My role models in Indian Academic Finance

I would like to share my role models in Academic Finance. Of course this cant be an exhaustive list. I tried to put whom ever I came across or read personally or through their writings.

  1. Ajay Shah definitely one of the top most thinkers in finance, economics and policy. His book on India's Financial Markets is a must read for any body remotely connected with Indian Finance.The book is full of empirical justifications rather than empty opinion.
  2. Susan Thomas . I admire for her clarity and depth in econometric treatment of financial markets. She has lot of top quality finance materials online for free download.
  3. J R Verma . Famous for Derivatives. I have used his book on DERIVATIVES & RISK MANAGEMENT for my class at VJIM.
  4. Kotha Kiran Kumar of NISM. I have attended two summer schools on EERF just to listen to his interpretation of Market Microstructure research and his unique way of analysing research papers. He shows you how to connect econometrics with finance.
  5. Prasanna Chandra . I have heard his lectures at my initial days at ICFAI.
  6. NJ Yasaswy for pioneering the the financial education revolution in India through ICFAI.
  7. SSS Kumar who is an alumni of SVUSBM whre I have also studied.
  8. M S Reddy has made initial impression on me at my SV University MBA days for his way of questioning.
