 |
| Uncle Bala |
When on 25 May 2012, The Economic Times published their list
of Top 10 Global Indian thought leaders; the entire Great lakes proudly
celebrated the moment. The reason was Uncle Bala featuring in the list along
with other Global Indian thought leaders. That was the moment of great pleasure
for every one of us to see his presence there.
In today’s time when the distances don’t matter and the
information travels at the speed of light across the globe, the global thinkers
are one of the key directors of future. Their influence on the society anywhere
on the planet plays a very vital role, particularly readying the people for tomorrow.
Their contribution as academician on global platform is acknowledged with
excellence.
And one such stalwart to the cause is our Uncle Bala, who
has consistently contributed in developing the global arena. He is one of those
who have set standards on global platforms. Few of his contributions are
setting up higher education institutes like ISB, MDI and Great Lakes, providing
executive education for various companies and the government, consultant to
senior management in industry, as well as to the U.S. Air Force and serving as
a consultant to Dr Manmohan Singh when he was the finance minister. His work
has earned numerous scholastic honors, awards, and fellowships and he authored
more than 55 research articles. He is also the recipient of the fourth highest
civilian award of the Government of India the ‘Padmashri’ in 2001.
We are very privileged that Uncle Bala’s thoughts and
actions are chariot of our future. Please accept our congratulations and
complements for this landmark.
