Dr. Krishnamurthy Subramanian, currently the Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India, is a leading expert on economic policy, banking, and corporate governance. A PhD awardee from Chicago-Booth and top-ranking IIT-IIM alumnus, he authored the groundbreaking Economic Survey that commends "ethical wealth creation" for a prosperous India. His idea of Thalinomics -- what a common person pays for a thali -- has been acclaimed as the Indian Big Mac Index. His 2019 Economic Survey laid out the strategic blueprint for India to become a $5 trillion economy through a virtuous cycle where private investment, wage and employment growth, as well as consumption feed into each other. The slew of reforms implemented in the Government of India's COVID economic package draw on key ideas advocated by him in the economic surveys of 2019 and 2020. Dr. Subramanian's research in banking, law and finance, innovation and economic growth, and corporate governance has been published in several of the world's leading journals.
