Former RBI governer says 'great to be back'

It's a great city. I have great colleagues. And it's a wonderful



school. "It's different every time you come back. If it wasn't different, it wouldn't be doing its job," Rajan said. Rajan was governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 2013 to September 2016.

His tenure was marked by both bouquets and brickbats but saw severe criticism from some political quarters towards the end, including personal attacks. He was accused of refusing to lower rates to boost growth, though Rajan often cited data to the contrary.

Previously, he served as the chief economist and director of research at the International Monetary Fund (from 2003 to 2006). He is currently Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, which he joined in 1991.
