Market volatility, rapid innovations, and geopolitical strife are fuelling a demand for business
professionals who can think globally and compete strategically. The latest case in point being the
demonetisation by the Government. The competitive realities of global competition and
technological change have dramatically raised the bar on what takes to create and maintain a
competitive advantage.
Navigating today's complex business world requires vision, confidence and strategies that give
tangible business results. At WeSchool, our efforts have been towards nurturing our students not
just as managers but as global citizen leaders; who look beyond themselves and contribute
towards their organization & society as well. To this end, WeSchool has introduced the Global
Citizen Leader program (GCL) in collaboration with Centre for Creative Leadership, USA. This has featured in the Stanford Social Innovation
Review in February 2014 in the article titled “Educating a New Generation of Entrepreneurial Leaders”.
Leadership, Innovation & Design thinking are part of WeSchool's philosophical framework. Advisory Boards help us continually improve our
curriculum and spawn new programs meeting specific needs of emerging markets and businesses. WeSchool's Innovation Board
comprises of stalwarts like Dr. R. A. Mashelkar (Chairman, National Innovation Foundation), Mr. Harsh Mariwala (Chairman & Managing
Director, Marico), Mr. Kishore Biyani (Group CEO, Future Group), Mr. Rana Kapoor (Founder, Managing Director & CEO, Yes Bank),
Mr. Dan Buchner (VP, Peter Lougheed Leadership Institute, The Banff Centre, Canada), Mr. Srini Srinivasan (CEO of LUMIUM and
member of prestigious Executive Board of ICSID), and Prof. Dr. Ramesh Raskar (Associate Professor, MIT Media Lab), to name a few.
Along with its partners, WeSchool has undertaken several path breaking initiatives like Med4Dev India-Israel Affordable Healthcare
Hackathon with Pears Program for Global Innovation, MIT Media Lab-WeSchool Design Innovation Workshop, InterDesign Workshop with
International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID), India Sweden Innovation Accelerator (ISIA) -a platform for Swedish
companies to work with academia to develop business strategies relevant to Indian markets, ReDx 2015 - MIT Media Lab's Health
Technology Camp took potential high impact ideas/solutions sourced from health researchers & doctors to address critical healthcare
issues in India & Kumbhathon in Nashik with MIT and TCS which combines identification of challenges, discussions with stakeholders,
prototyping and customer analysis for multiple corporate and entrepreneurial ventures.
As part of WeSchool's core value of 'We Link and Care' and keeping in mind our responsibility towards our nation and to give back to the
local ecosystem; WeSchool along with partner institutes of Ruia & Podar College have adopted the ' Matunga' railway station.
Students' global & rural exposures and opportunity to engage in several projects and initiatives such as D-Magics, GRLI, SIFE, Udaan and
Munijan have sensitized them to their role as an individual to make a difference to the organization they would be working for. WeSchool's
association with several leading International Universities has ensured student & faculty exchange and internship programs.
Over the course of the program, your fellow students become trusted colleagues and in many cases, lifelong friends. I invite you to embark
on your path to academic and professional excellence with us at our sprawling campuses in Mumbai and Bengaluru which will truly enhance
your intellectual and personal growth. We promise to equip you with inventive techniques and tools which will transform you into Global
Citizen Leaders in organizations of today and tomorrow.

