The first day of the term break and I was again crunched for time. The morning started off quite peacefully the Net Impact Club meeting for the CSR conclave that we are planning to conduct in november.
By the time we finished discussions on what needs to be done, it was time to attend a speaker series organized by the Healthcare Club. The CFO of Novartis Pharma was on campus. Yes, it was the CFO of Novartis Pharma worldwide. From his first words, I could guess that he was British. After introducing us to the company and its working, Mr.Peacock went on to answer a number of questions that were very critical to the company's operations in India and other developing countries.
The next speaker for the day was the Chief Competitive Officer from Microsoft - Radhesh Balakrishnan. A excellent speaker, he made sure that we were involved in his talk and prompted us to ask a lot of questions. The primary focus was on how marketing works in microsoft, the different roles played by various people and the competition in the current Indian market and the microsoft has given to the Indian economy. junta asked lot of questions about google, piracy and pricing - all these questions were handled with a lot of depth into the strategy that microsoft was adopting.
