Author, Boombustology Vikram Mansharamani Author, Boombustology Dr. Vikram Mansharamani is a global trend-watcher and expert on how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot emerging opportunities. He first gained widespread attention with his book Boombustology: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst , which established his ability to predict market shifts. Since then, he has helped corporate leaders and investors navigate today's radical uncertainty by looking at the world through a unique lens. His strategies provide crucial insights into a range of topics, including China, food security, the global economy, Africa, housing, financial cycles, energy, and more. Recognized for his unparalleled expertise, LinkedIn named Vikram one of their Top Voices for Money, Global Economics, and Finance in 2015 and 2016. Worth magazine listed him among the "Power 100" in 2017, ranking him as one of the 100 most powerful people in global finance. Vikram’s core belief is that the future doesn’t need to be a surprise. By regularly stepping outside of our areas of expertise and adopting a generalist’s mindset, we can better anticipate change. While specialists often focus narrowly on their area of expertise, generalists look at the world through multiple lenses, seeking to connect seemingly disparate dots. By doing so, they often draw conclusions and make decisions that are far more innovative and insightful. Vikram teaches his audiences how to adopt this mindset to identify opportunities and reduce risks in business. From 2009 to 2017, Vikram was a Lecturer at Yale University, where he taught popular courses such as Financial Booms and Busts, Economic Inequality, and Adventures in Business Ethics. He now teaches Humanity and Its Challenges at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on navigating complex uncertainties and understanding the risks that drive global markets. In addition to his academic work, Vikram is a seasoned global equity investor with over 20 years of experience in both public and private markets. He previously served as Managing Director of SDK Capital and currently manages the Kelan Global Opportunities Fund, a global thematic investment partnership founded on his generalist approach to market insights. Vikram’s analysis has been featured in prominent media outlets including PBS Newshour, Bloomberg, MarketWatch, CNBC, Forbes, Fortune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and many others. He also contributed the summary chapter to A Force for Good (2015), synthesizing lessons on the role of finance and capitalism in today’s interconnected and unequal world. A sought-after speaker, Vikram regularly presents to diverse audiences across industries, from sovereign wealth funds and family offices to endowments and foundations. His thought leadership on global trends, risk, and opportunity continues to resonate particularly within the investment community, where his insights help guide large-scale capital allocation decisions. As a consultant, Vikram helps clients analyze the business impact of global trends, with a focus on identifying economic, political, and social risks that could disrupt markets. He also leads executive education seminars, teaching senior leaders how to integrate complex, sometimes contradictory, information into actionable strategies. Vikram holds a Ph.D. and MS from the Sloan School of Management at MIT, an MS in Political Science from MIT, and a BA from Yale University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He lives in Lexington, MA with his wife, daughter, son, two cats, and a golden retriever.
