In an increasingly global economy, international experience for Indiana University MBA candidates comes from hands-on work in the field as much as the classroom. A group of students, led by Professor Jim Wahlen and MBA Program Director Pam Roberts, travel to India to help local entrepreneurs tackle business challenges using cutting edge business practices. The Kelley MBA GLOBASE initiative provides a unique social enterprise experience by partnering with Indian businesses to make a global impact.

Bandara - Monkey



Bandara means monkey in Hindi.
Yesterday we were at CORD which is situated next to an Ashram. We went to the temple in the morning and while there encountered monkeys. At first we saw the monkeys crossing the road to take a shot at getting food in nearby apartments - a type of break and enter. Then we saw them playing on a statue of the Hindi god - Hanuman. I tried to take photos and finally got a good one of a large monkey in a tree. He became incensed following the photo and began to give chase to Jim and me, first shaking the tree he was in vigorously as a warning. He then pursued us from the trees and roof tops banging loudly as he went. It was very exciting as he followed a good distance and was quite aggressive. New learning - monkeys are ill-tempered with bad manners.
