Lectures & addresses
The formal lectures of the Indian liberal tradition — the annual and memorial series where leading economists and public figures take the podium once a year, and the historic addresses recovered from the archive. Distinct from the sit-down interviews and oral histories. Every recording carries a cleaned transcript, an AI summary, and the original video.
