Day 9
On Day 9 the students were given the wonderful opportunity to visit InfoUSA. InfoUSA's main operation centers on the creation of proprietary databases, which are then sold to businesses throughout the world. This stop was especially meaningful though, because InfoUSA's CEO and founder, Vin Gupta, is the man responsible for funding UNO's India tour. Mr. Gupta directed his generosity towards UNO because he obtained a Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Nebraska in 1972.
After InfoUSA we cruised over to InfoVision. The president of InfoVision, Aditya Gupta, gave the students a tour of the company building. Mr. Gupta also delivered a speech on the IT service sector and his company's operations within it.
Once the company tours were complete, everyone loaded onto the bus and headed off to Agra. Five hours later the group arrived at Jaypee Palace, a five star hotel located 10 minutes from the Taj Mahal. Our last night in India ended with a delicious dinner and a bit of socializing.
