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.

Visit to Old Delhi



We checked out places to see in Old Delhi today. We first went to the Gates of India and Embassy Row. Monkeys were playing at the Gates and overturning pots to have at the roots of flowers. I am sure they were the gardener's nightmare.

We then went on to the Red Fort, built by a mogul and originally connected underground to the Taj Mahal some 250 KM away. It was a very impressive building, but even more so were the markets surrounding it. The old city is filled to the brim with people interacting in markets selling everything. Chickens are sold and butchered in the open market along with goats and other animals. Jim and I learned that our Globase students will need to be accompanied by a guide and one of us. One Professor even indicated that students should stay on the bus or in the car in this section.

VERY INTERESTING TRIP!!!
