Georgia College Dean Dale Young drew up a tight schedule for the students that was a blend of academics, co-curricular and cultural activities.

On the first day, the students and faculty had a one-to-one with faculty members of Georgia College.

Sapanjeet, a first-year MBA student at KBS, said: "It was one of finest interactions I had. I got an opportunity to meet global faculty which changed my perspective of MBA."

The students also attended a session with Georgia College students.

Kartik Iyer, also a first-year MBA student, said: "I interacted and shared knowledge with students from diverse cultures. It gave me an opportunity to look at the world from a truly global perspective."

The students attended sessions on consumer behaviour, global communication and business strategy.
