The Indian School of Business (ISB) hosted the President of the United
States Mr George W Bush on March 3, 2006, amidst the presence of
the students, faculty and management of the School. Dr Condoleezza
Rice,Secretary of State, Mr David C Mulford, Ambassador to India, Mr
David T Hopper, the Consul General from Chennai, and a few other
officials visited the ISB along with the President.
Rajat
Gupta, Chairman of the ISB (Past Managing Director of Mckinsey and
Senior Partner Worldwide), received the President along with Professor M
Rammohan Rao, Dean, ISB. In an exclusive meeting, the Chairman and the
Dean briefed the President about the history of the ISB, and the
remarkable progress that the school has made since the five years of its
establishment.
We
are delighted that President Bush has chosen a premier management
institution like the ISB for his visit. This is indeed a prestigious
event for us, said Rajat Gupta.
The
ISB has emerged as a world-class business management institution within
a short span of time. We have highlighted the success of our one year
post graduate management programme to the President. We took the
opportunity to emphasise our focus on entrepreneurship and cutting-edge
research, especially relevant to emerging economies, said Dean
Rammohan Rao.
The
President addressed the students and spent some time interacting with a
roundtable of a group of entrepreneurs. Anjali Patel a student from the
ISB Class of 2006 was a participant in the roundtable. To be chosen
for a one-on-one interaction with President Bush is a great opportunity
for me, she said. Anjali is involved with social entrepreneurship
projects, and is the President of the Net Impact Club at the ISB.
President
Bush was visibly impressed by the ISB campus, and with the ISB students.
Two other ISB students from the Class of 2006, Rajesh Mani and Ruchi
Bansal, had earlier greeted President Bush on his arrival. The President
also interacted with other faculty, students, and members of the ISB
community.
