India

Over the past decades, thanks to rapid economic growth, millions of Indians escaped poverty. Now India is suffering the impact of the global economic crisis.

Much remains to be done, however, as poverty is still pervasive.

Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women Initiative

Since November 2007, GBSN has been working closely with Goldman Sachs and the Goldman Sachs Foundation to develop and implement the 10,000 Women Initiative. GBSN has supported the identification of academic partners globally to participate in 10,000 Women. In addition, GBSN advises the Goldman Sachs Foundation on international best practice in enhancing and supporting business education in developing countries and establishing short-term entrepreneurship education programs.

Food for Thought

“The global crisis is not just a problem with mortgage systems and the regulation of banks in one country with a domino effect into many others. It also forces universities and business schools to ask questions about the nature of business and management education, and the issues of ethics we incorporate.”

–Max Price, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Town
