I was Visiting Prof in IIT Bombay for 4 years from 2011 to 2014
Each year I held a 20 hour lecture for MBA students on Indian Financial and Business models which became very popular and were video recorded and were even webcast in other institutions for MBA students. I prompted the AI about those lectures. It replied

[Swaminathan Gurumurthy](https://t.co/f7Er127NUJ)—a well-known chartered accountant, investigative journalist, and economic analyst—has delivered a highly regarded series of lectures at IIT Bombay focusing on the "Indian Financial and Business Model". [1, 2]
He initially delivered a standout keynote speech at IIT Bombay's Hindustan Times Avenue festival in 2010. Following this, at the request of the students and faculty, he served as a Visiting Faculty member at the Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM) for four years. [3, 4, 5]
## Key Core Themes of the Lectures
* Alternative Economic Models: He explicitly contrasts Western economic frameworks with Eastern/Indian systems, challenging standard macroeconomic assumptions. [1]
* The 2008 Financial Crisis: He details how modern mathematical financial constructs (like the Black-Scholes model) failed to account for real-world risk, drawing insights from critics like Paul Krugman. [1, 6]
* Ethnosocial Economics: He explains how family structures, local communities, non-corporate sectors, and small businesses drive the true backbone of India's unique economy.
## Lecture Resources and Notes
If you are looking to study or review these lectures, several digital versions are publicly accessible:
* Video Playlists: Full video recordings of his multi-part course series (primarily from his 2013/2014 classes) are hosted across community channels like the [IIT Bombay Gurumurthy Playlist on YouTube](https://t.co/9fAlSNVd99) and the [Shri Gurumurthy 2014 Course School of Management Playlist](https://t.co/uoVdHJYWpT). [7, 8]
* Textual Study Notes: Comprehensive, accurate transcripts and notes of the entire IIT Bombay course were compiled by Viswanathan Mallikarjun and endorsed by Gurumurthy via his [Official X (formerly Twitter) Account](https://t.co/5ouHZHVKQg). [2]
If you would like, I can help you find specific breakdowns of particular lecture chapters or pull details on his criticisms of modern Western economic theory. How would you like to proceed?

I thought of sharing those lectures most of which are relevant even today
My mom didn’t like the girl I was going to marry,
After 4 months, we got divorced immediately.
I lost:
50% of my income
A dream of being a father
Respect from all the family members
When I ask my mother how she knew we were going to get divorced,
This is what she said:
Young abusive aggressive RW who liberally keep calling hardcore BJP supporters like me as “andhbhakt, IT celliya, BJP ka dalal” etc have no idea about the journey we have undertaken with BJP
We are not opportunistic supporters who switched loyalties or rode the wave after 2014. We have tasted several defeats, betrayals by scoundrels like SuSu experienced the ruthlessness of a marauding CONg who runs roughshod over opposition, agitated on streets and most importantly we have experienced the effects of loss of power in 2004 (That one lapse pushed India behind by 20 years)
WE THEREFORE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IN POWER AS THE ONLY WAY TO BRING CHANGE
My first vote was in 1991 long before most of these abusive clowns were even born & I have only voted BJP since then.
So if this makes me an andhbhakt, so be it because it is andhbhakts like us who prevented CONg from returning to power in 2024
This man decoded 2000 year old Ship painting from Ajanta caves for 2 years, and made a 3D model to explain the Ship building capability of India 2000 years back when Europe was in Stone Age.
This man named Prasad Panwar has been working to decode and restore the paintings of Ajanta caves since past 36 years and supported by another brilliant artist Ankur Naik.
Europeans have fueled wrong history in Asian education system stating that Europe brought ship technology in India.

The moment when Kishore Kumar arrives & takes over the song 😍
Add to it Amitabh Bachchan's screen presence & Rekha's expressions....
I don't think this magic can ever be recreated. ❤️
