Jon Spector, vice-dean of the Executive Education programme at Wharton, said, "Combining both schools' networks and knowledge is a win-win proposition for them as well as the Wharton Fellows programme."
"The India Master Class programme will help participants gain deep knowledge of India as an important emerging market and sourcing destination," Shyam Viswanathan, associate dean of the Executive Education programme at the ISB said.
The executives will be visiting India from March 6-9 and the programme will open with an overview of the Indian cultural, political and industrial scenario. The programme will have speakers such as N Srinivasan, director general of the Confederation of Indian Industry, KV Kamath of ICICI Bank, Kiran Karnik of National Association of Software and Services Companies and Prabhu Chawla of the India Today Group.