Over the last 3 years, close to 400 WeSchool students from the 2 year full-time PGDM programs namely, Business Design,
Retail Management, Healthcare and Rural Management (Emerging Economies) underwent the Global Citizen Leadership program (GCL).
This credit program is conducted in collaboration with world renowned Centre for Creative Leadership (CCL).
This program is delivered through a combination of theoretical class room sessions, supported by practical immersion into creating some
product / service / or solution that addresses a real life issue, or need. Weekly interventions by faculty mentors guide them through the
journey of self awareness, bonding in teams and gathering insightful observations which are later combined to form themes that can be used
to develop solutions.
During the first three months the students create a project plan, find inspiration, search and define opportunity spaces. In the next three
months the students develop solutions, do prototyping and prepare funding pitches. The top projects were then showcased in front of an
esteemed panel of jury members.
This cutting-edge transformative program provides our students with leadership and innovation knowledge along with an opportunity to
learn and practice skills in a real-life context.
Our students worked towards developing sustainable solutions to issues were related to Rural, Healthcare, Innovation, Social issues,
Human Resources, Urban issues, Infrastructure, Process and Systems & IT and energy.
Some of the unique GCL projects of our students which have impacted not only areas of commerce but also larger social issues are :
1. Opportunities for improved access to financial services for underprivileged citizens in Mumbai
2. Opportunities for developing high end product positioning for any agricultural product
3. Opportunities for developing appropriate patient routing system in a public hospital environment.
4. Opportunities for creating improved rural health services.
5. How to inculcate fiscal discipline among customers of rural financial products
6. Identifying a scalable business model for incubating Women Entrepreneurship in Rural areas.
GCL has received a tremendous response from our senior students who have appreciated the immense value addition this program has
contributed to their overall skill development.

An Assessment Centre (AC) isa method for assessing aptitude and performance; applied to a group of participants by trained assessors
using various aptitude diagnostic processes in order to obtain information about applicants' abilities or development potential.
The assessment centre focuses on a set of varied exercises, which are designed to simulate different aspects of the work environment.
The AC exercises assess how closely your demonstrated behaviours, that are required for the role, match.
It’s important to understand the terminology that is frequently associated with AC in order to facilitate easier understanding of the process.
While the definitions may vary, the table captures the basic concept of each of the terms.
Assessment Centre Process
5212
Term Meaning
Behaviour Everything you say or do that can be linked to a competency area.
CompetencyA group of behaviours related to job success that are specific,
observable and verifiable & can be readily and logically classified together.
ExerciseA simulation or technique designed to elicit behaviours related to performance
requirements of the job.
AssessorAn individual trained to observe, record, classify and make reliable judgment
about the behaviours of those being assessed.
Job AnalysisThis determines the competencies, attributes and other requirements for job success
in the position being evaluated.
Source: Lewis Rowe, Tina; A Preparation Guide for the Assessment centre Method; (2006) Charles C. Thomas Publishers Ltd., Illinios, USA
Basically, AC attempts to assess participants on selected competencies and the definition of ‘competency’ is ‘a group of behaviours related
to job success’. Therefore, to maximize your learning from the AC it’s important to be yourself rather than act in a way you think you are
expected to.

Corporate interface: Rural Roundtable Conference – 'Rural Inc.’
'AuRuM' - A rural theme based Roundtable conference in partnership with the
industry is being organized every year by the core team of Rural management at
WeSchool. The latest concept introduced by the Rural team was “Rural Inc.” which
is a virtual organization connecting all stakeholders in the Rural space for mutual
benefits. This was very well received by the industry and the discussions led to
several challenge statements and projects which were aimed at enhancing the rural
sector. These projects were then assigned to students of rural management to work
upon, under the GCL program. Industry experts offered mentorship to them. Some
of the projects have received attention for a long term mentorship from industries.
Research and innovation through GCL - Global Citizen Leadership
programme
WeSchool has partnered with Leadership Beyond Boundaries (LBB), a global
initiative by the Centre for Creative Leadership (CCL) based in Greensboro, North
Carolina, for the GCL projects. By striking a balance between the creative problem-
solving skills of an innovator and the soft skills of a leader, these students get well

InnoWeInnowe - The Center for Innovation & Memetics is the
Innovation Lab on campus that encourages students to
work on their ideas and test them out practically. To
encourage prototyping of concepts we have a 3D
printer in the lab and a dedicated MakerSpace where
new ideas and designs are allowed to germinate into
real products and services. MIT and WeSchool recently
held an Innovation Workshop where 84 working
Prototypes, using 3D Printers, Sensors etc were used.
With prototypes such as spoons for arthritis patients, gas leakage detectors and vibrating bands for the speech and sound impaired
(as shown in the pic) being created, Maker Space has already set the benchmark for innovation at WeSchool. This practical experience
prepares the students before they enter the industry or for their own entrepreneurial ventures.

