ABOUT
THE
CONFERENCE
The Wharton India
Economic Forum (WIEF), established in 1996 at The Wharton School, is the
leading student run business forum in the U.S. which is focused on India.
WIEF's mission is to focus attention on the enormous potential for the
enhancement of economic and business relations between India and other
countries of the world. WIEF's annual conference is not only a vehicle
for raising the profile of the subcontinent, but also offers a unique
opportunity for participants to raise their profiles with key decision
makers, establish critical business contacts, and recruit the best talent
from the leading business schools.
Through its forum, which includes conferences and speaker engagements,
WIEF seeks to stimulate an energetic dialogue between current and future
business leaders. In recent years, 400 attendees have gathered to exchange
ideas with prominent business figures, policy makers, other professionals,
and students from several graduate and undergraduate institutions.
Speakers from the past nine conferences have included P. Chidambaram,
Finance Minister of India; Rajat Gupta, former Managing Director, McKinsey
& Company; Victor Menezes, Vice-Chairman, Citigroup; Anil Ambani, Vice-Chairman
and MD, Reliance Industries; N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman, Infosys;
and H.E. Lalit Mansingh, former Indian Ambassador to the US.
The conference has also enjoyed widespread press coverage by leading publications
such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Economic Times and The Times
of India. Meet the WIEF
Executive Committee which consists of MBA and undergraduate students
of the Wharton School and University of Pennsylvania.
