"Synchrony 2009", IIMA's Annual Alumni Meet

"Synchrony-2009", IIMA's annual Alumni meet is happening on May 9th. We are actively looking for sponsorships. It will simultaneously take place at 8 cities across the world.

Sponsorships start from Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000 and extends upto Rs 150,000. There will be just 2-3 companies sponsoring the event and hence brand visibility and brand recollection will be very high among the audience. There will be 150-200 Alums participating in every city and many senior alums (CEOs/MDs/Sr VPs/Partners) would be coming. Hence its a great opportunity to showcase your product/brand.

Please do get in touch with me ASAP at +91 96502 75308 or rpradeep.kumar@gmail.com for further details.

JK on Schools

"Surely a school is a place where one learns about the totality, the wholeness of life. Academic excellence is absolutely necessary, but a school includes much more than that. It is a place where both the teacher and the taught explore not only the outer world, the world of knowledge, but also their own thinking, their behavior."

-Jiddu Krishnamurti


Read it somewhere and liked it!

I strongly believe schools have just become machines which churn out students ready to join college and eventually the corporate world with absolutely no focus on morals and ethics. Schools have commercialized to such an extent that it just means business, a view we had on colleges 6-8 years back when engineering boomed. If students by any chance get to inculcate good habits and character in the future, its going to be inspite of the school and not because of it.
