4 From the Group Director's Desk Market volatility, rapid innovations, and geopolitical strife are fuelling a demand for business professionals who can think globally and compete strategically. The latest case in point being the demonetisation by the Government. The competitive realities of global competition and technological change have dramatically raised the bar on what takes to create and maintain a competitive advantage. Navigating today's complex business world requires vision, confidence and strategies that give tangible business results. At WeSchool, our efforts have been towards nurturing our students not just as managers but as global citizen leaders; who look beyond themselves and contribute towards their organization & society as well. To this end, WeSchool has introduced the Global Citizen Leader program (GCL) in collaboration with Centre for Creative Leadership, USA. This has featured in the Stanford Social Innovation Review in February 2014 in the article titled Educating a New Generation of Entrepreneurial Leaders. Leadership, Innovation & Design thinking are part of WeSchool's philosophical framework. Advisory Boards help us continually improve our curriculum and spawn new programs meeting specific needs of emerging markets and businesses. WeSchool's Innovation Board comprises of stalwarts like Dr. R. A. Mashelkar (Chairman, National Innovation Foundation), Mr. Harsh Mariwala (Chairman & Managing Director, Marico), Mr. Kishore Biyani (Group CEO, Future Group), Mr. Rana Kapoor (Founder, Managing Director & CEO, Yes Bank), Mr. Dan Buchner (VP, Peter Lougheed Leadership Institute, The Banff Centre, Canada), Mr. Srini Srinivasan (CEO of LUMIUM and member of prestigious Executive Board of ICSID), and Prof. Dr. Ramesh Raskar (Associate Professor, MIT Media Lab), to name a few. Along with its partners, WeSchool has undertaken several path breaking initiatives like Med4Dev India-Israel Affordable Healthcare Hackathon with Pears Program for Global Innovation, MIT Media Lab-WeSchool Design Innovation Workshop, InterDesign Workshop with International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID), India Sweden Innovation Accelerator (ISIA) -a platform for Swedish companies to work with academia to develop business strategies relevant to Indian markets, ReDx MIT Media Lab's Health Technology Camp took potential high impact ideas/solutions sourced from health researchers & doctors to address critical healthcare issues in India & Kumbhathon in Nashik with MIT and TCS which combines identification of challenges, discussions with stakeholders, prototyping and customer analysis for multiple corporate and entrepreneurial ventures. As part of WeSchool's core value of 'We Link and Care' and keeping in mind our responsibility towards our nation and to give back to the local ecosystem; WeSchool along with partner institutes of Ruia & Podar College have adopted the ' Matunga' railway station. Students' global & rural exposures and opportunity to engage in several projects and initiatives such as D-Magics, GRLI, SIFE, Udaan and Munijan have sensitized them to their role as an individual to make a difference to the organization they would be working for. WeSchool's association with several leading International Universities has ensured student & faculty exchange and internship programs. Over the course of the program, your fellow students become trusted colleagues and in many cases, lifelong friends. I invite you to embark on your path to academic and professional excellence with us at our sprawling campuses in Mumbai and Bengaluru which will truly enhance your intellectual and personal growth. We promise to equip you with inventive techniques and tools which will transform you into Global Citizen Leaders in organizations of today and tomorrow.

During the first three months the students create a project plan, find inspiration, search and define opportunity spaces. In the next three months the students develop solutions, do prototyping and prepare funding pitches. The top projects were then showcased in front of an esteemed panel of jury members. This cutting-edge transformative program provides our students with leadership and innovation knowledge along with an opportunity to learn and practice skills in a real-life context. Our students worked towards developing sustainable solutions to issues were related to Rural, Healthcare, Innovation, Social issues, Human Resources, Urban issues, Infrastructure, Process and Systems & IT and energy.

