You wouldn't believe, but this morning we had biscuits for breakfast!! and this was not all for the morning: arriving to a conference room, we were dazzled by finding our name on our place, as if we were top managers about to discuss the current economic slowdown! cool, isn't it? we had the honour to receive a warm welcome by the president himself, Sir J. Philip. it was followed by a very grateful and kind feedback from our representative Mr. Paolo Brusaferri. we felt really lucky to assist in such a manifestation of mutual gratitude and respect between Indian and Italian spokesmen.
In the end of the inauguration of this unique experience, we enjoyed tea/coffee break (much more tea than coffee...it is more indian-like, don't you think?).
Refreshed and recharged, we were back on track for the first official lesson with the Vice Director, Prof. C P Ravindranathan, who clarified the Indian economic scene in the current global context. During his exposition he was very clear in comparing the most significant aspects of the two faster-growing economies in the world, that are, India and China. It really attracted our whole attention and interest, thanks to the testimony of a professional Indian living the reality of his own country. The lesson gave us inputs for further developments from the prospective of the reports. The scene passed to another professor of XIME, Prof. Dasgupta, who introduced the Indian labour market with all its salient and interesting points. It revealed many aspects we miss, and turned out to be meaningful in the consideration of the Indian economic and social world. After Indian-based-spicy lunch, we sank in the historic development of the Indian education system kept by the Former Secretary of the Ministry of Human Resources of India. In this case, we had the chance to conduct a comparison with our Italian system.
In the conclusion of this starting and amazing day, we were given the possibility to interact face to face with our senior colleagues of the MBA programme in XIME. We "touched" the diversity of which India, and in this case XIME, is well-known: the students come from all around the country presenting us their own language, culture and traditions. In the dialogues we had, we came to know their aspirations and hopes or plans for the future. Indeed, they are not so different from us!
