Consulting Club : BCG Session

ISB alums who are currently working in Boston Consulting Group had visited the campus as part of an event conducted by the consulting club. In conjunction with this, we had a session from these alums as well as an interactive discussion regarding the Internal Consulting (ICON) projects that our batch will soon start working on.

This session was attended by Ashish Iyer (Partner and Director BCG),  Navneet Vasishth (Principal) along with three ISB alums, Akshit Shah (batch of 2007), Ankush Wadhera (batch of 2008) and Kanu Julka (batch of 2009). After a brief introduction of BCG and its values by Navneet, Ashish took charge of the session.

Ashish went on to discuss the causes and effect of the current economic crisis. He delved into the details of sub-prime lending and Credit Default Swaps (CDS). This led to a very interesting discussion with the audience on the underlying reasons for the crisis and how long the recovery will take. Ashish concluded the session with a discussion of the expected effects of this crisis on Indian economy.

This was followed by a separate session between the alums and the ICON (Internal Consulting Project) teams.  The ICON teams utilized this opportunity to clarify their doubts and to get some good ideas on how to approach their respective projects.
