Greetings from Ann Arbor!

It is our pleasure to invite you to the India Business Conference (IBC) 2011 at the University of Michigan hosted by the Stephen M. Ross School of Business.

IBC 2011 provides a forum for leaders in business, politics and academia to engage in spirited debate with each other, students and the media about the many changes that have impacted India, both domestically and internationally. This year’s theme, Dissolving the Boundaries, is an exploratory dialogue on India’s rapid ascent as both a socio-political and economic force in the international arena.

We are pleased to announce that this year we expect more than 400  business professionals, students, faculty members, policy leaders (including the Indian ambassador to the US!), and organizations interested in India to attend the conference.

IBC 2011 is  an opportunity for the University of Michigan community to get the real answers from business leaders on the tough questions. How can ethical leadership and corporate social responsibility impact India’s long-term economic productivity? What is India’s competitive advantage and has it truly capitalized upon it? How can the country maintain and build upon its core competency to ensure that the rate of growth continues?  Our panelists and thought leaders possess years of experience that will not only help them answer your hardest questions, but also show how gaining a deeper understanding of India will benefit and impact you.

We welcome you to join us for a day of valuable networking and thought provoking discussions on doing business in India and with India.

Looking forward to meeting with all of you in Ann Arbor on October 7-8, 2011.
