Dr Arti Chandani, a faculty member from Symbiosis Business school, Pune, visited our institute on 6th September 2019. Dr Arti’s interaction with our faculty encompassed through issues related to setting up of SIP system, research culture and attempting for grants. The faculty members enjoyed the interaction, it was more like revisiting our own research ecosystem at MIM level. We found Dr Arti very insightful in her discussions and was focused on result outcomes of research initiatives. Dr Raveendranath Nayak thanked the speaker with a memento. Prof. Chetana Madodi coordinated the programme.
