At WeSchool, we have consistently studied the needs in Management Education so as to design new programs to suit a new league of talent in Corporate Inc. Eight years ago, WeSchool identified the rising potential of ruralIndia and launched a niche program with a vision “to create corporate managers with Rural insights” in 2010. A recent study says that the Rural India is set grow bigger in 12 years than the entire consumer market in South Korea.
