Satyajit Das (born 1957) is an Australian former banker and corporate treasurer, turned consultant, author and academic.
Satyajit Das was born in Calcutta in 1957.
His family emigrated to Australia when he was 12.
Das received bachelor's degrees in Commerce and Law from the University of New South Wales followed by an MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management.
From 1977 to 1987, Das worked in banking with the Commonwealth Bank, CitiGroup and Merrill Lynch. From 1988 to 1994, Das was Treasurer of the TNT Transport Group.
Das is the author of Traders, Guns & Money and Extreme Money and reference books on derivatives and risk-management. He lives in Sydney, Australia.
Extreme Money was long-listed for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.The Economist reviewed the book, stating that "Satyajit Das is well-placed to comment, having worked both for investment banks and as a consultant advising clients on their use of complex financial products", however, "the book could have easily been 150 pages shorter without losing its thrust."
A Banquet of Consequences was released in Australia in 2015. It was released in the United States in 2016 as The Age of Stagnation to avoid it being confused as a cookbook.
Das is a regular commentator on LNL (Late Night Live) on RN (ABC radio's Radio National), hosted by Phillip Adams.
