“Gunjan Bagla, held spellbound the DHL management and associates in our Los Angeles office, along with many Fortune 100 customers. During his interactive story of the changes inherent within the business fabric of India in this decade, Gunjan focused on “How to profit in tomorrow’s most exciting market (India).” Bringing to light his 20+ years of direct experience guiding major multi-nationals towards market expansion on the Indian Continent, Gunjan held our audience captive as he engaged all in several hilarious rounds of the popular TV (and Film) game-show “Who wants to be a Millionaire.” Coupled with many specific company stories, Gunjan illustrated for all the often subtle and unique approaches one must take when engaging such multi-nationals in long-term strategic business relationships. His charts, graphs and market research drove home all the key points discussed. DHL was grateful to have him speak that day and will invite him back for future engagements.”
–Stephanie Joy Hughes, DHL Global Forwarding
“I have attended a number of presentations by Gunjan Bagla, as well as arranging for briefings and classes delivered by him at the Caltech Industrial Relation Center. First, he is great pleasure to work with – very well prepared, presentations grounded in deep experience, and a network of Indian business contacts that lend great relevance and timeliness to the material. He works hard and keeps up-to-date on developments in India to give solid credence to the information and the personalities that influence business there. But he is equally as dedicated to maintaining close ties with Indians in the US and with American business interests that infuse his presentations with really useful and current information for those seeking closer business ties in India.”
