Nine alumni from the 23rd batch shall captivate the audience with brief idea talks, along the lines of the famous TED talks. The purpose of the forum is to initiate discussion between alumni and students on some of the most captivating ideas on topics ranging from business management to personal passions.
The members of the 23rd batch have a mixed-bag of profile, which include leaders from top banks, big corporate houses, consulting firms and non profit organizations. To showcase the multifaceted profile, the visiting batch includes professors at world renowned universities, Corporate CEOs and officers in the government.