12 Assessment Centre Process An Assessment Centre (AC) isa method for assessing aptitude and performance; applied to a group of participants by trained assessors using various aptitude diagnostic processes in order to obtain information about applicants' abilities or development potential. The assessment centre focuses on a set of varied exercises, which are designed to simulate different aspects of the work environment. The AC exercises assess how closely your demonstrated behaviours, that are required for the role, match. It s important to understand the terminology that is frequently associated with AC in order to facilitate easier understanding of the process. While the definitions may vary, the table captures the basic concept of each of the terms. Term Competency Behaviour Meaning A group of behaviours related to job success that are specific, observable and verifiable & can be readily and logically classified together. Everything you say or do that can be linked to a competency area. Exercise A simulation or technique designed to elicit behaviours related to performance requirements of the job. Assessor An individual trained to observe, record, classify and make reliable judgment about the behaviours of those being assessed. Job Analysis This determines the competencies, attributes and other requirements for job success in the position being evaluated. Source: Lewis Rowe, Tina; A Preparation Guide for the Assessment centre Method; (2006) Charles C. Thomas Publishers Ltd., Illinios, USA Basically, AC attempts to assess participants on selected competencies and the definition of competency is a group of behaviours related to job success. Therefore, to maximize your learning from the AC it s important to be yourself rather than act in a way you think you are expected to

22 Corporate interface: Rural Roundtable Conference 'Rural Inc. 'AuRuM' - A rural theme based Roundtable conference in partnership with the industry is being organized every year by the core team of Rural management at WeSchool. The latest concept introduced by the Rural team was Rural Inc. which is a virtual organization connecting all stakeholders in the Rural space for mutual benefits.

Under the GCL program which is integrated in the curriculum, students are taken through an intensive research process grounded in Leadership and Innovation to work on projects that have impact on business and society.

52 events Design for Dignity, an exhibition of Swedish design solutions for the differently abled Exhibition celebrates the spirit of the disabled from India and Sweden and shows the wayto creating equal opportunities for the disabled for inclusive growth. The Consulate General of Sweden along with the Swedish Institute hosted the preview of the Swedish design exhibition titled Design for Dignity along with a photo exhibition titled AccessAbilty at WeSchool. Design for Dignity, curated by Ace designer Ms. Margarita Bergfeldt Matiz, showcased 22 diverse innovative Swedish products that included foldable ramps, first generation of prisma pedestrian signals for those with impaired hearing or vision, easy-to-carry shower and toilet chair, a listening system that used digital signal processing technology to filter out background noise and enhance speech, a hassle-free Braille printer for high volumes of braille production,the super-light wheel chair, tetra packs for those with reduced hand functions, cutlery for easy eating, comforters to remain calm and many more. While Design for Dignity highlighted the importance and benefits of being inclusive when developing products for the future, AccessAbilty showcased everyday stories of Swedish and Indian individuals with disability, their hopes, dreams and aspirations. The preview was attended by stakeholders from Sweden and India, researchers, manufacturers, doctors, academia, and representatives from NGOs along with students and faculty from WeSchool. The expert curator of the exhibition, Ms. Margarita Bergfeldt Matiz spoke about the history of Swedish design and the importance of the right for an equal and dignified life for all while introducing a different perspective on the concept of disability. In Sweden we haven t yet fully won the battle for equality for disabled people, and the participants stories say a lot about the Swedish disability policy. Giving everyone a chance to be seen and heard is a step along the way to not seeing people with disabilities as a homogeneous group but as individuals with different needs. The personal stories of this exhibit and the design products on show can hopefully initiate discussions and strengthen cooperation internationally on accessibility, dignity and disability policies. 52

