We go to India to understand firsthand the importance of this burgeoning economy to the rest of the world from a geopolitical, economic, cultural and environmental standpoint. India is a global power in the making, if it manages to achieve anywhere near its full potential over the next few years. The country is also a place of stark contrasts, often positioned side by side: abject poverty next to western luxury and sophistication; global corporations (both Indian and foreign) next to grass roots entrepreneurship. During our 10 days in India, we expose our EMBAs to as many of these contrasts as possible, meeting an array of people from all walks of life – advertising gurus, philanthropists, big business moguls, slum dwellers, serial entrepreneurs, eminent Indian philosophers, not to mention daily interactions with the Mumbaikars we meet on the street.
