Raamdeo Agrawal is the chairman and co-founder of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. (MOFSL), one of India’s largest and most successful investment firms. From its founding in 1987, starting with virtually no capital, MOFSL has grown into a financial services powerhouse with a market value exceeding $6 billion and strong market positions in brokerage, public market investing (through its mutual funds), private equity, real estate and investment banking. Mr. Agrawal is also a dedicated philanthropist who believes in “giving while living,” and is committed to helping India develop its education system and uplift rural areas.

Mr. Agrawal will share his remarkable journey and address his unique investment philosophy of combining value and growth, which has been a driving force behind the firm’s success. He will also reflect on the forces shaping finance today, both in India and globally. Finally, he will offer advice, particularly suited to young people, about how to build wealth and give back to society through effective philanthropy.

The talk will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
