The MBA program at ISB has come to a close (congratulations to all the grads!), and it's suddenly time to leave Hyderabad, the beautiful ISB campus, and the many incredible friends we've met here during the past 2.5 months. It's strange to think that in 24 hours, Ty and I will be on to the next phase of our adventure in the region, including exploring northern India, Nepal, and Thailand for several months. It seems that not too long ago, we were sitting in the Fuqua computer lab, trying to construct a way to spend our final semester in India.
As we pack our bags and prepare to leave ISB though, I am feeling extremely grateful for the opportunity to have learned from the students here - about life in India, the similarities and differences between our cultures, and the value of expanding one's boundaries, both literally and figuratively. India seems to me to be a country of much complexity, beauty, pain, and promise, and I hope that I am able to return in the future and be a part of this dynamic place. By attending ISB, I have been able to learn about
one of the most rapidly changing countries in the world
alongside some of its future leaders - the people who will mold India's future in business, politics, healthcare, and social enterprise. It has been an honor to be part of this group.
Thank you to the ISB Class of 2009 for the hospitality and friendship, to the International Center at Fuqua for making the exchange possible, and to the Duke MBAA for hosting this forum for sharing experiences among Fuquans throughout the world.
