Participants´ comments

Subsequent to the program, we have been advocating amongst ourselves, as to how motivated we are through the Capstone Business Simulation. I am sure we will have that task reminding, driving and inspiring us on the ethical and competitive business practices as long as business feels we are relevant to it. Chakravarthy J.S.K, TCS

This workshop is an excellent means of learning and experiencing the business functioning. I must say this is the best. I strongly recommend we consider rolling out this in Snacks unit and you may want to integrate this with our leadership building programs. Mr. Dharam, the facilitator for this Capstone branded program in India conducted this in a very professional and praiseworthy fashion. N. Srinivasulu, PEPSI

Excellent experience. Helped understand all functions of a business enterprise. The course was enjoyable and helped cap off all the MBA learnings. An excellent simulation game that helped evaluate our theoretical knowledge. PGPX, IIMA

Although I have a B-School background the Capstone Simulation absolutely improved and deepened my insights in the financial metrics that drive business. Mathieu PM Griffioen, TCS

It was definitely a very good experience, and at the end of the day, I realize that a simulation of this nature can really help open the mind to think aloud, make decisions stand by them and learn from one’s own mistakes. At all times, one must also be aware of competition which never loses a chance to take over, very much similar to real life as well. The challenge is to learn from this simulated environment and apply to real life, and I think that is what the final take away must be, not just in terms of business but also how we work and interact in our operating space each day, and how aware we must be to our environment. Ranjita Ghosh, WIPRO

It was a wonderful experience to have been associated with you. It was a great learning experience and I took some real life lessons from the workshop, especially around time being essence of success and always making sure the product is of quality and make the right investments at the right time. All these are within our control while the others may not be. It has really helped me think of competition in a different perspective. Vijay Sargunar, TCS

his is the best training I ever had. The training is so real world simulation. I encourage & urge all leaders to take this training. Dharam gave real world examples that helped grasp things better. I must admit his energy, patience and attitude. Vivek Hippargi, Wipro

“I attended a CAPSTONE® Business Simulation course where Dharam was the moderator. The way Dharam moderated the course was exemplary. He led the groups through the simulation with the kind of ease that only a seasoned professional and business manager can achieve. Those 3 days of training added value to me and it possibly would not have been half as effective without Dharam.” V Prasad, Tata Interactive Systems

t was a great learning experience and this is one the best trainings ever I have come across. It kept us on our toes all time after few rounds like we were running a real life business. Dharam had been a constant source of inspiration all the time with his expert guidance and die hard attitude. Harish Shivanani, Wipro

We had a whale of a time and outstanding inputs. I can assure you that all of us have brought back to the workplace some thoughts, some insights which should hopefully make us better managers in the days to come. Anish Roy, Pepsi

The program was really an excellent one. We learned those complex concepts in a very interesting and funny way. In fact immediately after coming to office I started doing some rehearsal with the 8th round results as I couldn’t control myself the temptations. I need to mention here about the first day morning session which was very interesting. The LIVE examples (I want to stress this word as the examples are from the current business environment) were really good and added value to our understanding. In short, you and capstone gave us a fantastic and excellent program. Ahamed Mydeen, Wipro

Will take this opportunity to thank you for your really great sessions. It has been particularly helpful to me since I dint know much of the jargons. Jitin Agarwal, TCS

Yes, really we enjoyed the program and it was challenging, fun and educative. I was analyzing the strategies even in my dreams for the last two days… Sairam Ramaswamy, Wipro

Dear Dharam, We never knew learning could be so much fun. Until we met you. Thanks for the wonderful experience. Participants, Feb ’05 Capstone® Open Workshop, India

I second all the nice feedback from our colleagues. For me too it was one of the best trainings. In terms of hands-on, it was the best ever. Thanks to everyone for all your contribution. My special thanks to Dharam and his colleagues who made it happen.’ Dhananjayam Selva, Wipro

Hi dharam: It was a memorable experience. You guidance, tips and (of course) the style of conveying messages is remarkable. Chirag Dhebar, TCS
