Here is what Shriya Lall has to say about organizing the Indo-US entrepreneurship panel.

Why did you plan this panel?
I feel that there are many entrepreneurs at Chicago Booth and they would like to hear from seasoned entrepreneurs about their experiences, challenges and resources that they used.

What would the panel discussion revolve around?
The focus of the panel is two fold:
1) To talk about the challenges Indians face in setting up business in America
2) To talk about the changing face of Indo-American business and discuss where this is heading

How did you go about choosing the panellists?
I wanted a good mix of entrepreneurs from different industries. Additionally I wanted to work with entrepreneurs that had a specific India focus and could talk about the issues mentioned above. They all are high achievers and will be able to give great advice to any entrepreneurs interested in setting up his/her business in America.
