A key part of the Nanyang Fellows MBA Programme was exposure to the thought processes of established industry and government leaders as they shared their considerable experiences in keynote seminars throughout the year. This year, fellows were privileged to have three such leaders take the time to interact and share non-public aspects of their achievements.

Business Study Mission – Shanghai
Shanghai is the largest city by population in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the largest city proper by population in the world.
A beautiful city. The happening city.
China is the factory producing for the world and Shanghai can be called the gateway to Modern China. The Chinese do everything on a huge scale. Entering Shanghai on the majestic bridges spanning the Yangtze and Huangpu Rivers gives one a breathtaking view of the city.
Our two weeks in Shanghai were a lesson in the culture, ethos, and business acumen that is the Chinese.
The expertly structured schedule gave the Nanyang Fellows Cohort a close look at the opportunities that is CHINA.
The US Segment
The US segment is an integral component of our programme.
Association with premier business schools, such as Wharton Business School and MIT Sloan, makes our programme unique, unlike any other graduate programme.
The excitement on everyone’s mind about attending best of the best was immeasurable and energy infectious. It was amazing to see all 21 of us and EMBA participants come together, taking different flights, turn up in the lobby of Steinberg Conference Center well before time on March 18, 2013. Surely, we guys love punctuality! Well, a sign of a responsible leader! We all looked forward to learning from the best of minds in the business world. Someone rightly said “Wharton is the box-office of business world”! Each day was a new experience and not just academically learning about Venture Capitalists, Private Equity, Granularity, M&A etc. but holistically.
