May 06 - Business Visits in Bangalore

The study group left Chennai to Bangalore early morning. The flight started from Chennai at 7:50 AM. Though the flight time was only 45 minutes, the passengers were provided with a snack pack. The group reached Bangalore on time (8:45 AM) and was picked up by a "Mercury Travels - Bangalore" representative. The group went directly to AOL India and spent around 3.5 hours there. The group got to meet the General Manager (The top executive at AOL India) and three other vice presidents who directly reported to the General Manager. The presentations were very informative and the students asked great thought-provoking questions to these executives. After the meeting at AOL India, the group had lunch at a Chinese restaurant in the same office complex. After lunch, the group visited Intel India. Intel was located at the the next office complex. The group met with two executives working with the Intel Design Team. The discussion were kept more informal and revolved around the questions asked by students. Again, our students asked some intriguing questions that focused on Intel operation within the India context. The group reached the hotel "Royal Orchid Central" at around 6:30 PM and checked-in to the hotel.
