When executive education students go on field trips to India, they usually head to big corporate headquarters in cities such as Bangalore, where they can see the country's high-tech industry at work. They do not often find themselves walking the streets of Mumbai, following a group of delivery men dressed in white cotton kurtas and Gandhi caps and carrying tins of curry, rice and chapattis.
But this is what a group of financiers found themselves doing as part of an executive education programme designed by Duke Corporate Education. And Duke CE is not the only institution to have become interested in the work of these delivery men.
