We (the family) are getting ready to move to Minneapolis where I'll be joining the faculty at the Carlson School of Management at the U of M (as they call it, or if you are from Minnesota just plainly the "U"). Two years have flown by at the ISB and (through what I must admit was some very broad minded thinking by the U of M and ISB administration) I'm glad that I'll continue to direct CITNE, our fledgling research centre at the ISB.
Perceivably, this is a move against the tides. Away from the emerging lands of opportunity. Someday I'll get into the details of why and what prompted these moves. Something probably every US grown Indian academic considers doing (I think the broader immigrant reverse migration story has a different narration than our narrow segment of academics) at some stage.
As of now, I'm getting a rousing farewell. Four of my Mayo friends and their families are descending into the Twin Cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad starting tomorrow morning. Looking forward to a fun weekend!
