Nikhil Kamath and the full circle of his MBA controversy (inframe: Nikhil Kamath)
Nikhil Kamath shows up at Columbia Business School in New York for some India Conference.
He was then put on the spot by a MBA student who brought up his earlier criticism of MBA degrees. “A few months ago, you said if you are 25 and getting your MBA, you must be some kind of idiot,” she said, pointing out that many in the room were business (MBA) students and questions him (politely) why he chose to attend such an event if he sees no value in business education.
Nikhil responded “300 grand for your MBA course. So this room, if it has 500 people here, you have spent $90 million to be in this room. I hope knowing the rich kids of India of tomorrow has some value to me in the future. Hence, I’m here.”
Well..his math wasn’t mathing but the audience was forgiving ;)
Do you guys agree …. She was 💯 right is asking him… “Why are you even here?”
