We at IWSB got our first global exposure when we had entrepreneurs coming from big international companies like oxfam and bayer etc. Thanks to our management for arranging such an enriching session with such industry experts who were like management school in themselves. They were some people who had stood the test of time and had fought back most difficult of situations and came on top. Our group of 9 students got to meet Dr. Azita Owlia- vice president, regional marketing of bayer material science of asia pacific region. She insisted on respecting the diversity of employees in a multinational and we should attach the emotions of people in leadership which would throw open the huge unfolded potential infront of u specially in a diverse country like India. Prof. Subi Rangan of INSEAD of strategy an American Indian guided the guests to show how the human capital is developed in India with the most basic of infrastructure available to them.
I hope they were amazed and it was a great learning for them as well. Those guests were also impressed by the warm welcome they got by the student community. We also made them plant tree saplings at our campus which many of them were doing for the first time in their lives.

It is indeed a great experience for the IWSB students to meet such leading enterpreneurs. When I was a student of IIM Lucknow two decades back, I did not get such an opportunity. We had a number of great academicians, of course, led by Prof. Dayal, but enterpreneurs visiting the campus and spending time with the students, we never had that experience. Let us hope we can organize many such visits. By the way, why dont you write about Mahesh Murthy's session with the students. Prof. Sunil Sangra and I met him for ten minutes and he seemed to be a very knowledgable person
