[Assam] Harvard/MIT/Wharton classmates: Initiating startups

[umesh sharma]

Hi,

Just now I was looking up some old classmates' professional profiles on Linked In - now that we are becoming wired - old faces, long lost or deliberately hidden from view are coming to the fore - unable to resist the network. The world has become flat.

Found that two of my high school classmates just finished their MBAs from MIT's Sloan and Upenn's Wharton respectively - great friends from old times. The MIT grad in Cambridge area during the same time I was studying at Harvard. The Wharton grad was a surprise -seeing that he had been in the US since 1993 (for MS) and suddenly decided to go for MBA from top school. They both joined MBA programs in the same year (2004) and graduated the same year (2006). Both are President/CEOs of their US based companies or something like that. Thats quick.

Coming from a small town I can relate to their experience that friendship matters a lot - peer learning and peer pressure create bonds and cohesion and competitiveness.

Here is a company founded recently, a startup - I happen to know one of the senior guys (as I mentioned). http://www.internationalgrowth.com/index.html 

 The concept could be replicated by Many qualified Assamese professionals in the US (we have amongst us the Dean of Kellog Business School, etc etc)
