US B-school woos India Inc for jobs

Updated on: Tuesday, November 08, 2011

With the American economy looking weak, universities, including the Ivies, are looking to prospective employees in the East. For one, the Yale School of Management is here to woo companies to participate in this year’s recruitment process.

Edward Snyder, the B-school’s dean, was in Mumbai on Monday, with students’ resumes to explore possibilities with potential employers.

Tata, Mahindra & Mahindra and Wockhardt have hired Yale MBAs earlier, so have companies such as Mckinsey and Morgan Stanley. “I wanted to meet people who might be interested in employing our students so I am carrying the resume books of students who are interested in jobs in India,” said Snyder.

Most of these students are Indian or first-generation immigrants. “We see a similar phenomenon with students interested in Brazil, south-east Asia and China.”

Recruitment will be through a process of networking. The B-school has around 225 students per batch, with Indians accounting for 10% of the total, forming the largest contingent of international pupils.
