More than 300 Business Plans. It was just 60 last year. A totally exciting day it is today. I am just writing this as its happening right in front of me at the Auditorium in ISB. Its the Inaugral Function of the TiE-ISB. The Chief Minister of AP, The Defence Minister for State, Consul General of the US Consulate, Ramalinga Raju of Satyam - they are all here.
The media is here. I can see that there is enough chaos. The Minister's security staff is here. They are using all their powers to control the media's funny activities. For me, its very exciting because I am seeing all this after a very long time.
The Dean is giving a quick speech about the school. By far, the best pitch I have heard about the school. In a place where the best of the minds of various industries converge for three days, I think its essential that the ISB makes the best out this forum.
The Defence minister of State holds an MBA from the Temple University. He belongs to that elite list of educated politicians. I am also quite surprised with his diction. Its quite awesome for a politician of Indian origin. The minister and his team are very enthusiastic about this event happening again at ISB. The prepared speech reminds me of a few things that we came across in global economics and what we've been discussing in a course this term about human development.
The mementos were given by the Chief Minister to all the panelists and track leaders.
The Chief Minister is on to speak next. The CM was a medical officer in the navy. He was here last year and this event has been very close to his heart - in terms of developing entrepreneurs in 9 different sectors for Andhra Pradesh.
The buzz is partly over and that's mainly because the CM has left.
