A small group of CEIBS alumni assembled at the technology capital of India, Bangalore to welcome Prof. Shameen Prashantham on January 21, 2017. An insightful presentation on startups and how MNCs work with startups to drive innovation benefitting their operations and overall ecosystem was conducted aptly at 91 springboard, a co-working hub of startups. Prof. Prashantham was kind enough to answer all questions from alumni and share his observations from the Silicon valley and Scotland startup ecosystem. The presentation was followed by dinner where the alumni could unwind and interact with each other casually.
