Running Behind Lakshmi: The Search for Wealth in India’s Stock Market
Adil Rustomjee with Narayan Ramachandran
Bio
After a career in international development and markets, Adil Rustomjee discovered his life’s work as a chronicler of India’s stock markets. The idea for Running behind Lakshmi: The Search for Wealth in India’s Stock Market came when he stumbled upon the BSE archives during the time he had an office in the exchange’s building. These nuggets of history were just lying around, but a substantial account had yet to be written about an equity market that was over two centuries old.
Adil Rustomjee then made it his calling to narrate the market’s past, outline its methods, and detail its participants.
Besides taking a keen interest in financial markets, he is a student of military history and strategy.
