Video project: Narayan the Purdue Alum
I looked up an alumni from Purdue in the Alumni association business directory I got back at Purdue and found Narayan Sethuramon the Managing Director of W.S. Industries (India) LTD. They manufactures porcelean high-voltage insulators in Chennai. He was from Krannert's 1 year MBA program in '94.
We auto-rickshaw'ed over to the Park Sheraton 5-star hotel for breakfast today. And what a great breakfast it was. Narayan and Jillian and I chatted for an hour about India's economy, social issues, strengths and children. Because the resturant (called a 'hotel' in India) was busy, we didn't film the interview.
Then I realized I don't have to go to India to meet and converse with interesting people about society, economics, business, children, and life. I can look up people I read about or admire when I'm back at home and arrange meetings to exchange ideas.
