Confluence 2005 Opens to Spectacular Response at IIM Ahmedabad
IIMA's International Management Summit - Confluence - got off to a rollicking start yesterday evening that has set the pace for the entire event. Conceptualized with the tagline "Where ideas converge", this mega-event is truly living up to its ideals with over 600 Indian and International participants descending on campus for the 4-day event.
Shri Subir Raha, Chairman & MD, ONGC was the Chief Guest at the inauguration ceremony. The inaugural address also included speeches by Shri Suresh Prabhu (Hon. MP) and Dr. J. J. Irani (Director, TATA Sons). None of them requires introduction. While two are doyens of the industry, already living legends, the third is one of the country's most promising young politicians and his work as Ex-Power Minister has made people refer to him as the country's best ever power minister. The students attending in the auditorium and outside (the interest among students was so great that the hall capacity was overshot very quickly!) could not have asked for a more inspirational panel of speakers. Starting things off, the Confluence Secretary Pradyumna Agrawal put things in perspective by outlining the driving motives for holding this mega-event. They are: -
It is these objectives, which have inspired the Confluence Team at IIMA to deliver, since Confluence is not simply a business festival or competition, but an international management summit attempting to throw up real solutions not only for India, but for the world stage. Contributed by - |
