Speaker

Mansoor Khan

Film Director

An alumnus of IIT Mumbai, Cornell University, and M.I.T, Boston, Mansoor Khan began his career as a film-maker and went on to make feature films that won several national awards.

In 2003, he moved to Coonoor, to realize his life’s aspiration of starting a self-supporting, organic farm. Spread over 22 acres, the farm, Acres Wild, plays host to those seeking an alternative life-style experience. 

‘The Third Curve – The End of Growth as we know it’ is the outcome of Mansoor’s own journey, an extensively researched piece of work that examines the co-relation between the compulsions of economic growth and the limits imposed on us by Nature. Questioning the efficacy of the modern industrial world, The Third Curve unfolds truths that civilization might perforce have to accept not merely as a possibility but as a way of life. 

Mansoor has delivered lectures on various aspects of The Third Curve at institutions like the CEO Club, Bangalore; Indian School of Business, Hyderabad; Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore; The Energy & Resource Institute, New Delhi; and The Foreign Services Institute, New Delhi. The Third Curve is part one of a trilogy that includes a second work of non-fiction which examines the pathogenic nature of civilization. The trilogy culminates into a fictional novel that shares this understanding with a wider audience.
