This was the inaugural year of 'The Great Indian B School Debate". Our objective with this competition was to engage the top minds in the country to look at issues concerning the management education sector and other important issues plaguing the country and the planet. What we have witnessed over the last 2 weeks is some extremely incisive analysis of various issues by some of the brightest. We have received various emails and messages appreciating the quality on display by the students.

A special thank you to our judges - Ms.Kalpana Pathak and Mr.Prashant Nanda for taking time out from their extremely busy schedules to judge various stages of this competition. We would also acknowledge the positive role played by the Media, Cultural and the Debating Societies of all the buisness schools participating in this competition.

We promise to return next year with a bigger competition and with an opportunity for many other Indian schools to participate.
