Following this, Manoshi Roy Chowdhury, co-chancellor, Techno India University and Meghdut Roy Chowdhury, chief innovation officer and executive director of Techno India Group and founder of Make Calcutta Relevant Again introduced ASMI Business School. ‘I genuinely believe that business is very hard to teach in the classroom. It’s what happens when you’re out there interacting with people, networking, and learning from those who can help catapult the learning ten times through one conversation than what an entire semester of class can teach you. That was the whole reason why we started the school, and it gives me a lot of joy and pleasure to know that we were able to host this incredible session,’ said Meghdut
