GURGAON, INDIA – Max van Cauwenberghe could be forgiven for wondering how he ended up in a place like this. Outside his office in this Delhi suburb of 1 million people, cows mill on roads with potholes that could be mistaken for meteor craters. It's late September, but the sun still broils this arid landscape at more than 90 degrees F., and a dust storm is turning the air to the consistency of sandpaper. Yet this young Belgian entrepreneur, fresh from business school, simply smiles. After all, he says, there is no place he would rather be than in India.

When I was in India last december, my friend and a signficant portion of his Harvard MBA class were touring the companies of Bangalore. However, I wonder how much these young executives learn while they are there. To me, it seemed like it was going to be a good thing to have on their resume.
