"We don't bear grudges. We actually welcome people, and we want you to know that the US is a great country to be in."

"Americans are nice people. But we get a lot of rap, probably because of me!"

On the Entrepreneurship Centre at the ISB

President Bush reserved some more praise for the Entrepreneurship Centre at the ISB. He said, "It's hard to teach people to be risk takers, and you have professors here who give you the tools to be risk takers."

Earlier, he had told Prof. V Chandrasekar, Executive Director, Wadhwani Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (WCED), "You've got a great thing going!"

Anjali Patel, a student from the ISB Class of 2006 was in the round-table for entrepreneurs addressed by the President. She is the President of the Net Impact Club at the ISB, and told the President that she runs the social enterprise club with a lot of help from the faculty, the Entrepreneurship Centre, and the student body of the ISB. She also talked to the President about "compassionate capitalism" consisting of "providing venture capital funding to small businesses and social entrepreneurs so that they can sustain themselves".
