Wanted to drop a few lines on the fantastic EO University we had last week in Delhi. Who is interested in the entire Flickr-picture-set, here we are. As usually, the EO-team did everything possible to make it a "once in a lifetime experience". We kicked-off on Wednesday late afternoon with a short visit of India's Minister for Commerce Kamal Nath and headed towards the evening with our fellow members who actually met at EO and got married according to the Indian tradition.
After the ceremony around the fire, there was a traditional dance with sticks.
Thursday and Friday were was full with excellent "lectures" and "workshops" like India's Head of Ernst & Young Rajiv Memani , and on Friday evening an unforgettable "James Bond"-Party took plaxe, the best party I have ever been to, in the summer residence of Atul Punj , CEO of Punj Lloyd who had held the keynote that morning.
My personal highlight on Saturday was the speech by Nandan Nilekani, co-founder and CEO (from 2002 to 2007) of Infosys. An amazing "explainer" of complex things, humble to the bone and as a innate property anything but complacent about his or his company's achievements. I wrote a bit more about Nandan's appearance here on the eLAB-Blog.
Sunday night we had another fantastic party in the garden of our host Sunjay Kapoor, the topic was: Bollywood.
Overall an amazing program with smart and funny people to network with. What made me personally happy was sharing my enthusiasm with others, many of them who had come to India for the first time, and observing the ignition of a lot of passion and excitement.
