The fact finding mission will go on till 15th May

My good friend Rukesh Patel who works at Brainvisa, Pune as Learning Consultant, pointed me to a seminar happening on Disruptive Innovation in Mumbai and Delhi. Disruptive Innovation phrase was coined by Clayton M. Christensen, and he himself will be delivering this seminar to think beyond the usual and achieve your dream. It promises thought provoking ideas never heard of before. Rukesh thinks very high of Clayton who offers revolutionary ideas that can change the way you do business, and strongly recommends ambitious entrepreneurs to attend this seminar.
