Message from
the Indian High Commissioner

My warmest congratulations to the alumni of the Indian Institutes of Management in

Singapore for IIMPACT 2010. It is entirely relevant that this year’s theme focuses on an
Asian perspective on Sustainable Development.

The Indian Institutes of Management are the outcome of a great exercise in institution
building in India. It is gratifying to note that its alumni are making an impact all over the
world while retaining strong linkages with India.

Message from
the Honourable Minister

Singapore is fortunate to have some 700 IIM alumni living here. They work in different
sectors contributing significantly to our economy and to our cultural life. Some have
taken up Singapore citizenship. All keep links to India, the US and other parts of the world.

Last year, I was invited to dinner by senior IIM alumni members at the American Club. We
discussed, first, the contribution the IIM community can make to Singapore and, second,
how to make Singapore an important node in the global IIM worldwide web.
5
IIMPact Singapore has been organising its Signature Series of business events since 2005.

The theme of this year’s seminar, “Sustainable Development- The Asian Perspective”, is
broad enough for us to discuss these two objectives. It is not only morally right to pursue
sustainable development, it is also in the enlightened self-interest of those who are
successful. Unless we help those who do less well by the market, growing social divisions
will divide us. Unless we live as part of nature, we imperil the long-term basis of our own
success.

Singapore is an experiment in sustainable development. Despite the diversity, we are a

community. Even as we seek global connections, we cultivate a sense of home. Though
highly urbanized, we bring nature into our daily life. At one level, we insist on fairness
and adherence to rules and regulations. At a deeper level, we internalise the values which
make sustainable development a way of life. It is a way of life which is shared by many IIM
alumni.

I hope the IIM community will become integral and organic to Singapore. IIMPact should
be equal to its name.

Minister for Foreign Affairs

ON Sustainable Development
You can make a lot of speeches, but the
real thing is when you dig a hole, plant
a tree, give it water, and make it survive.
That’s what makes the difference.
Wangari Maathai
Environmental activist, first African woman
to receive the Nobel Peace Prize
Can nine billion people be fed? Can we
cope with the demands in the future on
water? Can we provide enough energy?
Can we do it, all that, while mitigating and
adapting to climate change? And can we
do all that in 20 years time? That’s when
these things are going to start hitting in
a really big way. We need to act now. We
need investment in science and technology,
and all the other ways of treating very
seriously these major problems. 2030 is not
very far away.
Prof John Beddington
UK Chief Scientist
Embracing a low carbon economy will be
as momentous as the previous industrial
revolutions. As momentous as the shift
from coal to oil ; and the shift from gas
light to electric light. It has the potential
to give us the competitive edge in the new
global economy. The scale of the challenge
is extraordinary. We will need to reinvent in
the way we live our lives, the way our world
works.
Charles Hendry
Minister for Energy, UK Government
It’s not a choice between our environment
and our economy; it’s a choice between
prosperity and decline.

MESSAGES
The above quotes highlight some of the
issues facing us today and outline some
of the solutions. Human beings tend to
think that they are doing their bit for
Sustainable Development simply by driving
a hybrid car and recycling paper, bottles
and cans – this is a dangerous illusion.
This is simply not enough. We are going to
have to fundamentally change the way we
design our products, industries and services.
William McDonough has written a book
called Cradle to Cradle with his colleague,
the German chemist Michael Braungart,
7
which speaks about sustainable business
practices; it is a manifesto calling for the
transformation of human industry through
ecologically intelligent design. The authors
make the case that an industrial system
that today “takes, makes and wastes” can
tomorrow become a creator of goods and
services that generate ecological, social and
economic value.
In keeping with this spirit of Sustainable
Development and continuing our initiative
from the past years, this year’s IIMPact
event will focus on theme “Sustainable
Development: Looking ahead - The Asian
Perspective”. We will have speakers sharing
with us the concept of ‘Cradle to Cradle’
through their personal stories which are
enlightening and inspiring while promoting
ways of sustaining this Earth. They have
created products and services that allow
nature and commerce to fruitfully co-
exist. In their little worlds, they have been
rethinking the way they live, work, travel,
design, build and consume.

