.A CITICORP INVESTEE INSTITUTION

Citicorp Venture Capital chose to invest with the management of Infinity Knowledge Systems Pvt. Ltd., the sponsors of the Infinity Business School, because we were impressed with their passion and commitment to the field of education.

Infinity lies at the core of their dream to prepare young men and women for leadership in the business world. While it aims to teach the well-established principles and practices of management, the school recognizes that excellence in management goes far beyond theoretical knowledge. The curriculum and teaching methodology are designed to provide students with a rich experience of live and relevant projects and interaction with a faculty drawn largely from successful practising business managers. In addition, there is special focus on developing the students' communication, presentation and interpersonal skills. All this in an environment that favours the use and management of computers and information technology.

I am personally excited about this initiative and have signed up to do my utmost towards making Infinity one of India's premier business schools.

.CHAIRMAN'S NOTE

Over the next decade, technology will bring about more radical changes in the way we conduct business, entertain, educate and indeed, even the way we think. This change will expose our lives to a high rate of flux, which will increase risk and redefine the conventional paradigms of risk management. Technology would be mutant during this period, converging constantly, driving the most sophisticated hardware and durables of today obsolescent, in the shortest-ever product life cycles.

The "Network Effect" is already shrinking global cultures and collapsing geographical boundaries. It has entered commerce on a business-to-business basis but it will percolate to the consumer over the next ten years. Education will be available at will anytime and anywhere through distance learning programs. Financial information would travel globally in nanoseconds and literacy rates would soar around the globe.

Marketing rules will be rewritten as the world copes with the new electronic distribution channels. Brand loyalties will be re-challenged as advantages of physical location and capital mitigate. The average customer would not only have a large choice but also a comparative analysis of the products available. Never before would have global marketeers faced better-informed and better-educated consumers.

Information was the most valuable commodity of the last millennium. Its analysis will be the most valuable resource of the new millennium. Power derived from access to information will be largely diminished by the Internet cult. Its quicker and better analysis will discern the winners from the losers.

I have no doubt, therefore, that the empires of the future will be empires of the mind. The capacity of the new conglomerate will be the imagination of its management team. Whereas it is easy to define the capacity of the old economy companies, the capacity of the new millennium corporate would be driven by the vision and technology savvy of its management. It is in recognition of this new ethos, that the Infinity Business School is being launched, with the knowledge that the potential of the mind is infinite.
