synopsis On 19 January 2021, India scaled a peak. History was written. Fortress Gabba in Brisbane was breached by an Indian side that hardly managed to put together eleven fit players on the field for the fourth and final test match against Australia, playing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
How did the Indian team rise from an abysmal low of 36 all-out
in the first test at Adelaide and going down 0-1, to storm the Australian bastion of Gabba and end up victors in the four-test series by 2-1? How did a depleted Indian team with a bunch of rookies upset the vastly experienced and mighty Australians in their own backyard? What made the Indian side believe in themselves and achieve the nearimpossible feat? How often do we face a similar situation of being in dire straits in business and hope for turning around the situation? What lessons can the business world pick from this scintillating Gabba win and surge ahead with confidence? Tune into the high-profile panel discussion organised by Madras Management Association on February 5, 2021 at 06.00 pm on the theme, "Management Lessons from Gabba." Dr Sumant C Raman who wears several hats such as Health Care Expert, Quiz Master, Sports Commentator, TV Anchor and Panelist for TV discussions will be in conversation with Syed Kirmani, Lakshman Sivaramakrishnan and Sharath Kamal Achanta This is a "not-to-be-missed" MMA Event!.
