- (1888PressRelease) February 29, 2012 - The Saïd Business School, University of Oxford will host the 6th annual Oxford India Business Forum on March 19th, 2012 at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai. This year the Forum will focus on the subject of Governance and Financial Regulation and will bring together policy makers, business people and leading academics from India and across the world, to speak on the subject.
Commenting on the Forum, Peter Tufano, Dean and Professor of Finance at Saïd Business School said, "For the last six years, Oxford University has organised this business event in India bringing together individuals whose concern is for the nation. Once again we will meet to make a fundamental contribution to thinking and policy formulation on two issues that are of central importance to India in the 21st century - financial regulation and governance."
In two panel sessions eminent speakers will explore and discuss questions that have assumed great importance in light of recent events.
The first of these will explore financial regulation. Regulatory systems around the world have been perceived to have failed to detect the underlying trends leading to the current crisis. Panelists will explore the appropriateness of this characterisation of regulatory bodies, as well as reflect on the lessons learned about the appropriate size, compensation, and composition of regulatory bodies in relation to the financial sector. The goal will be to perceive the outlines of what proactive, technologically sophisticated regulation should look like in the future.
The panel will include Sir Thomas Harris, Special Advisor, Standard Chartered Bank; Usha Thorat, Director of the Centre for Advanced Financial Research and Learning (CAFRAL), Reserve Bank of India; Ms Chitra Ramkrishna, Joint Managing Director, National Stock Exchange.
The second panel will examine the perception of an apparent disruption in normal models of governance around the world. Social networking, a 24-hour news cycle, and the advent of high-speed communications have created new information flows, which make policy making and business exceedingly complex.
These information flows have increased the ability to detect inconsistencies in decision making amongst both government and private entities, and pinpoint groups that economic growth has left marginalised. The panel will discuss their vision of how these trends will and should affect models of political leadership, corporate governance, and economic inclusion.
The panelists for the discussion on Governance include; Mr Mani Shankar Aiyar, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, Shekhar Gupta, Editor-in-Chief, Indian Express, Dr K P Krishnan, Secretary, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Ramesh Ramanathan, Co-Founder, Janaagraha, Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy, N Vaghul, Chairman Emeritus, ICICI Bank Ltd.
Peter Tufano, Dean and Professor of Finance at Saïd Business School and Prof. Andrew Hamilton, Vice Chancellor, Oxford University will also be attending the forum.
The 2012 Oxford India Business Forum is sponsored by Tata Consultancy Services
