Chidambaram gets literary, to share dais with Muhammad Yunus at Tata Lit Live

Literature festivals are no longer about just listening to your favourite author. They offer a great chance to hobnob with business and political heavyweights. Especially when the event is in Mumbai, it would be incomplete without some finance talk.

At Tata Lit Live’s 2016 edition later this month, attendees can hear from Muhammad Yunus, founder, Grameen Bank. He will share the stage with former union finance minister P Chidambaram on November 19. The topic of conversation: banking for the bottom billion. The audience will be hanging on to every word of the two speakers. After all, one has crafted a modern day microfinance success story. And the other has managed the finances of the world’s largest democracy. They know a few things about numbers.
