Consultant, author and entrepreneur C K Prahalad asks Indians to assume moral leadership of the world

The inaugural United World College Lecture Series took place on Thursday evening at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, Colaba.

Called The United Wheels of Change, the lectures series is planned as an annual event.

After an introduction by Anand Mahindra, who urged the students and young graduates present there to become: 'drivers of change', speaker Professor C K Prahalad, the well-known Indian management consultant, author, and entrepreneur, took the mike.




India@75 telling the youth what they could do as future leaders. "India has the potential to transform the world.

How you get an adequate say in how the world is run depends on several factors. The first is: economic strength, the second is technology vitality and the third is moral leadership."

Ten Nobel prizes

As power point presentations encapsulating his views lit up the room, the professor also stressed that India needed to reclaim ownership of its moral strength, "Let us not ignore culture but create an environment in which literature and art can flower.

As a nation we should aim for 10 Nobel Prize winners in these fields."

Prahalad evoked laughs as he talked about the need to clean up corruption, "I do not say we become as clean as Finland, that may be too much to expect," he said to laughs.

"But let us become like the US at least. I equate corruption with treason, because it undermines the strength of the nation," he said as a lecture that outshone all the chandeliers in the Taj's Crystal Room ended to applause.
