Where: The Fuqua School of Business, Duke University.
Why: The first Duke India Business Forum, organized by INDUS – The South Asian Business Club, will be held on March 22, 2009 at The Fuqua School of Business, Duke University (Durham, NC).
Nearly two decades of structural economic reforms have firmly placed India on the growth expressway, re-integrating it with the global economy. The India of the past invented the numeral "zero", pioneered global trade routes, and created the first true global university among other things. Today’s India, the world’s second fastest growing economy, is using disruptive innovation to create a place for itself in a global economy – be it the global sourcing and delivery model or the $2500 passenger car. The Duke India Business Forum aims to explore this re-discovery of India’s global stature.
The event will consist of a series of keynote addresses delivered by prominent business leaders addressing a wide range of issues, including Marketing, Health Care, Sustainability and Technology. We have a very interesting lineup of speakers, including:
• Ms. Sandy Carter, Vice President (SOA, BPM & WebSphere Strategy, Channels and Marketing), IBM
• Mr. Deepak Advani, Vice President (Cross-IBM Information Management Offering), IBM
• Mr. Vish Mishra, Venture Director, Clearstone Venture Partners
• Mr. Parag Saigaonkar, Regional Managing Director, Deloitte
• Ms. Purnima Kochikar, Director (Strategy & Business Development) Nokia
• Ms. Shikha Sharma, Managing Director & CEO, ICICI Prudential
• Mr. Badri Srinivasan, Practice Leader (Process Transformation), Quintiles
