Undoubtedly, being convinced of the need for a radical change in management education, we decided to tread the path that leads to corporate revolution. Emerging unarticulated needs and realities require a new approach both in terms of thought as well as action. Cross-disciplinary learning, discovering, scrutinizing, prototyping, learning to create and destroy the mind’s eye needs to be nurtured and differently so. We school has chosen the ‘design thinking’ approach towards management education. All our efforts and manifestations as a result stem from the integration of design thinking into management education. We dream to create an environment conducive to experiential learning. 2 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Readers, It gives me great pride to introduce SAMVAD’s edition every month.

    Volume 1 Issue 5 October 2018 Message to the Readers “May you live in interesting times” is a traditional Chinese curse. The period after the 2015 amendments to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 has undoubtedly been interesting times. Whether the consequent evolution of the law will turn out better for the Arbitration regime, both international and domestic, will depend on how effectively the law is likely to be implemented. The last few months have been particularly noteworthy. The applicability of the 2015 amendments to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 itself was a bone of contention before various courts. In The Board of Control for Cricket in India Vs. Kochi Cricket Pvt. Ltd., the Supreme Court categorically held that, “…Section 36 as amended should apply to Section 34 applications filed before commencement of Amended Act.” The result of this is that there is no automatic stay of the Arbitration award even if the award was made before October 2015. GOVERNING COUNCIL In Cheran Properties Limited Vs. Kasturi & Sons Ltd. and others and in Ameet Justice M.N.Venkatachaliah Former Chief Justice of India Lalchand Shah and others Vs. Rishabh Enterprises and other the Supreme Soli J. Sorabjee Court elaborated and defined the contours of certain important principles.
