Testimonials
The FaB network event brought me face- to- face with India’s finest business leaders, who shared their experiences and in-turn gave invaluable wealth of knowledge on building & managing family businesses in complex, unstructured and emotion driven business environments. It was an incredible experience to hear them in a very candid, yet poised manner. Brilliant experience. Longing for the next one

Family owned businesses are very different from corporate houses, because, in spite of being no less in innovation and growth, they are unique in their way of management, their own unique issues and solutions to such issues. The Family Business networking events and round tables have been great learning experiences for me. They were a great platform to discuss the very typical challenges and issues faced in family owned businesses and learn about current trends, innovations, successions, and management structures in such businesses

It was indeed amazing to listen to His Holiness share his teachings on profound Ancient Indian wisdom, Secular ethics and Spirituality in a way one can relate to and in times when most of the world is yearning for peace in midst of so much of stress and conflict in day-to-day lives. Great inaugural event of Vidyaloke. And many thanks to FAB network for opening the doors.
