An evening with Wharton Professors of Management Dr. Harbir Singh, Jitendra Singh and Mike Useem

Since the liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991, Indian firms have shown substantial growth and innovation. After the initial success of the information services firms was noted the world over, innovation in other industries began to receive attention as well. Dr. Harbir Singh and Dr. Mike Useem discuss how they and colleagues, through interviews with more than 100 of India's most visible business leaders, have identified a unique combination of features of modern Indian management that they call "The India Way." Learn what insights they gathered from the leaders of companies such as Wipro, Tata Consultancy, Hindustan-Unilver and Infosys. Come. Be part of the conversation.
