Intaglio 2011, the annual international B-school summit hosted by the Indian Institute of Management (Calcutta), is all set to begin tomorrow.

Coinciding with the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Asia's largest B-school, the IIM-C, “Perspectives at 50… Genesis of a new tomorrow” has been the current year's theme.

This year's Intaglio will also see the introduction of “Intaglio Cares – Sunehra Kal” where the institute will contribute to the cause of women empowerment by funding the education of some girl students.

The four-day long event, beginning January 6, will act as a platform for facilitating interaction between industry mandarins, academia and government.

Speakers in this four-day long annual fest include stalwarts such as Dr Pronab Sen, Principal Advisor, Planning Commission of India, Mr Rakeysh Omprash Mehra, filmmaker, and the Delhi Chief Minister, Ms Sheila Dikshit.
