Goldman Sachs Global Leaders in Mumbai: Turning dreams into reality

Today’s students will be working in a global marketplace and living in a global society. In order to succeed and to become leaders in this new world, they must acquire a far different set of knowledge, skills and perspectives than previous generations. They must be prepared to trade with, work alongside and communicate with persons from radically different backgrounds than their own. They must be trained to understand and confront complex new global threats, from terrorism to a global flu pandemic.

Keeping this in mind Goldman Sachs came up with Global Leaders Program in the year 2001 in US and this program came to India in the year 2006 to India. In 2006, 24 students were selected from India and now in 2007, this number rose to 29.
