Sir Richard Stagg KCGM,
CMG UK’s High Commissioner to India
February 3, 2009
“A wonderful two hours”, that was the comment left in the visitor’s book by Sir Richard Stagg, KCGM, CMG UK’s High Commissioner to India, during his recent visit to the Indian School of Business (ISB). During his visit to the School, Sir Richard spent time with Dean Ajit Rangnekar, discussing various issues of mutual interest. He was highly appreciative of the School’s growth graph and vision. The talks revolved around collaboration and cooperation, and how educational institutions can help strengthen relations between the two countries. During his interaction with students at the ISB, Sir Richard had a lot of queries about how the present batch is coping up with the current global financial crisis, their views on the opening up of the educational sector in India, and the various career prospects that the students are looking at. Noting that the ISB was a “highly impressive institution”, the High Commissioner promised that his next visit to the ISB would definitely be a longer stay.
