    I was chosen by IBM to take part in the "Corporate Service Corps" volunteering program. The IBM Corporate Service Corps selects top management prospects and then trains and dispatches these leaders to emerging markets around the world. Participants spend four weeks in groups of 10 to 15 to help solve economic and social problems of their selected communality. Teams work collaboratively with their government and community counterparts to understand how to implement socially responsible business practices with measurable results in a global context.
    Within this program, I was sent for 1 month to Mysore (south of India), to consult the government of India (Ministry of Rural Development, MoRD). Our team mission was to learn and give recommendations on how to improve the DDU-GKY (Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana) training and placement initiative, aimed to to build the capacity of rural poor youth to address the needs of global skill requirements.
