Hello! This blogging experience has inspired me to dig up some old pictures from my travels that I would love to share with the group! Something I especially want to share is my trip two years ago with BU for the "Doing Business In and With India" course. If anyone was thinking about participating in this trip and class in the future I would highly recommend it and hope these pictures show how amazing of an experience it was!
The trip took place at two different campuses of Infosys Technologies Limited, the first being the Bangalore campus where we had a great workshops with presentations from Infosys' top executives!
The next pictures are a few from the Mysore campus of Infosys. This was a huge and beautiful campus where all of the training of new employees took place. It was fascinating to hear and see all they did for their employees since they spend their first 6 months here!
Another great aspect of the trip is that BU had us take advantage of where we were and not just sit in a classroom the entire time, but also go out and experience India and it's history.
I will add more picture from this and other travels but these are some of my favorites that I pulled out for now! I took a ton since it was such a great trip so I hope you all enjoy and if anyone else went on it the year after I would love to see pictures as well!

Hi Bryn!
ReplyDeleteI was in the AD 648. The class where we created these blogs :) Well I am not enrolled and plan to be going to India in January as part of the Doing Business in India at InfoSys course. I wanted to reach out to you to ask you a few questions about the course, like the expectations workload, schedule in India. etc. My email address i elizabeth.ann.ivey@gmail.com. I would really appreciate any advice or thoughts you would like to share with me prior to my departure. Also did you spend any extra time exploring India such as visiting the Taj Mahal? Did you have any trouble with the Visa process?
