His Excellency, Kamalesh Sharma, the Indian High Commissioner, officially opened the University of Leeds’ James E. Lynch India and South Asia Business Centre (ISABC) on Wednesday the 22nd of March, 2006.
At the welcome ceremony, the Indian High Commissioner spoke of a world in which long-standing values were shifting. The traditional east/west political split and the north/south wealth divide, he explained, were dissolving and it was countries such as India and China that were leading the way in radically transforming the balance.
The High Commissioner stated:
“Business Schools are well placed to disseminate this message out to companies and organisations within the UK. I am very excited by the opening of the James E. Lynch India and South Asia Business Centre Business. It’s a place where knowledge can be gathered, analysed, lodged and disseminated. Knowledge is a key human resource, and we need to create bridges, such as this one, to share that knowledge around. I offer my full support to the Centre.”

|
| |
 |
help the corporate world, government organisations, and academic institutions to increase their knowledge and understanding of international business and management issues related to India and South Asia |
