NYU Stern Hosts Inaugural India Business Forum in Mumbai on January 11, 2013


NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--

On January 11, 2013, New York University Stern School of Business will convene its faculty thought leaders and some of India's top corporate leaders and policymakers for a full-day event entitled, "India in the 21st Century: From Potential to Progress." The participants will investigate the unique opportunities and challenges facing India, an emerging market leader and driving force in the global economy.

The conference will include sessions on the future of India's urban growth, valuation in the Indian context, the impact of corporate governance and building India's infrastructure.

"We are driving the conversation around the world about the most pressing issues that will affect growth in the 21st century. How India conducts business, serves its citizens and interacts with the world is a critical part of this global conversation," said Geeta Menon, dean of NYU Stern's Undergraduate College, and conference host. Dean Menon is among the first women deans of a top-ranked business school who is Indian-born and was educated mostly in India.

NYU Stern has meaningful connections with India. More than 300 Stern alumni live or work in India. At the Stern School, nearly 100 percent of Undergraduate College business students have at least one global academic experience, and among their options for global study is a short-term immersion course, Stern Around the World: India, which includes an academic trip to Mumbai. Stern also offers a Doing Business in… graduate-level course in India in which MBA students study its business and culture in the country. According to the College Board, in India, NYU is the 5th most searched university online. Stern's inaugural India Business Forum aims to deepen ties by convening faculty, alumni, students, and the Indian business and policy community to discuss India's role in 21st century global economic growth.