The Global Citizen Leadership project is a 6 month co-curricular project � based on real life company challenges and aims to help students learn how to solve real life business or social challenges using the Design thinking and innovation.
MBA like programs over the years have brought in a scientific temper to the field of management which once was conducted purely from a
gut feel. With the proliferation of ubiquitous technology we now have enormous amount of data about every customer, supplier , product and
partners of a company. With fierce competition, disruptive innovations and changing business models it has become imperative to be able
to understand the possible scenarios at any given time, predict future events, design some of them and respond in real time to survive. It has
therefore become imperative to learn how to make sense of the huge and dynamic data, information and knowledge and take bold decisions
about the future.
The PGDM Business Analytics program has therefore been designed to be a program which helps a student to become a versatile analyst
and sense maker, a design thinker and innovator and a risk taker and leader.

Design for Dignity, an exhibition of Swedish design solutions for the differently abled
Exhibition celebrates the spirit of the disabled from India and Sweden and shows the
wayto creating equal opportunities for the disabled for inclusive growth.
The Consulate General of Sweden along with the Swedish Institute hosted the preview of the
Swedish design exhibition titled Design for Dignity along with a photo exhibition titled
AccessAbilty at WeSchool.
Design for Dignity, curated by Ace designer Ms. Margarita Bergfeldt Matiz, showcased
22 diverse innovative Swedish products that included foldable ramps, first generation of
prisma pedestrian signals for those with impaired hearing or vision, easy-to-carry shower
and toilet chair , a listening system that used digital signal processing technology to filter out
background noise and enhance speech, a hassle-free Braille printer for high volumes of
braille production,the super-light wheel chair , tetra packs for those with reduced hand
functions, cutlery for easy eating, comforters to remain calm and many more.
While Design for Dignity highlighted the importance and benefits of being inclusive when
developing products for the future, AccessAbilty showcased everyday stories of Swedish
and Indian individuals with disability, their hopes, dreams and aspirations. The preview was
attended by stakeholders from Sweden and India, researchers, manufacturers, doctors,
academia, and representatives from NGOs along with students and faculty from WeSchool.
The expert curator of the exhibition, Ms. Margarita Bergfeldt Matiz spoke about the
history of Swedish design and the importance of the right for an equal and dignified life for all
while introducing a different perspective on the concept of disability. “In Sweden we haven’t yet fully won the battle for equality for disabled
people, and the participants’ stories say a lot about the Swedish disability policy. Giving everyone a chance to be seen and heard is a step
along the way to not seeing people with disabilities as a homogeneous group but as individuals with different needs. The personal stories of
this exhibit and the design products on show can hopefully initiate discussions and strengthen cooperation internationally on accessibility,
dignity and disability policies.”

“It's time we understood the debt of the society. Do not wait for someone to come and change the world. Just see yourself in a mirror and you will find the individual who can change the world.”
With words coming straight from his heart, Sudhir Mungantiwar, Minister for Finance, Planning and Forests, Government of
Maharashtra began his dialogue with the entrants of WeSchool during the Foundation Fortnight. Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group
Director, faculty and students of WeSchool listened to every word spoken by the Hon’ble Minister in rapt attention.
As he congratulated the fresh joinees from the various MBA programs like Business Design, E-Biz, Retail, Healthcare, Rural Management
of the 2016-18 batch at WeSchool, Shri. Mungantiwar said, “You are indeed very fortunate to have got this opportunity to study in one of
leading B schools in the country. Knowledge is the key for betterment of not only oneself but also of the society but the truly knowledgeable
one is the one who combines knowledge with imagination. In this era of innovation, that individual will be instrumental in bringing the
change in the world. Look within yourself, search within yourself and you will find the change maker. Let us become those change makers
that will make this world a better place for everyone to live in. “
“Dedicate yourself to realize the dreams of your parents. Choose the career path as per your capacities and inclinations. Everyone has
qualities and limitations but the one that overcomes his limitations and converts them into strengths is the real winner. Be prepared to learn
everything but always remember that the knowledge earned is to be used for societal benefit. When you change yourselves, you will step
towards changing the nation. Be grateful to all the factors in the society for the advantages that you have got and learn to contribute your
might for the upliftment of others.” He said.
He informed the students,”Water and forest cover and other environmental resources are mutually related. In Gadchiroli district, 77% of
total geographic area is under forest cover. The same reduces to 58% in Sindhudurg. But in the drought affected Latur, where drinking water
had to be supplied by trains, this coverage is only 0.07%. The total forest cover in the State is 20%, ideally, it should be up to 33%. If this
increase in forest cover is to be achieved, then there is a need to plant 400 crore trees. The Government has committed to the target of
planting 50 crore trees in coming three years.
On 1 July, 2016, 2crore trees will be planted all over Maharashtra and this will be just a beginning. For completing this great task of tree
plantation, public participation is also required on large scale along with the efforts of the Government.”

