Final lunch with Shanthi, Mamtha, Kabi and Prince

We made our final presentation to our client today and everyone was really happy with our deliverables.  We had an audience of 16 people - pretty much all of the ABT executives we've worked with over the past month - it was great to see them all together in one room.  And in honor of Women's Day, we dedicated the presentation to the women farmers we've been working to help.  Everyone was very happy with our presentation, and it was clear this is big priority for the company.  We'll stay connected with our clients for at least three months after returning back to our home countries, and have provided them with a detailed roll out plan to implement our recommendations.

In addition to the ABT team, two members of IBM's Corporate Citizenship team in India flew in for the presentations and they were a great addition to the discussions.  IBM's doing some amazing things in India and their perspective really helped frame our concluding conversations.  I still can't believe we're almost at the end of the month!
