The TIP India convening was held at the Goa Institute of Management on Friday and Saturday.
The objectives of the programme are to develop a pilot set of classroom tools that meet the standards of the top business schools in India, actively involve business executives from Human Resources or Leadership Development and share tools with select education institutions throughout India.
“India’s vibrant markets and intellectual capacity are paving the way for unprecedented economic opportunity. But this opportunity is fragile. Without a strong pool of managerial talent India will struggle to maintain its growth and to strengthen the social and environmental conditions that are critical to a robust business environment over the long term,” said an official spokesperson.
Indian businesses report that too many of today’s graduates are not prepared to consider how decisions they make on the job will affect India’s environment or its local communities. TIP-India is designed to tackle this challenge, the spokesperson added.
In 2007 TIP - India, jointly developed with the Confederation of Indian Industry, kicked off with India’s top business schools and leading businesses including Goldman Sachs, Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, Mahindra, Tata, L&T, Dempo, Zuari Industries, Salgaocars and Sesa Goa.
By 2010 TIP – India expects to have delivered their first set of curriculum and will distribute them free of charge to higher educational institutions across India. |
