When he graduated from Chicago Booth in 1989, the software at the school couldn't process LUIS MIRANDA's submission because his Rs 40,000 salary was way below the $20,000 minimum it was programmed to register. Only a few years later, Luis would help build HDFC bank, and then IDFC Private Equity. Today, he's the chairman of the Centre for Civil Society and CORO, he's also chairman of ManipalCigna Health Insurance, senior
advisor at Morgan Stanley. and an advisor to L&T SuFin and GMR
Infrastructure. And, when Luis co-founded the Indian School of Public Policy in 2018, it found the support of people like Nadir Godrej, Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, Mphasis' Jerry Rao and Vallabh Bhanshali of Flame University.
Thirty-three years since he graduated, that guy who drew the lowest salary -- the one who became a chartered accountant because he didn't have the grades to study dental medicine -- is now a Trustee of the University of Chicago Trust in India and a member of the Global Leaders Group and the Advisory Council of the Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation at Chicago Booth. He also teaches at the Accelerated Development Program of Chicago Booth.
It's a wonderful story and there's no better person to tell it than Luis himself. On the Uppercase Podcast, he talks to me about his other big wins, too: Winning Fiona's love, raising kids who have a strong set of values, building rock-hard relationships, and making a difference to the community - and about doing it all while having loads of fun.
