He was educated at Moscow, Madras and New Delhi, and trained as an economist at Oxford and Cambridge. He left the World Bank in Washington DC, to join the newly founded IIM Kozhikode. He left a decade later, to similarly entrepreneurial academic pursuits, first as Director of the Centre for Development Studies at Thiruvananthapuram, where he launched the first MA program of JNU outside of JNU, and then in 2015 as faculty at Ashoka University, where he is currently teaching. He has for over two decades participated in the public discourse on India's economy via his popular writings, some of which can be found at https://www.pulaprebalakrishnan.in/  He is a recipient of the Malcolm Adiseshiah Award for Distinguished Contribution to Development Studies (2014).   Prof. Balakrishnan was hosted on this episode of Roll Call by former student, Devroop Dhar of the IIM Kozhikode Class of 2006.

    [IIMKAN Careers] How to build a career in Trading

    Wall Street. The Big Short. Boiler Room. Ever wondered why most of Hollywood's blockbusters on the financial services industry, are focused on traders?  Trading careers are high octane, highly analytical, and complex with live-action every day. And in volatile times like this, there is more at stake in the financial markets. It requires a cool head under pressure and the ability to work independently in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.   We curated a stellar panel of senior alumni traders working in Hong Kong, Singapore, Mumbai and London working across market participants on the buy and sell sides - hedge fund, bank, sovereign wealth fund, and corporate treasury - who trade different assets - equity, fixed income and forex - in both flow and proprietary trading.   Our alumni discussed practical steps to get into a trading career, how to excel, career paths, what they enjoy the most about their jobs, and field audience questions during this live webinar.   Our panel includes  - Abhishek Chaturvedi - 2007 - Vice President, ICICI Securities - Mumbai  - Arijit Ganguly - 2009 - Director, Deutsche Bank - London  - Atin Gupta - 2002 - Portfolio Manager, Crescent Asset Management - Singapore  - Sourabh Shaha - 2003 - Managing Director - Head of Index Vol Trading, Societe Generale - Hong Kong  - Manoj Sinha - 2007 - AVP, FX and Derivatives Trader, General Electric - Singapore   Moderated by:  - Ankur Pruthi - 2007 - Head of FX, Norges Bank Investment Management - London