Message from
the Director, IIM Ahmedabad

Dear Alumni

Greetings from Ahmedabad from an Alumnus!

I am happy to learn that IIMPact, the network of Associations of IIM Alumni, is organizing
this year’s pan-IIM alumni meet on September 3. The meet this year is taking place in
an atmosphere where there is increasing skepticism about the western economic model,
10
based on principles of undiluted capitalism. The issue of sustainable development has
taken centre stage in the context of spectacular economic growth of China and India, the
two most populous nations in the world. Achieving economic growth with policies that
are inclusive to ensure that the benefits of growth reach the under-privileged and that the
growth does not sacrifice the interests of future generations has become imperative.

I would like all of you to plan a major event in 2012 to celebrate the golden jubilees
of two of the IIMs, namely, IIMA & IIMC. The occasion should be used to celebrate the
achievements of these two institutions and their alums over the last five decades.

I hope to be able to meet all of you some time in the near future. In the meantime, my
best wishes to all of you and to the scheduled event.

Yours sincerely,
Samir K Barua
Director
IIM Ahmedabad

Message from
the Director, IIM BANGALORE

Management education in this new millennium is undergoing significant and far reaching
changes. We have a unique opportunity to play a pioneering role in redefining it. Its
implications are likely to be felt not only in our country but around the world as economic
focus shifts to Asia and emerging economies.

IIMB has embarked on a journey to increase its focus on research and internationalization.
We received EQUIS accreditation and were ranked in top 10 institutes of Asia. Our 1
12
year full time EPGP program is now in its second year. The seats of PGP program have
increased to 375 this year. And we continue to have good participation on our other
diploma programs like PGSEM, PGPPM and FPM. Our Executive Education department is
also seeing a good participation from the industry. We continue to nurture leadership and
entrepreneurship through NSRCEL programs. Our alumni association is now a thriving
organization with 12 chapters around the world. There is not a single day when the
Institute doesn’t have alumni visiting and engaging our various initiatives. Not only that, I
am happy to see alumni in other cities collaborating and creating synergies for everyone’s
benefit. IIMPact is a great example in itself and I congratulate them for the work they have
put in.

Carbon saving @ Vista
Vista, IIMB’s own business event, the largest
of its kind in the country, was in the news
for much more than its huge success. Vista
saved over 2,000 kilos of carbon dioxide
emissions! The students thoughtfully and
dedicatedly sought the ideal of going
green and promoted it by presenting the
entire event in conformity with this ideal.
Recycled papers were used; the number of
prints of publicity materials were cut short;
most of events were organized outdoors
to cut down on the use of air conditioners
and indoor lighting; Reva electric cars were
used for transportation – on the whole the
emissions saved was equivalent to the CO2
emitted by 10,000 kms of car travel - or 10
flights between Mumbai and Bangalore!

Big Deals and Big Leaps
It was time for celebration for the Nadathur
S. Raghavan Center for Entrepreneurial
Learning (NSR CEL) and its two incubated
companies - Mango Technologies Pvt. Ltd
and Radifinity. Both the companies saw
significant growth in their businesses with
their products attracting the interest of
big companies. Mango, started by first
generation technology entrepreneurs Sunil
14 Maheshwari and Lekh Joshi at NSRCEL,
sold its unique home grown products
to Qualcomm Incorporated, the world’s
largest wireless semiconductor company.
Radifinity got a big break with The
Aditya Birla Minacs group (ABMIT) which
recognized the growth potential of its RFID
based services model. It is a matter of great
pride for IIMB and NSRCEL to have played
the critical role of incubators to nurture the
innovation capabilities of our home grown
technologists.
Alumni interviewers
There was a time when they all sat facing a
panel of interviewers - answering questions,
making an impression and waiting for their
ticket into IIMB. Now it was their turn to
sit on the other side, along with the faculty,
to choose the new generation of IIMB
students. A whopping 102 alumni became
panelists at the PGP and PGSEM interviews
and did a superb job. Interviews were held
in Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi
and the alumni set aside their regular work
to devote their time for this initiative.
This is the first time IIMB is experimenting
with such a model for interviews, it is
probably the first business school in India
to try this too. The results were heartening
- everyone appreciated the fact that the
alumni brought in a fresh perspective to the
interviews.
Women change leaders
A closer look at the profiles of the 166
students who were graduating from the
Management Programme for Women
Entrepreneurs (MPWE) has amazed the
Institute - myriad talents, creative ideas
and amazing energy to make things
happen. Where one was the founder of an
innovative florist company, another was
into bringing out the creative talents of
children and adults. In many ways, they
have made the Institute proud and IIMB
decided to reciprocate by giving the MPWE
graduates the coveted alumni status.
Now that adds immense value to us as a
community throwing open a new avenue to
learn from the experiences of these highly
talented women entrepreneurs.