54 It's time we understood the debt of the society. Do not wait for someone to come and change the world. Just see yourself in a mirror and you will find the individual who can change the world. With words coming straight from his heart, Sudhir Mungantiwar, Minister for Finance, Planning and Forests, Government of Maharashtra began his dialogue with the entrants of WeSchool during the Foundation Fortnight. Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, faculty and students of WeSchool listened to every word spoken by the Hon ble Minister in rapt attention. As he congratulated the fresh joinees from the various MBA programs like Business Design, E-Biz, Retail, Healthcare, Rural Management of the batch at WeSchool, Shri. Mungantiwar said, You are indeed very fortunate to have got this opportunity to study in one of leading B schools in the country. Knowledge is the key for betterment of not only oneself but also of the society but the truly knowledgeable one is the one who combines knowledge with imagination. In this era of innovation, that individual will be instrumental in bringing the change in the world. Look within yourself, search within yourself and you will find the change maker. Let us become those change makers that will make this world a better place for everyone to live in. Dedicate yourself to realize the dreams of your parents. Choose the career path as per your capacities and inclinations. Everyone has qualities and limitations but the one that overcomes his limitations and converts them into strengths is the real winner. Be prepared to learn everything but always remember that the knowledge earned is to be used for societal benefit. When you change yourselves, you will step towards changing the nation. Be grateful to all the factors in the society for the advantages that you have got and learn to contribute your might for the upliftment of others. He said. He informed the students, Water and forest cover and other environmental resources are mutually related. In Gadchiroli district, 77% of total geographic area is under forest cover. The same reduces to 58% in Sindhudurg. But in the drought affected Latur, where drinking water had to be supplied by trains, this coverage is only 0.07%. The total forest cover in the State is 20%, ideally, it should be up to 33%. If this increase in forest cover is to be achieved, then there is a need to plant 400 crore trees. The Government has committed to the target of planting 50 crore trees in coming three years. On 1 July, 2016, 2crore trees will be planted all over Maharashtra and this will be just a beginning. For completing this great task of tree plantation, public participation is also required on large scale along with the efforts of the Government. 54

62 Industry Round Tables At WeSchool, our endeavor has always been to provide cutting edge business education. However, the word education always has two sides to it - theory and practice. Strangely though, they seem mutually exclusive. As Albert Einstein has said, In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. This is often the classic disparity any MBA student faces after graduating from the B- School. We understand that today it is very essential to create employable people and that is why we actively facilitate a dialogue with the corporate world to know better what is expected from B-Schools and its graduates today. To engage in 'immersive techniques' and interact with 'people in the thick of action' is integral to the transformative learning pedagogy at WeSchool. Towards achieving this goal, WeSchool has taken some decisive strides and one such initiative being "Confluence: A Constructive Collision Of The Greatest Business Minds - a series of Industry roundtables". These roundtables also provided our students with opportunities ranging in the form of projects, internships and even employment. During this past year, WeSchool organised series of roundtables across diverse industry verticals. Through these roundtables WeSchool brought together over 1000 renowned industry professionals, who shared real-time challenges and some of these are live projects that students are working on at WeSchool. 62

65 Rendezvous with leading Media & Entertainment Personalities WeSchool strongly believes in integrating the philosophy of Leadership & Innovation with a design-thinking approach into management education. To enhance the learning in the classroom, a blend of case-studies, scenario planning, role-plays, audio-visual material and experiential learning methods are used in addition to the conventional classroom lecture method. Teaching through theatre, literature, poems, films, and book reviews have been a popular medium to connect with students to teach several management & leadership principles which makes learning more experiential and fun as well. B-schools and companies have realized how theatre-kind of training can develop various attributes among individuals and can determine group dynamics. At WeSchool we are going one step further by integrating theatre and literature and helping our students to not just learn from the unique pedagogy but by interacting with leading Media & Entertainment personalities who teach many lessons on decision-making. Recently leading media personalities captivated WeSchool's new 2 years Full-time PGDM Program batch in their signature style.

67 Students Summer Internship Apart from connecting with organizations, WeSchool also encourages students to learn about working in international groups through Universities it partners via student exchange programs. The Copenhagen Business School offered one such opportunity where one of the WeSchool students with a Biotechnology background selected a course in Marketing Communications where he worked on a project with group members from Italy, Turkey and Lithuania. This global exposure has also provided him an opportunity to learn from social interactions with fellow students from various continents such as Asia, America and Europe.

Duration Student internships are generally defined for a period of 2 months in May and June, is more convenient to carry out internships during the student's summer break at the institute. Benefits Undoubtedly, the internships offer a unique significant learning opportunities for our students as it helps them garner global experiences.
