On Friday, the latest advance estimate released by the National Statistical Office showed that the Indian economy is expected to grow 7.3 per cent on an annual basis in the current financial year.
Raghuram Rajan is currently in India to promote his latest book 'Breaking The Mould'. He has co-authored the book with Rohit Lamba, an economist at Pennsylvania State University.
Rajan studied electrical engineering at IIT-Delhi from 1981 to 1985. He then went on to do an MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad and PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
In December last year, Rajan, during an informal chat with former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, said that India would be lucky to achieve 5 per cent growth.
