Being a person with cerebral palsy, life was not easy for Siddharth. He had to encounter a number of hurdles.

Thereafter Dr. Kalam went on to mention Siddharth's name on many occasions & forums including the ‘World Disability Day’.

L'Attitude 2011 - 3BL, People, Planet, Profit

The motto of Great Lakes – “Global mindset, Indian roots” - is inspired by India’s civilization values of inclusiveness. From antiquity when the Indus valley civilization spread through centuries across the land, till Tagore, Gandhi and beyond, growth of this nation has been singularly marked by absorption and assimilation of all cultures and beliefs- a philosophy that “Great Lakes” has thus adopted. 

The Institute founded by Dr. Bala V Balachandran in 2004, is one of India’s premier business schools. Based in Chennai, Great lakes is an incubator for business leaders of the future. The institute is guided by czars of the corporate world and academia. Our Business advisory council is headed by Mr. Ratan Tata and is made up of luminaries like Mr. N.R. Narayan Murthy and Ms Indra Nooyi. 

 
L’Attitude 1305, of Great Lakes, Chennai, is one of the most awaited events of the academic year, which attracts the brightest minds from premier B-schools across the world. The fest is a potpourri of students and people and representatives from the industry. Experience and the diversity of participants provides for a great learning opportunity.

We are proud to announce this edition of L’Attitude 1305 would be inaugurated by the Former President, Honourable Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, on the 6th of January 2011 in the institute’s sprawling 27 acre platinum rated (LEED) green campus.

This mega event encompasses competitions drawn from various spheres of management education such as Marketing, Finance, Operations, Strategy and Human Resources.

Highlights of the event, to be held on the 6th - 7th January 2011 are:

·         CEO Conclave – Eminent CEOs from industry discuss contemporary issues with students.

·         Corporate Quiz – Teams from B-schools pitted against teams from the corporate world in a battle of brains.