Dr. Vikas Amte, noted Social Worker, Secretary and Chief Functionary of the Maharogi Sewa Samiti, addresses Convocation 2016
WeSchool was abuzz on a Sunday morning with the graduating class of 2013-15 at the Convocation ceremony organized by the Institute.
What made the convocation special and refreshingly unique was the presence of persons of high repute, Chief Guest Dr. Vikas Amte and
Guest of Honour Consul General Mr. David Akov at the Consulate General of Israel in Mumbai. Both dignitaries along with Group Director
Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe presented the Convocation Certificate to the graduating batch.
Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director WeSchool welcoming the dignitaries, parents and students at the occasion shared “WeSchool
education is about bringing in consciousness towards Society apart from Organization and Self. Be it the Global Citizen Leader program,
initiatives to work with North-East, partnering with international Universities such as the recent one with Israeli Universities, the goal is to
bring about excellence and inclusiveness together. And hence today we have with us an epitome of dedication to humanity Dr. Vikas Amte
and the representative of a nation hailed for its entrepreneurial innovations Mr. David Akov”.
Dr. Vikas Amte is the elder son of social worker and Magsaysay Award winner, Baba Amte (1914 – 2008), Amte heads the organization
‘Maharogi Sewa Samiti’, and is the administrator of Anandwan, the community set up by Baba Amte in 1948 for leprosypatients on the
outskirts of Warora in Chandrapur district in Maharashtra. In his address to the graduating batch of students, he shared “I too represent a
University, but unlike you my University comprises of people who are rejected, dejected and ejected by society. And what we aim to do is
bring in dignity in the lives of these people. We work to reach out to the loneliest, lowliest and last person and hope to change the way their
live their lives. Chance and not Charity is our philosophy. So we focus on building skills and get them to participate in building their lives.
Today as I address young students who will play a pivotal role in how society shapes in the future I recall what Dr. Baba Amte always said,
“If you want to see change, Do it Today and Do it Yourself”. So as you go out in the world as corporate citizens, remember your role and need
to contribute as citizens and humans towards other humans.”
Mr. David Akov, in his address emphasized the need for collaboration between students of both countries especially for innovation in areas
of agribusiness, healthcare and entrepreneurship. He inspired the students to have a collaborative and creative outlook in their new journey.

Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, WeSchool said, “As the environment at WeSchool empowers our students to collaborate with
communities to prevent social conflicts, strengthen ethnic relations and develop a culture of empathy, Global Peace Initiative is one such of
our endeavours to make them understand their role and responsibility in building a better world.”
Smt Rajashree Birla, while delivering the keynote address, appreciated WeSchool’s initiative and said, “It is heartwarming to see educational
institutions like WeSchool and its students commemorate the martyrs of the 26/11 tragedy, and discuss important issues like global peace.
I believe to achieve global peace; we first need to achieve inner peace by sticking to our roots and values, and not forsaking them under any
circumstances.”
In an emotional speech, Kia Scherr of One Life Alliance, expressed her painful loss. She thanked the members of the panel for discussing
global peace and highly appreciated the efforts taken by WeSchool to engage students and spread awareness about unity and peace.
She said, “The key element that drives people to work towards achieving world peace is love, for their people, their country, and the
commitment to protect them.”

