India is a vast South Asian country with diverse terrain – from Himalayan peaks to Indian Ocean coastline – and history reaching back 5 millennia. In the north, Mughal Empire landmarks include Delhi’s Red Fort complex and massive Jama Masjid mosque, plus Agra’s iconic Taj Mahal mausoleum. Pilgrims bathe in the Ganges in Varanasi, and Rishikesh is a yoga centre and base for Himalayan trekking.

Mumbai is a densely-populated city on India’s west coast. A financial centre, it’s India’s largest city. The city is also famous as the heart of the Bollywood film industry.

- The Fourth C- Suite Seminar Synopsis
Theme: Attaining and Sustaining Peak Performance
Debate still rages as to whether organizational and individual objectives can ever be perfectly synchronized for maximum value creation. A working fit between the needs of organizations and those who work in them is necessary for attaining and sustaining peak performance. Progress on organizational objectives is often reported through management accounts, corporate strategic plan reports, annual financial reports and statements while peak performance is evaluated relative to the industry or market that one operates in. Actions of Industry Captains and other leaders in organizations occur in a cultural context hence our choice of India, a nation and a people famed for a strong work ethic.
