Global Impact Project 2024
September 2, 2024
DoCC welcomed students from EDHEC Business School as part of their Global Impact Project 2024. The cohort includes eight participants with diverse backgrounds who will work with civil society organisations across India, addressing critical issues such as water, education, animal rights, and women’s empowerment. In her welcome address Prof. Chandrika Parmar, Director of DoCC at SPJIMR, encouraged the students to embrace challenges with courage and heart. She emphasised the importance of breaking down barriers, defying expectations, and expanding one’s understanding of humanity and empathy through these experiences.
Mr. Mayeul Coulon-Berretrot, Scientific and Academic Cooperation Officer – French Embassy in India / Ambassade de France en Inde, and Nilesh Gaikwad, Country Manager – India, EDHEC Business School, joined the opening session. Mr. Berretrot discussed the project’s unique learning opportunity, which enabled students to understand real-world issues and contribute to the broader Indo-French cooperation. SPJIMR alumnus Sparsh Modi, Management trainee, Zepto addressed the cohort and shared valuable experiences from his social internship.
SPJIMR looks forward to the positive impact and growth that will result from this incredible journey.
