    Top-Ranked Business School on Entrepreneurial Immersion trip to India

    This is the first time this program is being conducted in India, and is designed to educate participants about the Indian marketplace, and help them form partnerships with the local business community. The entrepreneurial immersion program will be held in Mumbai on October 24 and 25, and included visits to New Delhi and Bangalore.

    "India is one of the world’s fastest growing economies and this immersion trip is providing valuable experiential education and networking opportunities for our participants,” said Linda Darragh, Director of Entrepreneurship Programs at Chicago GSB. “Chicago GSB has a tradition of developing leaders who create lasting value in the global economy, and this trip is bringing together alumni from India and other parts of the world with the larger business community to facilitate meaningful partnerships.”

    The Chicago GSB delegation includes successful entrepreneurs, partners from private equity/investment firms, senior management from corporations, and several faculty and staff members. In addition, the immersion trip will engage more than 100 India-based GSB alumni as well as others in the local business community.

    In Mumbai, Chicago GSB will host a Global Private Equity Conference on October 24 at Taj Mahal Palace and Towers, along with alumnus Luis Miranda, President and CEO of IDFC Private Equity Co. The conference will provide a global comparison of private equity with industry leaders in the U.S., Japan, and China. In addition, participants will listen to alumnus Jerry Rao, former CEO and Founder of Mphasis talk about his entrepreneurial journey, and explore family business, Bollywood economics, the financial sector, and marketing to the Indian consumer.

    “India has become one of the hottest investment stories on the planet and it is already the leading private destination in Asia. The entrepreneurial immersion trip allows GSB alumni and other participants to get a ringside view of the changes that are taking place in India,” said Miranda, who is also the Chairman of the Asia Cabinet of the Chicago GSB Advisory Board.

    Chicago GSB is one of the oldest and largest business schools in the world. The school’s faculty includes many renowned scholars and its graduates include many business leaders across the U.S. and worldwide. Key faculty and alumni from India, in addition to those listed above, include: Raghuram Rajan, Professor of Finance; Sanjay Dhar Professor of

    Marketing; and GSB Global Advisory Board member Mohandas Pai, Director of Infosys.
