice at a number of times with mindful decisions and rightful efforts.
