Montek Singh Ahluwalia is widely reckoned to be one of the brightest men in government.

Only one of two non-IAS officers ever to be appointed finance secretary, he has supervised the content, tone and tenor of the nation's fiscal liberalisation programme under both finance ministers, Dr Manmohan Singh and Palaniappan Chidambaram.

On Thursday, March 6, Mr Ahluwalia will discuss the future of India's economic reforms with a worldwide audience.

Will the reforms be scuttled by the pulls and tugs of the 13-member United Front coalition?

Can India's large fiscal deficit ever be cut?

Will the Indian economy go the way of Mexico, as some bankers feel?

Can India ever match China in attracting foreign investment?

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to chat with this most distinguished member of the Indian administration.
