While talking about his new book, Don't Tell the Governor, Ravi Subramanian shares his process, biggest learnings, and future plans
Listen to this article :
When did you conceive of this idea of a book on demonetisation?
While demonetisation is an integral part of the book, it goes beyond that. It's simply about an RBI governor who comes to India and his challenges with the government, lobbyists, and his personal life. And then demonetisation hits. I cannot remember a single RBI governor who didn't have a conflict with the government, so I examine the genesis of this conflict.
Tell us about your research process?
I've been in this industry for 25 years. We've had governors who have been quite dynamic as well as those who were more known for their Greek God looks than intellect. I spoke to a few deputy RBI governors or those who have worked with them to understand their behaviour more closely. In Don’t Tell the Governor [HarperCollins India], governor Aditya Kesavan is actually an academician from the US, so I had to keep that in mind as well. It wasn't just an Internet search.
