ThoughtWorks Banyan Tree Series Pune: Arun Bhatia

[Saager Mhatre]

ThoughtWorks Pune is proud to have Arun Bhatia over at our office on 5th March to speak to us about the current political scenario and how the educated youth can make a difference.

Arun Bhatia, ex-Commissioner of PMC and independent Lok Sabha candidate from Pune during the 2004 elections, is now gearing up to contest the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. Bhatia's biography reads like, "a three decade long story of attempting to enforce honesty in a corrupt third world bureaucracy." According to him, "the real enemy [is] the establishment in India." Between frequent transfers, numerous charges and enquiries, he has consistently demonstrated how one person with enough will can enforce honesty even in a political system such as ours.

So join me at 6:00 PM on Thursday, 5th March at the ThoughtWorks Pune Office, Tower C, Panchshil Tech Park, Yerawada, Pune 411 006.

On behalf of the ThoughtWorks Pune Office
