The past year has been a trying time for the world economy led by the crash of the giants of American business and the trickle down effect has now reached India. The result has been the slowdown in growth and the accompanying malaise of job loss and depression. The downturn has come as a reminder to all of us that we cannot take the good times for granted and that we must be prepared to take on the lean times with courage and determination.

At Indira we feel this is a particularly opportune time to learn to take the tough times by the horns and sharpen our skills to meet just such eventualities. After all, there is nothing better than learning on-the job, and what can be better than learning to outdo the slowdown when it is actually happening. This will surely give the ambitious student the wherewithal to overcome and finally emerge a winner when the dark clouds of depression eventually fade away.
