About Biz
Czar
The entrepreneurial spirit has
become a cardinal priority not only in India but also globally, and more so in
the second and third world. There is a growing need for disseminating various
issues and evolving a dialogue on a common platform.
Towards this end, St. Francis
Institute of Management & Research (affiliated to Mumbai University and accorded
cognition by AICTE) will be conducting a whirlpool, where the top notch business
and industry professionals would come to ground zero and thrash topics of the
day. The event would provide an excellent forum to aspiring and practising
managers, not only to enlighten themselves, but also to interact with eminent
professionals from diverse sectors.
We are sure, beyond providing
fresh insights, this would also spur seamless think on issues of national and
global concern.
