Just a thought...

Hello Shantanu,

Its indeed true what you have mentioned in your article. However, I think this is related mainly to schools where you dont ahve foreign students. I have exceptional respect and regard for the IIMs. However, admitting only Indian students (or mostly indian students), it doesnt open up to other cultures. This is one of the main reasons y IIMs dont get a good ranking (though they r considered a good school abroad).
In a good American or european biz school, you r likely to meet people from China or brazil or other countries. your faculty tends to be from various nationalities and hence the cross culture exchanges are very high. People tend to think in terms of "how do I run the same biz in India/China/France etc..."
Even the points like a few days in a village is being practised by some schools to get an insight.
But I truly feel its high time indian school starts doing things like these and be ahead of the times!
Please dont get me wrong for my opinions, these are things I experienced myself.
Regards
