According to SIBM Bangalore, the connection between the speakers is the two ever-important attributes to succeed in the world of business in today's era, ‘creativity and innovation.’ “SIBM Bangalore, as a management institute, has pledged at producing innovative and creative business leaders to take the India Inc., and the entire nation as a whole, forward. And the program for the young students showcased it in its entirety,” stated the B-School.
