President’s Forum with Ajay Piramal: Transformational Business and Philanthropy in India and the World

Asia Society’s signature “President’s Forum” series returns with a special conversation between Asia Society President Josette Sheeran and Ajay Piramal, Chairman of Piramal Group, to talk about his remarkable journey as a leading businessman, philanthropist, and social entrepreneur. As the leader of the Piramal Group, one of India’s largest diversified conglomerates, Piramal built the Piramal Foundation, which undertakes cutting-edge initiatives in primary education, leadership development, healthcare, potable water and women empowerment, transforming societies and uplifting the lives of millions.

Join for a fascinating conversation about Ajay Piramal’s true and genuine philanthropic lifestyle. While one of the wealthiest people in India today, Piramal believes that he is merely a trustee of wealth and that such wealth is meant to be shared to provide opportunities for prosperity and growth, and ease the burden shouldered by the larger community.

The Asia Society’s President’s Forum series began three decades ago. Past guests have made for an eclectic mix: from Kofi Annan to Winston Lord, His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Thich Nhat Hanh, Maya Lin to Yo-Yo Ma, Arianna Huffington to Nicholas Kristof, David Rockefeller to Indra Nooyi, Amartya Sen to Joseph E. Stiglitz, and many more.
