Speaking on the occasion, Bala V Balachandran, Dean of Great Lakes Institute of Management and Chairman of Great Lakes College, said, “Great Lakes has been able to develop as one of India’s top 10 business schools in a short period of 10 years using its twin mantras of ‘Global mindsets, Indian roots’ and ‘Blending academic excellence with business relevance’. Great Lakes College will be built upon these principles and will create a world-class undergraduate experience.”

According to Parag Diwan, President of Great Lakes College, “To be a real leader in tomorrow’s world, a young student of today needs to develop three core skills: a confident personality, global perspective and a creative problem-solving attitude. Our liberal studies foundation will develop in our students an understanding and appreciation of history, culture, arts and social sciences. This helps in broadening one’s horizons and creates depth in character, giving them the confidence to express themselves effectively, on any stage.”
