“My main interest in this summer

school was the exclusive sessions by faculty and other

resource persons, which I really enjoyed. Everything

organised by the Organizing Committee members was

accurate. I get to learn a lot from the faculty of different

fields with their extensive practise knowledge overall. I

enjoyed the summer school.”

Indian Business and Commercial Laws, even

more than I initially expected. The lecturers were

really good and definitely knew how to share

their knowledge with people who were

unfamiliar with the legal system of India”----