Message from

Dear IIMC Alumni in Singapore,
I am delighted to know that the Singapore
Chapter of the Indian Institutes of
Management (IIM) Alumni Associations is
organizing IIMPact 2010 on the theme of
“Sustainable Development: Looking Ahead
– The Asian Perspective” on September
3, 2010 at The Raffles City Convention
Centre, Singapore. I wish to congratulate
the alumni of the IIMs for working
cooperatively to organize such an event
on a continuing basis for the past several
years. Today, more than ever before there
is a need to work together in the interest
of your alma mater, the IIM family and the
nation. Such events help to develop fellow
feeling among members of the IIM family.
Such events also provide opportunities
to alumni of these institutions as well
as others to showcase their talents to
an international audience. I am very
happy to know that Mr. George Yeo, Hon.
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Government
of Singapore would grace the occasion as
the Guest of Honour and am pleased to
know that Dr. T.C.A. Raghavan, H.E. The
High Commissioner of India to Singapore
and the renowned author, Mr. Gurcharan
Das among others would be addressing the

I am happy to inform you that IIM Calcutta
has made all round progress during the
past year. There has been significant
growth in the intake in the 2 year Post
Graduate Programme as well as in the
MESSAGES
Fellow Programme (Doctoral Programme).
Significant growth has taken place in our
Executive Education also. Our faculty
strength has increased to almost 90 from
60 a few years ago. In a few months from
now we will be able to commission a part
of a very large new academic complex
and two new PGP hostels. We are hopeful
that in a year from now the campus would
15
have a beautiful, modern and iconic look
though a considerable amount of building
construction would continue for a year
more.
There are many more initiatives that have
been taken by your alma mater in the
recent past and may more are on the anvil.
I invite you all to visit your alma mater
whenever you can. We will be more than
happy to welcome you to the Institute. The
Institute will be 50 years old on November
14, 2010. IIM Calcutta being the first IIM,
the 12 months beginning on November
14, 2010 will also be the Golden Jubilee
Year of the IIM system. We are planning to
celebrate the event in a big way during the
year 2010-2011.
Once again I congratulate the IIM Alumni
Associations Singapore for taking the
initiative to organize IIMPact 2010.

