This morning our main
sponsor Accenture gave us an impressive overview of their business fields
around the world. In India they are one of the top employers. More than 90’000
people are working for accenture just in India. We have been told about the
differences, how Accenture recruits young talents in India and how they do in
Switzerland. The highlight of this morning was a video call from an employee
who works for Accenture in Bangalore. He told us about his daily work at the
office and we also had the chance to ask questions.
After lunch we had a distinguished
visitor. Dr. Nagendra Prasad the ambassador of the Indian embassy. He told us
some interesting facts about the cooperation between India and Switzerland.
Later on Bernhard
Fischer, who represented the Swiss Indian Chamber of Commerce, gave us an
impressive overview of his childhood in India and gave us further details how
the Indian-Swiss commercial relationship developed and improved over time.
At the end of a
fantastic day, Edward Schwarz from Holcim presented some mind-blowing projects
which have been realized in emerging countries to provide pore people with
toilets, fluent water and electricity in a simple way. He was followed by
Elsbeth Müller from Unicef. She spoke about the poverty in India, especially
about the gap between girl’s and boy’s rights in the rural regions of India.
