Last Week Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit, was on his maiden visit to India since he took over the global financial giant in 2007.His first stop was in Mumbai, where Citigroup hosted a cocktail reception in the glittering ballroom of the Taj Mahal Palace so he could meet some of his largest revenue generators, the firm's clients. He was in Delhi for the next two days (March 3rd & 4th, 2011) attending the spring meeting of the International Institute of Finance.
Pandit addressed the town hall style meeting in Delhi at the Imperial hotel, aglitter under three enormous chandelier, men and women from business schools across the city listened, with students from other cities beaming in via a videoconference feed. A total of 20 students represented DMS IIT Delhi in this meet.
And then started the volley of hard questions which were eventually handled pretty well by Mr. Pandit. Students in the audience were thrilled to be interacting with Pandit. Lokesh Bahety from DMS, IIT Delhi who has an internship lined up at Citigroup, applauded the wide variety of questions Pandit addressed. "The questions were from all verticals, and Sir took a lot of time to answer them," he said after the event.
