Zell organised a Round Table on Fintech Education and ESG, in a Delhi Aerocity hotel on Sept. 25th, 2024, and I was one of the invitees. Deloitte was a partner, and Zell is doing a program along with Deloitte for colleges now, where they will teach a few courses as part of a certification, soon.
Anyway, Suresh Prabhu, ex-CA and ex-minister, addressed the gathering too. He quipped that we make Finance subjects tough so that the Deloittes of the world, or KPMGs of the world, can flourish! Also another highlight was Salman from Zerodha who talked about not scaling up their manpower, and putting customers first- a rarity now, in spite of the many years of talking about customers' importance to businesses.
All in all, an interesting event. We discussed how industry intervention in classrooms may or may not help in the long run. A highlight for me was meeting two people. One, the ex-director of KIAMS Harihar, Dr. Biswal, and Dr. Taruna Gautam, VC of IILM University, Greater NOIDA, who was next to me at the table. She was kind enough to tell me that she had used and recommended my Marketing Research book when she taught Research Methods. That made my day!
