The Foundation Day will be held on October 28 when Prof. Rishikesh T. Krishnan, Director, IIMB, will deliver the Foundation Day address and American economist Rebecca Henderson from Harvard Business School will deliver the Foundation Day Lecture on ‘Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire’. An Alumni Leadership Conclave on Corporate Excellence will also be held the same day.
The four-day includes several other programmes, including a business quiz, a classical music concert by noted classical vocalist Manasi Prasad, a 100-children orchestra and a play ‘Gagan Damama Bajyo’ by Piyush Mishra.
