Shrestho Banerjee Shrestho Banerjee holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Jacobs University Bremen, Germany majoring in Integrated Social Sciences which comprised of Economics, Political Science, Sociology and Mass Communication. The university places its emphasis on research and given the fact that it follows a trans- disciplinary curriculum, research often if not always, assumed an intriguing persona. This is where Shrestho’s interest in research manifested especially in interlaying disciplines. Accordingly, his research interest is spread over diverse topics such as sociology and strategic management. After hist graduation in 2009, Shrestho worked in a small event management group for two years where the intense travelling to nooks and corners of Jharkhand provided him valuable insight. He could pen it down in the form of case study and the latter was accepted in the National Convention on Global Management and Responsible Leadership (CGMRL) held at XLRI in November, 2011.
