I have been made aware that scammers and fraudsters are using my name, picture and doctored videos to target people online with fraudulent attempts to send money to be invested in non-existent investment schemes or for compensation for investment tips. The examples I’ve seen so far have been in perpetrated in India, but they may be elsewhere too. These are totally fake. Please read below to protect yourself:

I recently gave the “Trust vs. Truth” talk to the Class of 2019 Dakshana Scholars at JNV Bundi (Rajasthan, India) on June 2, 2018. These scholars will take the IIT entrance exams in 2019. The majority are likely to be accepted by the IITs.
We explored the variables Buffett believes are key to success in life (integrity, intelligence, and energy), Marcus Aurelius’ Stoicism and the importance of adversity, and the motivations behind establishing the Dakshana Foundation.
Enjoy!