Ramachandra Guha
Writer with Research Interests in Environmental, Social, Political
and Cricket History
IIM Calcutta, 1985
Ramachandra Guha was born in 1958 in
Dehra Dun. He has a Master’s degree in
Economics from Delhi University and a
doctorate in sociology from IIM Calcutta.
From 1984 to 1995 he held a variety of
academic appointments in India, Europe
and the United States. From 1995 he has
been a full-time writer, based in Bangalore.
22
Guha’s scholarly work and publications
fall into four main categories. First, there
is his work in environmental history and
environmental sociology. The Unquiet
Woods (1989) is a social history of the
Himalayan forests from the late 19th
century down to the Chipko movement of
the present day. This Fissured Land (1992)
and Ecology and Equity (1995), both co-
authored with Madhav Gadgil, analyse
ecological conflicts in India from ancient
times to the present. Environmentalism:
A Global History (2000) presents a cross-
cultural history of the environmental
movement worldwide. How Much Should a
Person Consume? (2006) is a comparative
sociology of environmental attitudes in
two large and diverse democracies, India
and the United States. Aside from these
five books, Guha has also published a
number of well-cited research papers on
environmentalism.
The second sphere of Guha’s work is the
history of democracy. India after Gandhi
(2007) is the first substantial history
of India since independence. The book
moves between New Delhi and the States,
between biographical sketches of leaders
and portraits of peasants and workers,
between political history and social history.
Third, Guha has also used the medium
of biography to more fully understand
the history of modern India. Here, he has
focused on individuals of the ‘middle-
range’; not Prime Ministers or Generals,
nor genuine subalterns either. Among his
subjects are anthropologists, Gandhians,
novelists, and environmentalists. Two
collections of essays and a full-length
biography of Verrier Elwin constitute his
contributions to this genre.
Finally, Guha has also written extensively
on India’s favourite sport, cricket. He has
written two anecdotal histories of cricket
(now combined in a single volume), as
well as a social history of cricket in India, A
Corner of a Foreign Field.
Guha has been a visiting Professor at
the universities of Yale and Stanford, the
Arne Naess Professor at the University
of Oslo, and the Sundaraja Professor in
the Humanities at the Indian Institute of
Science. His awards include the Leopold-
Hidy Prize of the American Society of
Environmental History, the Daily Telegraph/
Cricket Society Prize, the R. K. Narayan
Prize, the Malcolm Adiseshiah Prize for
excellence in social science research, the
Ramnath Goenka Award and the Padma
Bhushan.

being reflected in a few firm commitments:
first, to ensure that his personal skills &
network are deployed on social projects
that facilitate inclusive economic
development; and, secondly, investing
time in mentoring young entrepreneurs,
especially social entrepreneurs.

IIMPACT – Making a difference
By Anil Tandon, President, IIMPACT
www.iimpact.net
IIMPACT was set up in 2003 by the 1978
alumni batch of IIM Ahmedabad when we
came together for our 25th reunion. The
registered society chose as its primary
focus the education of girl children from
socially and economically disadvantaged
sections of society.
In 2003, we set up 20 Learning Centres and
educated around 600 girls. Today, we have
grown to 560 centres and are helping more
than 17, 000 girls expand their horizons in
24 remote areas of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh,
Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and Haryana. Our
Vision is to take the number of Learning
Centres to 2,000 by the year 2014, which
will directly benefit 60,000 girls and their
communities.
Our success has been largely due to our
strong focus on partnerships and our ability
to involve local communities. We ensure
that local NGOs are involved, parents of
children are empowered and encouraged,
and village communities are collected
and empowered. IIMPACT plays the role
of leader as well as catalyst. On one hand
we handhold, educate, train and provide
resources, while on the other hand, we
also build and strengthen community
institutions assuring girls’ education.
Our financial model also makes it easy
for anyone and everyone to become a
donor. A contribution of just Rs. 75,000
(USD 1,700) per year enables a donor to
finance the setting up of a 30 girl Learning
Centre in a village. The donor’s contribution
is acknowledged at the centre and over
time, donors tend to develop strong bonds
with the centre and the community. A key
differentiator of the IIMPACT model is that
none of the donor’s money is spent on
overheads – 100% goes towards program
execution. All overheads are contributed
separately by members of the IIMPACT
organization as well as a separate Overhead
Donor.
In my visits to the villages where we
operate, I have seen visible changes in
attitudes of both the parents and the
village community towards girls’ education,
marriage, environment etc. thereby
creating an impact that goes far beyond
education. We have also commissioned
a study, engaging school and college
students to survey the sociological impact
of IIMPACT. The survey is still underway,
but the responses are heartwarming and it
is clear that there is a huge impact in the
villages where we operate and huge shifts
in attitude.
An elder in one of the villages in Haryana
where we have been running the learning
center for the last 2 years, placed IIMPACT
learning center at the top of the list of
most important places in the village. He
feels that the learning center is more
important than even the local court
because in the court people go only when
they have conflicts, while the learning
center is the place that is changing the face
of their village itself.
A couple in another village makes sure that
their daughter goes to IIMPACT center well
fed everyday. The girl recalls that 2 years
ago, before IIMPACT touched her life, they

