- review.chicagobooth.edu | Few people have careers that inhabit such prestigious peaks and such dismal valleys as Rajat Gupta’s. In a discussion of his life and memoir with Chicago Booth’s John Paul Rollert, Gupta describes some of the experiences and attitudes that helped him become managing director of McKinsey & Company, as well as the series of events that led to his imprisonment for insider trading.
Inspirational leader. A Guru. Salut.
Great interview. Mr Gupta has good stories very detailed.
Mr Gupta is just amazing and I can say that Mr Gupta's mind is without fear.
A tall man with few parallels in the ultra competitive world of management consultancy, ultimately fell for man's most base foibles. It is a shame that despite his stellar credentials, the ghosts of the trial haunt him.. even in this interview.
Great Great interview
Bharkha One of your best stories. When you present positive stories you are so much more interesting. I believe that your guest should get two Nobel Prizes ie both medicine and peace .
Sorry I sent the comments to the wrong address
V interesting man. We should encourage our youths to listen to men of wisdom like him
Excellent work and very good interview.
The thing that hit me was the prison guard putting him in solitary confinement for 7 weeks for using his towel as a back support! He should have sued that guy and brought him to his knees. It would serve a lesson to thousands of such people who does inhumane things to cornered people! 🙏
Great job by the Interviewer, in giving concise context to the audience before every new set of questions!
Interviewer looks like a character from Mad men
7 weeks solitary confinement for insider training is cruel and unusual punishment, and the fact that no direct monetary benefit to Gupta was proven seems like a failure of the Justice system, I feel for this man and I hope that people like him can learn to avoid the way he was treated
I think the interviewer did a good job pushing Gupta to explain
Fantastic human being.
Good interview and no one can/should be judged off past mistakes. “Let he without sin cast the first stone” sit back listen and learn if you don’t like it move on.
It bothers me how Rajat Gupta keeps on saying he does not remember anything ....if he is really clean (and I am not making a judgement on whether he is clean or not), I think he would have been better off stating "I did not disclose any confidential information" instead of saying that he does not remember what he said !!!

How can I contact Rajat Gupta?

@@prrofessorlogger7338 this isn't funny. I'm serious.
Do not associate yourself with dishonest people. Move on. This was Gupta’s fatal flaw. When trust is broken, move on FAST.
Gupta knew without a doubt that Raj was a dishonest dealer. His greed got the best of him and he wasn’t able to cut Raj off.
@@ngalawena I don't think he is dishonest but he is not that kind of a person who can judge what is good and bad immediately. We indians are lazy.
The interviewer seems a bit obnoxious tbh
Seems to be a good man who couldn't resist greed, but hasn't come to terms with his getting caught. Unfortunately, a man still very much in denial. He knows what he did, and so does the Justice Department. He lost his case and all subsequent appeals. Would have been the honorable thing to do to say "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, don't do what I did". But that was not to be. He writes a book, and talks about how innocent he is. He did the students at Booth School of Business, no favors ! Was that the message you want your students to take away ? Really ?
ITT Delhi!
Where are the Human Rights activists in USA?
They are all up to no good - in India ! Keep 'em there.
As an Indian, he should know the European law that defines that day. American jury verdict sounds good but it's also fixed. Every race paid a price before it's gets better.
Don’t think he did it. Very unfortunate this happened to him. He seems like a guy caught in a bad moment
NOW TRYING TO RESURRECT....?
!Unlike other global markets ,The credit goes to US market for its vigilance in guarding its citizrns and but for which there will be more Guptas & Ratnams !
He remembers everything the day of the Berkshire announcement except whether he spoke to Raj despite calling him seconds after the Board meeting. What a scum bag lol
"What a scum bag lol?", yes, seems that is strange, possibly on the advise of his lawyer and he will have to maintain that for the rest of his life. FBI was recording every conversation of Raja Ratnam for years, what they have? Nothing of any substance, FBI offered plea bargain to Raja Ratnam, just to implicate Rajat Gupta, he refused. Raja Ratnam on record has stated the whole conversation, he stated that actual conversation between him and Rajat Gupta lasted for 16 seconds, rest of the time of 36 seconds between secretaries. According to Raja Ratnam, Rajat asked him about some of his investment, then Raja Ratnam mentioned that his source is informing him that Congress will pass the 'TARP', then Rajat said that will be good for Goldman Sachs. Ratnam was buying Goldman and other financial shares for weeks. FBI has no evidence of financial gain of Rajat Gupta from Ratnam. As Rajat mentioned that GS and other financial stocks was rising from 1pm, Market always knows or anticipate beforehand the important market events. Beside that, 'TARP' was discussed on TV channels thoroughly for weeks. This is all doing of another character of Indian origin, Preet Bharara, he also went after one Indian lady diplomat, on domestic help issue, his jeal to go against the prominent Indians was just to further his career, now he is on CNN giving rubbish against Trump. I wish Karma catches up with this 'Scum bag' sooner.
What about "Greedy mind" as your next book Mr. Gupta. you know a thing or two about it :-)
Half knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance.
He received no payments for what you are talking about, humans make mistakes....btw What have you contributed to the society if I may ask?
@@maxuser1221 My main contribution to the society is that I did not cheat on it and I did not write the book about it. May I ask what have you contributed to the society ?
@@mattbrody1424 if this is your main contribution then maybe you are too dumb to make any contribution and using someone else’s misfortune to feel a little good…
@@maxuser1221 Thanks for your comprehensive response and not answering my question.
you should have thought about that before playing with other ppls money
Oh yeah… Rajat had absolutely no motive to tip off Raj?… Nice try.. How about wanting to get into the billionaires club for one? And the frustration that despite an IITian and a HBS pass out you couldn’t match up to Raj? Cmon Mr. Gupta…people can see through you…. Take responsibility for the fact that you wanted more… This blame game is not getting you anywhere….
True ! This man has no remorse and learnt nothing.
R Gupta: You did violate the laws and convicted and went to jail & u r using "these" times and the book are NOT UNDER OATH
McKinsey & Company failed him
A rehab interview to clear his name.... what a joke...the man was caught talking in code ... no wonder the conversation lasted less than 35 seconds with Rajaratnam ...Mr. Gupta nice try...by the way Raj was no angel,,,
Wasnt it quick judgemental / Too quick to write him off. !! I dont know either Time will tell is my view
The guy was / is a criminal!
he was made a scapegoat .. real culprits got away
Fuck u
ok...thanks for passing an invaluable judgement...
He is an unrepentant felon for sure
