Ensuring that you stay ahead
Welcome to the August 2008 issue of IBSAF World. It has been an eventful year so far. Starting from the uncanny raise of the inflation at 11.5% to the Indian students being rated as the best among the world by the Oxford University, we have seen almost all the ups and downs by now. And imagine, the year is still young! Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that it will remain as eventful as this, maybe with lesser doses of bad’s and more doses of good’s.
At IBSAF, we are also busy achieving are our goals. We aim to provide current and topical news stories about the members of the alumni community and the B-School from a range of sources, including contributions from you, the members of this community. It is also heartening to see our members are steadily making inroads into the decision making zone of national economy. We are indeed proud of you all. Your continued success gives us the needed boost to become the numero uno alumni community.