never bothered about her food. We also
found many cases where parents are now
buying their daughters good clothes, school
bags and uniforms; things which were
unheard of before IIMPACT came along.
Such responses are heartwarming and
clearly indicate a shift in attitudes towards
girls.
We also find that many girls in the age
group of 13 years and above come to study
in IIMPACT Centres. Most of them would
have been married by now had it not been
for IIMPACT, since this was the practice in
these villages for generations.
When we asked one mother how she
monitors the academic progress of her
daughter, she gave a very interesting
answer. She said that being illiterate,
initially she could not figure out anything,
but gradually she found ways of checking
the progress of her daughter. She would
search for newly written pages in her
notebooks, ask her to narrate any new
poems she has learned or check the text
books for pages that have been greased or
creased due to continuous use.
400 girls have graduated from IIMPACT and
gone on to attend classes from primary to
secondary in Government schools. Their
parents have become fully supportive of
their higher education. They have overcome
community pressure and avoided early
marriages. In reply to our questionnaire,
majority of the parents said that if the
education quality of IIMPACT was there,
they were even prepared to send their girls
longer distances to study now. The major
IIM Alumni Profiles
reason cited for girls not going to school
earlier was that schools were far away, boys
also studied there, mostly male teachers
taught, and lack of toilets.
When IIMPACT was formed, we chose to
focus on providing primary education to
out of schoolgirls since this was one of
the root causes of backwardness in the
country. We now find that our efforts are
creating an impact beyond education, and
transforming life in hundreds of villages.
With the support of well-wishers and 25
enlightened donors who support and inspire
us, we hope to cover 20,000 girls in the
coming year.
If you would like to help in any way, please
contact our Singapore representative,
Mr. Ramasastry Ambarish , who is also
a member of the ‘78 alumni batch and
is an active board member of IIMPACT.

Bhavani Prakash
Environmental Activist and Founder of Eco Walk the Talk.com
IIM Calcutta, 1993
When Bhavani Prakash graduated from IIM
Calcutta in 1993, she was so stimulated
by the economics courses on campus that
she ventured to do a second Masters in
Financial Economics from the University
of London – quite determined to enter the
world of banking.
Nearly two decades later, she is now a
26 full-time environmental activist - both
online and offline. She founded Eco Walk
the Talk.com in 2008, an Asia focussed
website which offers news, insights and
living tips on a range of environmental and
sustainability issues . She also contributes
her insights to other websites, newsletters
and magazines and gives talks at various
forums.
Q: How did this sudden change in
direction come about?
It was an almost accidental elective subject
called “Environmental Economics” in the
last semester of the Masters program that
hit me like a ton of bricks – that economics
is so incomplete in explaining human,
societal or environmental wellbeing. There’s
no economic significance, for example,
placed on the contribution of a mother, a
volunteer, or on ecosystems such as forests,
rivers and soil – and this is really at the core
of many ecological and societal problems
we see today.
The current MBA pedagogy and economic
thinking is so Galilean – with the economy
being at the centre of the universe. It
assumes exponential growth can continue
in a world of finite resources. Once I got
that eureka moment, the realisation that
the economy and our society are subsets
of a larger, complex, unified system in
distress which we call the Earth – I knew I
couldn’t go back to a corporate career. The
planet needed more urgent attention than
someone’s balance sheet.
When I came to Singapore in 2003, I was
fascinated by the ecology of the region’s
rainforests and came to understand how
rapidly deforestation was taking place.
What started off as a passion to spread
awareness about rainforests (I used to
guide at the rainforest section of the
Singapore Botanic Gardens) eventually led
me to understand, and talk about a range
of environmental issues – because they are
all like pieces of a gigantic jigsaw puzzle.
Q. What can individuals and companies
do to make a difference?
Tons. First, don’t wait for the right
moment. Climate change is happening now.
Extinction of species on an unprecedented
scale is happening under our very
noses. Resources – be they fresh water,
mineral, fossil fuel or forest resources are
diminishing rapidly within our generation.
Millions are suffering from lack of access to
food, clothing, clean water and sanitation
this very minute. So the time to act is now
– not when the children have grown up, or
when you’ve saved x amount of money, or
when you’re going to retire.

