He added: “World Class Manager has been successfully deployed in the United Kingdom, Mongolia and Turkey.”
Over 700 students from different colleges have participated in the conclave where 50 speakers from a diverse set of industries will be sharing their knowledge and perspectives on the topics such as future of education system, the new age skills for a transforming economy, entrepreneurship, skills gap, leading and building game-changing teams.
