The State Bank of Mysore Award

IMRDC 2013, the 5^th edition

“I attended IMRDC more than a decade ago when I was a PhD student at Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi. Due to the presentation format and having an assigned discussant, I received valuable feedback. In fact, several years later, the faculty member who discussed my paper became my colleague when I joined IIM Bangalore myself as a faculty! Overall, attending IMRDC has been a cherished experience.”
