The post-lunch session was made very interesting by Mr. Raj Nair, the Chairman of Avalon Consulting who gave many examples to stress the importance of innovation in business. Finding comfort outside the comfort zone is very essential, and the

companies who have done that have managed to capture markets. The next to share his views was Mr. Deepak Bhavsar, MD, Strategic Consulting & Land Agency Services, JLLM, who spoke about the growth opportunities and challenges facing the Real Estate Sector at this point in time.

The late-afternoon talk was given by Mr. Govind Balan, Principal, Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, who spoke about the impact of regulatory changes on Mobile Telephony. The talk was peppered with data and examples of the Indian Telecom sector and the students were able to relate to it very well. The last talk of the day was delivered by Mr. Prashant Gupta, Partner, McKinsey & Co., who spoke about the implications of the global crisis on India. His main words of advice were to be prepared for each situation and to have all strategies in place to face any challenges that may turn up.

The vote of thanks was delivered by Prof. Dinesh Sharma, the Faculty Coordinator for the Consulting Continuum, who expressed the delight of the students and faculty at having such a series of distinguished practitioners from the industry share their views with the students. All the talks were followed by interactive Q&A sessions and the students made the most of this opportunity to question the stalwarts from the consulting domain.

The event was very successful with avid participation from the Consulting fraternity and it is industry interaction sessions like these which can actually acquaint students about the concerns, challenges and growth opportunities in the industry which they will become a part of shortly.

Concluded.
