TESTIMONIALS

what people say

“As always, it was a great pleasure and a wonderful experience to meet people from diverse backgrounds at the RISE event……. I think lot of ideas came up in terms of employee engagement and it was quite a gain for me to know about how other companies view employee engagement and how serious this business is all about. So it was a wonderful experience and I thank Idobro for this.”
ANAGHA MAHAJANI
General Manager CSR (Programme Research & Monitoring) Ambuja Cement Foundation
“I enjoyed all round-tables conducted here. ..The ways these round-tables were conducted was totally different from the normal round-tables. I believe at the end of the roundtable conference, all participants had something to take away with them, their experience which they have shared, the knowledge which they have exchanged on the platform and the network they had created ……a synergy for execution of social projects.”
DR. NIRMALA JOSHI
Research Head
MET Institute of Management
The RISE World Summit was really great – a unique overall type of non-conference convening. I really liked the holistic / integrated approach – including its discussions, workshops, film screenings, etc. Thank you for inviting me!
IMRANA Y. KHERA
Innovation and Partnership - Mumbai Lead, USAID/India - Center for Innovation and Partnership
“RISE , I thought was a very different, a very engaging platform that I really enjoyed. …..I think when we design the programme…or the topic is designed, it should be such that it is easy to discuss and come out with certain suggestions at the end of that one and a half or two hours …Otherwise I think it has been a very enjoyable day.”
BEROZ GAZDAR
Vice President
Mahindra & Mahindra
““I had this golden opportunity to be part of the round table discussion on employee engagement and needless to say the session was very exciting and the session actually gave out solutions, which generally doesn’t happen with most of the sessions wherein it is just talk, talk and talk.. .It was overall a very useful session, a fruitful discussion..””
BESSY FELIX
Cipla Foundation
“I attended the Idobro RISE 2015 Round-table Conference on Diabetes and Eye care. It was fantastic. I really liked the people who had been invited, the kind of discussion that happened, the outcome of it…on how important it is to create awareness about diabetes and eye care. ….Hats off to the team and the volunteers. Great going. Best of luck. ”
