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. Putting those numbers in perspective, the FMCG market in Rural India is worth 200 BN USD. Infact rural Indian market outpaces the urban India. The growth is phenomenal with mobile phone market and economical internet data.
