We just finished an International Study Trip sharing session within the class yesterday, and we named our sharing documents Incredible Indian. And I feel only this word can express my impression towards our big elephant neighbor. Let me start the Indian trip sharing with our first station: Visit to ISB. 
We officially had a mingle session with about 20 ISB students at night. Apart from that, we also communicated a lot with the students in canteen during breakfast and lunch. The majority students are Indian, including those who were aboard for study or work before MBA application. International students only count for 5%. The most common two topics are personal interests and opinions on certain business or social issues. For example, we communicated their previous working experience and why MBA, why ISB. Of course the answers were not surprising, given we two schools had so many similar characters. When I raised the question why there were so many half destroyed houses along Mumbai’s street with no further follow up construction, a student answered that part of the reason may be the democratic policy which made it complex to pull down buildings and make new construction, because so many parties’ benefits and interests were involved in this reconstruction process. Before you can satisfy all the parties, you can not move on with the construction. A highly integrated and powerful government plays a key role in the country’s infrastructure, which is the foundation of an efficient and quick development. From the conversation with these Indian students, we can sense that they actually know very little about China. Very few of them had experience in working or even traveling in China. The two biggest emerging markets are so close to each other, and they are talking about each other all the time, while at the same time their people knows so little about each other. That is somewhat interesting.
