About the Program

This program has been designed for faculty from business, foreign languages, and international studies to provide the participants an in-depth understanding and insights into various aspects of life and business in an emerging country. India is the fourth largest economy in the world. With one billion people and a growing economy, it is a potentially huge market and is likely to emerge as a significant player in the next ten years on the world scene.

The program comprises lectures, discussion sessions, visits to companies, and opportunities to interact with management faculty and students. The speakers will be drawn from business, government, mass media, and academics.

A trip to the Taj Mahal and a sightseeing tour of Delhi are included in the program.

This program is an eye-opening experience illustrating how a poor country with a huge population, many different languages and religions, and the caste system is emerging into the modern world in a democratic way.
