The February 27, round table meet comes exactly three months after the great success of 3rd MBAUniverse.com Directors’ Roundtable Conference based on the theme ‘Conquering the Chaos: Preparing globally relevant MBAs’ which was hosted by Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore on November 27, 2013. A total of 75 Directors and Deans from different B Schools of South India had participated in the forum. In the 3rd MBAUniverse.com Round table conference Mr Ravi Venkatesan, Director on the Boards of Infosys and AB Volvo delivered the keynote address while the special address was addressed by Dr S Raghunath, Dean (Admin) and Professor of Corporate Strategy at Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore. Delivering the keynote address Mr Ravi Venkatesan had said that, “Most MNCs get trapped into the midway trap. They are unable to create required volumes by just serving the top end of the customer, and they find the bottom of the pyramid to be too price-sensitive. This is true of B-schools. Most of them get trapped into the middle of the pyramid, unable to define their value proposition clearly. They need to make strategic choices to move up the pyramid.”

MBAUniverse.com Director’s Roundtable Conference has been attracting well known speakers earlier also. In 2011-12 and 2012-13 conferences Ms Vinita Bali, former MD, Britannia Industries; Mr Subrato Bagchi, Co-founder, MindTree; Mr D Shivakumar, CEO, Nokia; Dr. Sylvia Ann Hewlett, Ranked #11 on the Thinker’s 50 World’s Top Business Thinkers; Mr Manish Sabharwal, Chairman, TeamLease Services; Mr Abhijit Bhaduri, CLO, WIPRO Group and others participated in the event.
