Tea Vendor to Ex President

Yesterday witnessed students of FDP at IIMA analyzing the case "The business of RBK-A Role to be Understood", a case written about the business of Rambhai, a very popular identity in the campus, almost every one in this institute knows about him, a poor farmers son from UP who has been making his living running a tea stall and pan-shop outside the red bricked campus since 25 years. Though I am not sure about the contents of the case - I can assure you that you can have something very inspiring or motivating - at least that is what I can decipher from the title.

Tomorrow its going to be Dr. Adbul Kalam, ex-president and one of the best brains the country produced, donning the role of professor teaching a set of students from PGP-PMP programs. He is taking the course titled GRIT - Globalising and Resurgent India through Innovative Transformation, an initiative to get the WIMWI students work on some of the public policies that can benefit the nation.

Just with in a span of two days - we have seen the illustration of the fact that the learning is omni present and we just have to keep our eyes and ears open to grasp the same - it could be from a tea vendor outside the campus or it could come from ex first citizen of the nation. Students should be enthusiastic about learning from everywhere. Wow Such a wonderful place this is !!!
