Industry Heads To Inspire Next Gen Leaders At MDI’s Samvaad 2015

MDI’s One Year Full Time Residential MBA (National Management Programme) is all set to host Samvaad 2015. An annual summit at Management Development Institute, in the National Capital region, India, the conclave serves as a platform for the exchange of ideas between industry honchos and future leaders. 

Samvaad’15 will focus on the theme ‘Emerging Leaders of Innovative India’ and will explore the innovations taking place today in the world of business.

The event is being organised by the 28th batch (Class of 2015-16) of the One Year Full Time MBA (National Management Programme) at MDI and will be held at the institute’s Gurgaon campus on 24th October. 

With India witnessing a radical change in the mindset of people towards governance and policies, and increasing despondency among people due to continuous compromise of citizens’ welfare, there is a rising need to address the grassroots’ challenges of development and focus on making the country self-reliant through both – individual and cooperative efforts.

Samvaad’15 was conceptualized as a platform where distinguished luminaries from the fields of politics, business, academia, entertainment, journalism and sports will come together and share the stage with the leaders of tomorrow, engaging them in a dialogue while motivating them to reach out to their paramount potential in pursuit of solutions to the challenges that besiege the world.

This leadership conclave is an attempt by the students to connect with the industry stalwarts and exchange ideas and learn from the experience of the veterans.

Ashwani Lohani, CMD, AirIndia, Dr.Bhaskar Chatterjee, CEO & DG, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs, Sanjeev Mantri, Executive Director, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, Vikas Banga, Vice President, Snapdeal and an active angel investor, Y.S Guleria, SVP, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle and Scooters, D. D. Mishra, Director (HR), ONGC are some of the speakers at the event.

The NMP course, accredited as a Full Time MBA by Association of MBAs, UK, comprises of 96 students. The post-experience MBA is one of the oldest One Year MBA courses in India and commenced at MDI, Gurgaon at the initiative of the Government of India in 1987, long before the concept of a one-year MBA caught on in India.
