Two years ago, we did a conference in collaboration with NASMEI. In 2004, I had collaborated with them at IIMK for the first time. Now, in 2019, we did the second edition from IIM Indore. Great experience, and met quite a few people from places as far away as Tirunelveli (M. Sundarnar University), PES University Bangalore (my former employer too), Narsee Monjee, Mumbai, and many more places across India.
There were invited speakers from several foreign universities, many U.S. based. We had Dr. Jag Sheth join on video in the Inaugural panel. A few distinguished speakers from XLRI, ISB and other IIMs spoke in special panels. We also had two book launches- mine was one, and Dr. Varsha Jain's was the other. All in all, a good time was had by the participants, and the people involved in conducting it.
Above- a workshop was conducted on Meaningful Research by Satish Nargundkar from Georgia State University. Yes, he is my brother too.
Below, the launch of my book (Marketing Research, 4th edition, McGraw-Hill, 2019) with Sanjay Jain, Manju Ahuja, Phil Zerrillo, Giri Kumar Tayi and Bharat Bhasker. It was nice meeting people who said they used the book while teaching, or had read it before.
and the book itself..
lastly, me, doing my thing.. bringing it to a close.
