Vikram Mansharamani

“Vikram is a lively and engaging speaker. Right from the first moment Vikram steps on stage he captivates the audience and involves them in the session- no one is looking at Blackberries or leaving the room - they are all fascinated with what he has to say. Vikram is a very versatile speaker- he can give thoughtful and entertaining solo presentations communicating a clear and relevant business message but in addition he is a real asset to panel discussions- he encourages debate and creates a compelling dialogue. You can trust Vikram to add value, insight and personality to any conference.”

Vikram Mansharamani

  • Expert on Bubble Scenarios
  • Author, Boombustology

Boom-bust cycles occur more frequently than ever. The most notorious ones impact financial markets – but they impact nations, healthcare, food, energy, education, technology and many other areas as well. Given their frequency, why are we still surprised when unsustainable scenarios burst? Vikram Mansharamani, author of Boombustology, is expert at helping people recognize and manage the risk of bubble trouble. He steps back from complex market dynamics and uses a multiple-lens framework to look at disparate data and then connect the dots – providing actionable insights; is there a bubble, where is it in its lifespan and what actions should you take to avoid bubble risk?

Vikram Mansharamani Speech Topics

Boombustology

Be First to Identify Bubble Trouble In direct contrast to generally-accepted academic beliefs, Dr. Mansharamani makes a persuasive case that it is possible to identify financial bubbles before they burst. His entertaining examples from the worlds of art, architecture, television, and popular culture (as well as economics and politics) show that anyone can connect the dots and effectively anticipate the future.

All Hail the Generalist

Applying the Power of Foxy Thinking Dr. Mansharamani has argued that generalists are better suited to navigating uncertainty. Entertaining, empowering, and inspirational, his message is simple: in probabilistic situations, connecting the dots is more important than developing dots.

Unconventional Look at the Global Economy

As a 20+ year veteran investor in global markets, Dr. Mansharamani applies a unique combination of practitioner experience with academic perspective to help audiences understand the impact of economic, financial, and political developments.

The Sustainability of Chinese Growth: Red Flags Rising?

Through an accessible application of his bubble-spotting framework (combined with his 20 years of studying China), Dr. Mansharamani questions the long-term sustainable growth rate in China. His conclusion: growth over the next ten years is more likely to be 4ish% than 7ish%.

Food, Fuel & Finance: An Unholy Trinity

The boom in American shale gas has created a bust in natural gas prices, ethanol policies in the United States are driving corn prices, and financial flows into commodities are distorting price signals. Dr. Mansharamani helps untangle these dynamics in an easy-to-understand and accessible manner.
