KOLKATA: A group of 35 management students from IIT Kharagpur���s Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSOM) is all set to meet legendary billionaire Warren Buffett. This is part of a two-week student exchange programme organised by VGSOM.
Students are scheduled to visit Omaha and New York in May. They will attend the AGM of Berkshire Hathway and meet its CEO Warren Buffett.
A media release issued by IIT Kharagpur said: ���Students would have the rare opportunity to listen, ask questions and learn from Buffett.��� After spending a week in Omaha, the team will then proceed to New York. There, the students will have a glimpse of Nasdaq operations. The US visit is in reciprocation to a visit by students of the University of Omaha to IIT Kharagpur last year.
The students will also visit the headquarters of the Citigroup in New York. The student exchange tour is the brainchild of Vinod Gupta, an Omaha-based alumnus of IIT Kharagpur.
