Mindmine Summit 2010
The
Annual Conference of the
Hero Mindmine Institute
|
|
After four very
successful summits which
were widely covered by the
media, the Fifth Edition
of the Summit will be held
at Hotel ITC Maurya on
March 11 and 12, 2010.
Last year’s theme,
“Challenges of Troubled
Times: Opportunities and
Threats” focused on the
global economic crisis
from different
perspectives. Last year’s
summit was held against a
backdrop of tumult. This
year’s event is being held
in an environment of hope
and renewal.
Appropriately, our theme
this year is titled:
“2010: Is This India’s
Defining Moment?”
|
|
In the first decade of
the new millennium, India
underwent cataclysmic
changes and remarkable
progress. Will the second
decade go the same way as
the first? Or will India’s
evolution take a
completely different turn?
Is this India’s defining
moment in terms of
economic development,
reach & quality of
education, security, next
phase of administrative
reforms etc
|
|
Over the course of the
Fifth Mindmine Summit,
panelists will seek to
answer these questions or
raise some issues in a
myriad of ways. This year,
we not only plan to deep
scan the process of
recovery that has set in
around the world, we
intend to crystal gaze
into the new decade, and
see what it holds for
India, Indians and Indian
businesses.In our 2009
edition, we opted for a
more interactive format
for our plenary sessions
and panel discussions.
This went down very well
with our audience, and we
hope to continue this
approach this time as well
|
|
Participants will have an
opportunity to take part
in a diverse and
interactive meet. Besides
plenary sessions that will
feature a galaxy of
business leaders and
policy makers, the 2010
edition will have unique
Mindmine Exchanges with
youth icons, opinion
makers and diverse
stakeholders from across
the country. The summit
will climax with a
riveting and heated debate
|
|
Given Hero Mindmine’s
profile and stature as one
of India’s largest
learning and training
organizations, the Summit
will also feature the
Fifth edition of the BML
Munjal Awards for
Excellence in Learning and
Development. The awards
will look at companies
that have consistently
leveraged training and
learning for competitive
advantage. The winners
will be selected by a top
flight independent jury
made up of some of India’s
most respected names in
the corporate sector and
will be chaired by Mr.
Deepak Parekh, Chairman,
HDFC.
