Thanks a lot Rush for the very meaningful thread.
Hearty congratulations Aravind! You have done Teambhp and your B School proud.
I think an "A" Grade B school and Teambhp can be a "dressed to kill" combination for automobile companies in the present times.
Till last week, I was in the Management Development Institute,Gurgaon, to attend an in service training and so now I have a first hand insight as to how a B School can groom scholars in management lessons!
