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.

And we're off!

Hari Om!

The GLOBASE India team is excited to depart from Indianapolis Airport today for Delhi, India! Today marks the beginning of the 2nd phase of our consulting projects - the in-country exploration. After arriving in Delhi after ~ 20 hours of airplane travel, we will stay the night in Delhi and leave for Sidhbari on Monday, March 7. Once in Sidhbari, we will be greeted by the wonderful people of CORD who have been working with us throughout the last seven weeks. The remainder of the week will be used to focus on our project work and finalize our recommendations. After our presentations on Saturday, March 12, we will have the opportunity to explore the beauty of India - by hiking in the Himalayas, exploring Old and New Delhi, and visiting the Taj Majal and Red Fort.

I can't wait to get started! Check back here to get the current update on our travels!

Until then, check out this great article on GLOBASE India.
