The Cricket Cup event held recently was one of the best events I have attended. CIO’s Of India was determined and ensured that everyone is engaged and no one feels left out. The enthusiasm of President made this event a true family event.No one can say it was primarily a cricket event of the CIOs of India,it was an event of their wives-it was an event of their children who felt specially involved and engaged. My Mom, who is 70 years old , enjoyed the momentum too! The team in the background ensured we make a point to be at the event.The way of engaging in gifts for everyone was very innovative. Amazingly planned and executed event. Take a bow .. the entire team and EC council.
Regarding Finance for Tech Leaders course at DMS, IIT, Delhi (14-15,21-22 September 2019)
I am excited about the things I have learned in this course in a short period of time. It has given me lot of information on Finance.In today’s business environment it has become very essential for Executives to get a Firm grip on Financial knowledge to make informed business decisions.I found the course to be very helpful in my career as an C Level Executive. Thanks to CIOs Of India and Faculties for the most dynamic course I will probably ever take. I would highly recommend the course to everyone who wants to gain knowledge on Finance.
