Theme:
Reaching Out... Staying Ahead
The theme chosen for Intaglio
2007-08 is "Reaching Out... Staying Ahead". Boundaries and limits are set only
by the ability to dream, and the new era calls for an exploration beyond these
old mental blocks, to reach out and uncover new avenues.
Survival, Sustenance, and Success, in that order, no longer mean clich�d price
wars and senseless competition. Instead, it means moving a step further, or
several in fact, by forging strategic alliances with potential partners across
the globe in pursuit of the ultimate goal of market leadership. It is this
yearning to reach out to the future, the courage to experiment and the urge to
stay ahead that Intaglio 2007-08 stands for.
Knowledge
Partnership with India Business Forum of London Business School
This year, Intaglio is set to get
bigger, with Knowledge Partnerships being planned with counterparts from the Ivy
League and the best business schools across continents. The India Business
Forum of the London Business School, a forum for Global Business
Leaders, Leading Academicians, Financiers, Entrepreneurs and Students has
confirmed that it will jointly work with Intaglio, thus, making Intaglio a truly
International Meet. More confirmations are expected from other international
schools soon.