International Conference on Social Media Marketing in Emerging Markets @WeSchool, Bengaluru
In only half a decade, social media has altered consumer behaviour to the extent that one third of consumer
spending today may be driven by social inputs like reviews and comments. And it is estimated that, by
2022, four out of every five transactions will be driven by social media. As consumers become more
empowered, it's crucial to use social media to engage and connect with the customers. Thus, it is has
become imperative to develop models and methods to augment the effectiveness of social media
marketing in emerging markets like India.

in emerging markets. The conference was inaugurated by Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe, with the keynote address by Mr. Nishanth Rao, Country
Head, LinkedIn. Leading academic researchers from B-schools as well as those from corporate firms from across the country and marketing
experts presented sessions as well as papers discussing the best practices adapted by them.
This two day conference was designed to provide an understanding from industry experts on the fundamentals of how to strategize the
social media marketing initiatives and network with ease; develop contemporary ways of acquiring new customers and increasing the
impact that one makes on potential customers. The various discussion themes of the conference ranged from how social media can be

Imagination Needs to be Fed, WeSchool BengaluruWeSchool South India Level Idea Contest 2015-16
the B Schools have been stuck in the rut of old paradigms and pedagogy recycling obsolete thought with monotonous regularity. At We
School we perceive knowledge as application of mind. Constant Innovation and design thinking are the instruments which has pushed our
students to achieve great success. It has been our endeavour to induce other institutions to see education in this new light. The We School
Idea Contest was an exercise in this direction.
Taking a cue from the Prime Minister’s clarion call, “Think India, Transform India” We School conducted the idea contest in 100 different
Graduate colleges in five states of South India. The thought behind hold this contest was to sway the Institutions and students towards
Innovation and design thinking which has been the hallmark of We School.
The contest drew participation from over 100 colleges spread across Karnataka, Seemandhra, Telangana, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The ideas
were on the sub themes relating to Smart city, Swachh Bharat, Digital India, Make in India, Skill India, Start up India Stand up India and
Incredible India. The contest commemorated late Dr. APJ Kalam’s vision of India 2020. Starting in September 2015, the contest progressed
through two phases. The first phase witnessed the Welingkar faculty visiting over the colleges across the five states, conducting the first
rounds of the contest, shortlisting two students from each. Two students got in by wild card entry held for Bengaluru colleges.
Mr. Satyanarayanan – Bagged first prize for the idea on “walking stick for visually challenged people with voice assistance”
Mr. Francis S. Mondal – Won the Second prize for the Idea on “Solar cell with a Brain” at the Idea Contest

Industry Round TablesAt WeSchool, our endeavor has always been to provide cutting edge business education. However, the word education always has two
sides to it - theory and practice. Strangely though, they seem mutually exclusive. As Albert Einstein has said, “In theory, theory and
practice are the same. In practice, they are not”. This is often the classic disparity any MBA student faces after graduating from the B-
School. We understand that today it is very essential to create employable people and that is why we actively facilitate a dialogue with the
corporate world to know better what is expected from B-Schools and its graduates today.
To engage in 'immersive techniques' and interact with 'people in the thick of action' is integral to the transformative learning pedagogy at
WeSchool. Towards achieving this goal, WeSchool has taken some decisive strides and one such initiative being "Confluence:
A Constructive Collision Of The Greatest Business Minds - a series of Industry roundtables". These roundtables also provided our
students with opportunities ranging in the form of projects, internships and even employment.
During this past year, WeSchool organised series of roundtables across diverse industry verticals. Through these roundtables WeSchool
brought together over 1000 renowned industry professionals, who shared real-time challenges and some of these are live projects that
students are working on at WeSchool.

