Sounds incredible. The common response is:
In this epoch of great changes family businesses and businessmen are in crisis. It is not that all changes are bad. Rather what is disturbing is that we do not how to adopt. We can see opportunity as well as threats in the changes.
Everybody says that we have to gear up, to change our mindset. The million dollar question is how? It is here that education can play a key role.
- We have made it. We already ‘know’.
- Who has the time?
- Paying any fee for our education at this age? It is out of question.

Despite reservations, over 500 businessmen aged over 40, decided to ‘try’. On completion of the first module, they are unanimous in saying that:
- Future will be different from past. Now we know how little we know.
- One can keep working hard on ‘doing wrong things’ and even kill oneself with overwork. Now we know the importance of ‘doing right things’ and raising ‘right questions’. We have never used our time more productively than this contact.
- The perspectives that unfold in our understanding are so valuable that the fees appear ‘irrelevant’. In fact the fee is the investment with shortest payback period we ever made.
