“The event at SDA Bocconi was quite relevant to today’s digital revolution, where legacy and modern technologies play an important part in deciding the success or failure of a business. The discussion was extremely interesting and brought about different points of views in a simple and effective manner. I must compliment the center for bringing together specialists in their fields and for the excellent organization of the event. While the technology used to play an important role in a business enterprise, today, technology has become the backbone of any enterprise, or in other words, the technology is the enterprise.” Venkat Iyer, EVP & Sales Director, Maistering -Augmenting Masters
The institution for the first time hosted an event that aims to further amalgamate the seemingly blurring line between Business and Technology since its inception in 2011 at the only offshore presence of SDA Bocconi in Milan- Mumbai. The Business Technology Club (BTC) as a student-run body strives and aims to empower the future leaders with the technological acumen that is disrupting the business and will continue to do so even more in the future.
We at SDABAC look forward to continuing with the motive of – “empowering lives through knowledge and imagination” by organizing similar endeavors in the coming days also.