WeSchool strongly believes in integrating the philosophy of �Leadership� & �Innovation� with a design-thinking approach into management
education. To enhance the learning in the classroom, a blend of case-studies, scenario planning, role-plays, audio-visual material and
experiential learning methods are used in addition to the conventional classroom lecture method. Teaching through theatre, literature,
poems, films, and book reviews have been a popular medium to connect with students to teach several management & leadership principles
which makes learning more experiential and fun as well. B-schools and companies have realized how theatre-kind of training can develop
various attributes among individuals and can determine group dynamics.
At WeSchool we are going one step further by integrating theatre and literature and helping our students to not just learn from the unique
pedagogy but by interacting with leading Media & Entertainment personalities who teach many lessons on decision-making.
Recently leading media personalities captivated WeSchool's new 2 years Full-time PGDM Program 2016-18 batch in their signature style.
While students engage with these non-conventional leaders, they also are guided to delve on the learnings from their experiences which
further enhances their professional approach.

Apart from connecting with organizations, WeSchool also
encourages students to learn about working in international
groups through Universities it partners via student exchange
programs.
The Copenhagen Business School offered one such opportunity
where one of the WeSchool students with a Biotechnology
background selected a course in Marketing Communications
where he worked on a project with group members from Italy,
Turkey and Lithuania. This global exposure has also provided him
an opportunity to learn from social interactions with fellow
students from various continents such as Asia, America and
Europe. The perspectives they brought to the table has
broadened the student�s approach to learning and addressing
challenges in a dynamic corporate world.
Students Summer Internship
Benefits Undoubtedly, the internships offer a unique significant learning
opportunities for our students as it helps them garner global
experiences. The company too benefits in several ways; as an
outsider and being younger in age, students are able to bring in
fresh perspectives to any existing problem and give valuable
recommendations for the benefit of the company. The company
also assesses the holistic performance of the student, to whom
they could then potentially choose to make an employment offer
to, in the near future.
DurationStudent internships are generally defined for a period of 2 months
in May and June, is more convenient to carry out internships
during the student's summer break at the institute.

The Placements ProcessThe Placement Team at Welingkar comprises the Career Management Cell (CMC), Professors and student representatives. A Placement
Secretary is selected from the students, by the students and they along with the CMC undertake and manage the activities of Summer
Internship and Campus Recruitment. They correspond with prospective employers, arrange pre-placement talks, group discussions and
personal interviews on campus and provide all the facilities required by the companies to make the placement process as smooth as
possible.
THE PLACEMENT PROCESS
A critical part of the placement process is the opportunity for the students and the industry to interact with each other and get to know each
other. There are several opportunities that WE School offers to help build a strong presence on campus.
PRE-PLACEMENT TALK
The pre-placement talks are presentations organized by the company on the college campus. Over the years, they are one of the primary
modes of interaction of the students with the companies. It gives students a chance to know more about the company, the work culture and
a brief about the kind of people they would be working with. The students can also understand about the growth opportunities, learning and
advancement facilities at your organization. And they get a clear idea of the kind of profile that they would be working on. All of this gives the
student a clear understanding of the company and the kind of work he/she would be employed in. The PPTs can take place on any mutually
convenient day. Additionally, the company would also have a chance to interact with the students and gauge the quality of aspirants
interested in applying for the post.
DISTRIBUTING MATERIAL
Information about the company, brochures, pamphlets, research material or any research material which could be shared with the students
can be forwarded to the CMC which will ensure its dissemination to the students. The students could also be provided with live case studies,
contests, test, quizzes or any other form which the company may choose to conduct to be able to shortlist students (based on discussion
and approval by the CMC).
CONFERENCES, WORKSHOPS, ACADEMIC FAIRS, SEMINARS
The college actively would like to invite industry representatives from your organization to conduct conferences and seminars at our
campus. These seminars could be organized by your company with respect to any scholarly, academic, informational or promotional
pursuits. WE School would like to discuss opportunities to conduct such Conferences with your organization on a regular basis.
SPONSORING PROJECTS
Students at WE School have been extremely active and have executed live projects for organizations on an ongoing basis. This provides
students with an understanding of the company's operations and also aids companies to be able to execute projects with budding new
talent.
