You can exchange ideas, refresh your skills, build networks and you can then return to India filled with energy and ideas which will enable you to deal with challenges that we all face in our respective countries
Kishore Jayaraman, President, India & South Asia, Rolls-Royce said:
As India continues to make great strides towards achieving its socio-economic aspirations, we must continue to nurture our future generations. The CRISP is an excellent way to identify and develop future leaders who are at their mid-career and help them broaden their global outlook to power India’s socio-economic transformation. At Rolls-Royce, we want to go beyond philanthropy to find innovative ways to properly link industry with scientific and technical excellence for the long-term, and for the benefit of us all.
