PV Narasimha Rao

GV Ramakrishna, a 1952-batch IAS officer of the Andhra Pradesh cadre, passed away this weekend. His legacy is marked by events like challenging the PMO during his stint as petroleum secretary and as the most effective chairman in the history of SEBI, where he oversaw the cleanup of the stock market.

Remembered for his pivotal role in ushering in a new era of liberalization, Rao steered India in its worst phase of economic turmoil and led the way to recovery. #PVNarasimharao #BirthAnniversary
