I have read a few articles these days regarding the authenticity of claims made by IIPMs. some blogs have also posted entries regarding them. The catching phrase "Dare to think beyond IIMs" always sounded incorrect to me.
This article from JAM has exposed what i felt. There is also a rumor that Arindam "The management guru" has no much educational qualification as he claims. What so ever, some say his speeches are very influential. But I feel there are plenty of people around us who can give good speeches, inspire us. What it matters is how you take them and implement them in real life.
