SIBM PUNE was happy to host a session by Mr. Vijay Sharma, Commercial Lead – Global Emerging Markets Acceleration Team, GlaxoSmithKline. Mr. Sharma spoke about the various rural-based initiatives undertaken by GSK and other FMCG companies and its importance in the financial sense.

He elaborated greatly on social sustainability and the ties it has to financial and business growth. Also with the advent of technology, reaching the interiors of India has become easier, notwithstanding the challenges of spreading knowledge and breaking through superstitions.

The students greatly benefited from the session, receiving insights from a experienced and knowledgeable person.
