The Happiness Equation of Life

Arts and Sciences Lecture Series
Manasij Ganguli, Speaker at Ahmedabad University

Manasij Ganguli

Founder and CEO
ZapScale
Speaker

In this talk Manasij reflects on his life as an entrepreneur. The talks arcs the journey of Manasij building a world class optimisation for an NP Hard problem that solved an age old conundrum in the manufacturing domain to building, scaling and eventually selling his startup. He touches upon the scope of mathematical structures that are neglected in the everyday problems that have immense optimisation potential for building large-scale applications for the underserved industries. Manasij then discusses his rich experience of working with dozens of billionaires and celebrated successful people, who despite their success and wealth, seem to be unhappy. He asks the thought provoking question - what is happiness? And what is the evidence and metrics on which one can chart a happier path in one’s life? This talk is for all - students and faculty and delivered with a dash of humour and promises to be an entertaining talk because Manasij believes that boring people is a sin.
