Doing Business in and With India

DWC India offers students a hands-on and culturally immersive experience to gain firsthand insight into the business workings of one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Delhi, the political and cultural heart of India, is home to vibrant industries like textiles, retail, and hospitality. It presents a unique blend of established enterprises, a burgeoning startup ecosystem, and a large informal economy, offering a nuanced view of how entrepreneurship and regulation interact. In contrast, Bangalore, widely recognized as India’s Silicon Valley, serves as a hub for global technology firms and high-growth startups. Here, students will explore themes around digitalization, talent pipelines, infrastructure, and the challenges and opportunities of doing business in a rapidly urbanizing metropolis.

In this course, students will:

• Gain firsthand exposure to India’s diverse business ecosystems and the ways that culture, innovation, and policy play a role in economic development.
• Interact with local informal establishments, dynamic startups, and established multinational firms to understand how entrepreneurs and business leaders navigate this unique economy.
• Immerse yourself in experiencing the iconic cities of Delhi, home of Indian Parliament and a prominent commercial hub; and Bangalore, the "Silicon Valley of India."
• Bridge practical experience with academic insight by complementing the DWC with a Q4 elective, "India in the Global Economy," for a deeper analysis of India’s role in the global marketplace.
