Now since Neo2000 cannot make it to the meet, I would require any one of you as a volunteer for the meet. If you're from Mumbai, interested in the Meet and generally idle on July 5th, please PM me with your phone number and I'll contact you!
- The Meet starts at 3 pm at Barista, Regal Cinema, Colaba Market. We can meet and interact with each other for over two hours here. Those who cannot make it to the Meet at 3 pm, please Read on.
- At 5 pm, we'll all leave for the World MBA Tour at Taj Mahal Hotel, Apollo Bunder. The next couple of hours, you guys might like to visit and meet the participating Business Schools and ask your questions to them.
- Around 6:30-7 pm, we will move back to Barista, where we continue the Meet along with those who have streamed in later. We can continue here until we are fed up of each other
and/or have flights/girlfriends/boyfriends/dinner to catch.
Directions to Barista, Colaba from Airport/wherever
- Take a direct Taxi to Colaba Market, near Regal Cinema. Everybody knows Regal Cinema at Colaba.
- Barista is just next to Regal Cinema
- Come to Mumbai CST Station via Local/Taxi and go towards the GPO side of the station.
- Right in front of the GPO, a street called Modi Street enters the Fort area. Landmark - a Sugarcane Juice stall and a PCO-cum-Travel-Agent booth at the mouth of the street. Walk into Modi Street.
- About 100 m into the street, look for a large blue billboard on your left that reads 'Star Enterprises'.
- Take the steps below the billboard to the 3rd floor to reach us.
Feel free to ask/PM for any queries!

Would love to attend!
What time would the PG meet be? I think the world MBA tour runs from 5 pm to 9 pm. Will the PG meet be in parallel?
Parallel would be correct
We all are coming to the fair and then planning to go for dinner or coffee after it.
Neo/Apurv,
a request for correction:
My name is wrongly put under Darden. I was not admitted to Darden. Rather, I was admitted to Duke.
Not fair!!!
Dilli waalo ka bhi kuch khayal karo 😞
ill try my level best to make it guys. i dont want to miss an opprtunity like this.
By the way, amazing photos there apurv. are those from ur new cam??
Come one.. come all .. . meet the puys in all their splendor. See how nitwits like me can get to a bschool .. and get to meet other gurus
Not fair!!!
Dilli waalo ka bhi kuch khayal karo :(
Why don't Delhi guys have their own initiative? We'll help with all the support we can give :).
For starters, the Delhi Summer Tour is on July 7. Many PG users will be already coming there. All you have to do is formalize it here as a PG Meet, identify people in Delhi with admits, get them to the Meet after attending the Tour.
PM me if you're game for handling this.

Hi Apporv
What About Students In Delhi I.e. Gmat Aspirants
dilli walo, kahe ka fair and not fair 😉
your GMAT delhi thread was dormant for more than year. NO active participation from delhi puys
how would we know any delhi admits 
OK here's a deal- you come up with list of applicants last year from delhi and I'll volunteer for arranging da meet and bet it'll be as good as Mumbai meet.
how would we know any delhi admits
simple - sweep the PG admits thread ;)
