Management Consulting industry is growing rapidly in India. There is a strong need among consulting professionals for sharing cross-functional and emerging-sector experience. Case studies from business schools fulfill this need partly, but small and individual consultants need more access to experiential learning.

Leading consultants from India share their experiences in these areas of Management Consulting: o Strategic Marketing, o International Marketing, o Brand Management, o Human Resource Development, o Executive Search, o Mergers and Acquisitions, o Project Finance, o E-Governance, o Corporate Governance, o Institution Building, and more.
