A Project Long Overdue..

Some kind words shared by Professor Ramnath Narayanswamy on his impressions and recollections of DREAM:IN.

“DREAM:IN is an audacious project that was long overdue in this country. It seeks to unbundle the creative energies of the Indian people in a manner that has not been attempted before. This single fact alone accounts for its uniqueness. But there is more. By capturing the dreams of various segments of society drawn from worlds that are hugely divergent (the tribal and feudal to the modern and post-modern) and attempting to translate those dreams into reality, DREAM:IN is a project that needs widespread encouragement and support.

Among other reasons, the fact that India is going to have the largest number of young people in the world in the next twenty to thirty years makes it a powerful engine of substantive and profound social, political, economic and cultural transformation. I wish them enduring success in these radical endeavors.”

Ramnath Narayanswamy is a Professor in the areas of Economics and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore. His areas of interest include Business and Society, Economic Reforms in Transition Economies, Spirituality and Self Development, Entrepreneurship in the Creative Sector, Outsourcing, and Creativity and Innovation. During the fall of 2009, he is a visiting professor at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg. He also participated as a Dreamcatalyst in the DREAM:IN Conclave.

Thank you so much Prof. Ramnath. It would not have turned out so well without your participation.
