"The best part of the rural immersion was meeting the women self-help groups in the village. We got to learn a lot from their ethical and transparent practices," said Akash Singhal, student (PGP 2018-19). Another student, Bhini Yadav (PGP 2018-19) added, "As managers, we need to factor in what impact our decisions will have on real people and real lives."
