Re: IIMs going abroad

Hi! All

I agree totally with earlier opinions on this topic.
India really needs good managers as the country grows
fast. Earlier generations concentrated on pure tech
jobs rather than creating businesses. As Chandu
suggested,We should have good Management Institutes in
every district head quarters. Once our economy grows,
we will see those kind of changes.
Stanford/Harward/MIT having Billions of dollars
Endowment Money and that is keep growing. If they also
come to our country, it will be useful for the local
Institutes to learn from them.

thanks