My warmest congratulations to the alumni of the Indian Institutes of Management in
Singapore for IIMPACT 2010. It is entirely relevant that this year’s theme focuses on an
Asian perspective on Sustainable Development.

The Indian Institutes of Management are the outcome of a great exercise in institution

(T.C.A. Raghavan)
High Commissioner of India
Here is his story:
Singapore
I learned scuba diving in 1999, when
I was (old, by diver standards) 35. Sure,
I had seen the stuff on television… not
a day went by without Discovery or the
National Geographic channels transmitting
something on life under water. All that I
remember of those programs was “Hey that
looks nice.”Just “nice”. It was never “Holy
God!!! I should try that sometime!” Around
that time, I was deep into building my
second company. 35 years old, ambitious,
aggressive, and driven. The first company
I had set up had been transitioned to my
partners and I had moved out of operations
there. And I had no time for anything else
apart from work. First-hand experience
came when my wife, Nalini, and a friend
of hers went for a holiday to Seychelles in
early 1998. Sure enough, I had stayed back.
I was the ambitious, driven guy, remember?
So when she came back with a bunch of
photos of her back-rolling off a boat in full
scuba gear, it hit me that she had enjoyed
herself doing something that should be
experienced. “You should have seen the
blue!” “The size of that turtle - my god!”
“Jelly fish!” “The big grouper!” (Huh? I didn’t
know what a grouper was). “You missed out
on something so amazing, so brilliant …”
I never stopped hearing about it from
her after that. Even watching the same
programs on televisions changed: it was
“I’ve seen that when I went diving!”, or
“This was better in Seychelles”. Meantime,
business was booming at the tech support
company I had set up in Bangalore. We had
grown to cover multiple locations: Delhi,
Chennai, Hyderabad, and Pune.

Sponsor, presented the second in the
IIMPact series of annual business events
- IIMPact 2006 Business Plan Challenge,
a business plan contest among the MBA
students from top business schools of
India and Singapore. The topic was: “If
you had up to USD 25 million to invest
in an entrepreneurial venture in India,
what would you do – why and how?”
The four best teams – two were from IIM
Ahmedabad, one from IIM Indore and one
from NUS Business School – were invited
to present their plans to an eminent jury
and compete for the first and second prizes
of SGD 10,000 and SGD 5,000 respectively
at the glittering event on November 9,
2006 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.

The plans, all thoroughly researched and
complete with market research, marketing
strategy, contingency plans and financial
projections, included a landscaping
company (IIMA), an ethanol manufacturing
company (“Cellzymes”, IIMA), an Indian
herbal medicine and cosmetics company
(“Sanjeevani”, IIMI) and a company making
power from rice husk (“Silictricity”, NUSBS).
Each team was given 10 minutes to present
their case and faced 5 minutes of questions
from the panel of judges, who had been

education
After selling his jewelry company in 2007,
John Hardy and his wife Cynthia endowed

40 in open-air classrooms surrounded by acres
of gardens that they tend themselves. They
learn to build with bamboo and meanwhile
they are being prepared for traditional
British school exams. The school is
international – twenty percent of students
are Bali locals, some on scholarship. The
centerpiece of the campus is the spiraling
Heart of School, which may be called Asia’s
largest bamboo building.
Hardy has long been an advocate of the
use of bamboo as an alternative to timber

offset the carbon emissions associated
with the yearly corporate print advertising
