Rama puts across his worldview: 

I believe that the globalisation of the Indian economy has also brought great opportunities for the social and economic advancement of the low income and poor sections of India. I believe that the market system, based on business enterprise and profit is the only means in today’s world, for the efficient taking up of society’s economic functions. I also firmly believe in public policy, knowing that ultimately underlying the market and profit governed society is a set of normative values and choices. I have also tried, through many years, to understand the meaning, incidence, causes and solutions for poverty and disempowerment in India, in Calcutta, and West Bengal, in other specific parts of India, other parts of the world, and also internationally.
