We had expected about 150-160 alumni at the Delhi meet held at the Le Meridien, Janpath. We had 210 instead! And a few corporates, because it was a recruiter meet too. In other words, a great big celebration of relationships with alumni and corporates. Very encouraging. Warm feelings all around, conversations that went on into the night (or was it early morning?) and promises to continue on the mail and at the Nagpur meet called Melange in October.
We are now gearing up for the Mumbai get-together on June 3rd, and we expect it to be another blockbuster in the land of Bollywood. That will be followed by another at Bangalore on 11th. We are also pondering a value-add for alumni at the Nagpur Centre meet where we will have round-tables on Marketing, Finance and Entrepreneurship to cull some learnings from the varied experiences of alumni and faculty.
A business school has to do much more than just teach the students during the 2 years of the MBA program if it has to make a mark. Students, faculty, alumni, and promoters need to have a common understanding of what the brand stands for and work hard at realising its potential.
Some snaps from the weekly market at Mangalwari, Nagpur alongside.
