IIM Grads have jumped into the election bandwagon. People like Meera Sanyal and Sarath Babu have entered the election fray by contesting as Independents from South Mumbai and Chennai respectively. I appreciate their sincerity in thought in bringing about a change and reform the country. But can they bring about a change? That's a million-dollar question?
To bring about a change as a law maker, they need to win which is impossible. I request all such sanyals and babus to begin from the grass root level and bring about a change. Bring about a change in your locality. Adopt a locality. Leverage your contacts. Get the local community's support. Improve the infrastructure. Provide all basic amenities and transform it. Show case this to the community. Stand in the municipal elections. You will definitely win. Now do what you have done to your locality to your ward. Then contest an assembly election. Bring about a change in an assembly constituency and then aim for Parliament!!
The hype around sanyals and babus is bound to fade after their defeat in the LS elections. IIM Grads head almost all major MNC firms in India. There are about 1000 major firms in India which are headed by IIM grads. I request these honchos to adopt a village every year as part of their company's CSR initiatives. Improve the basic amenities in the village. Transform it to a world class village!! To begin with, they can adpot their own native village and change it completely!!

i cant help but be a bit cynical of the sanyals,babus and the gopinaths.
honestly,what kind of commitment r they showing by coming on a one month subbaticle.
Just feel its yet another attemnpt to show the worl "we care too" and may not actually mean much to you and me..
maybe am a bit too cynical,but honestly find it tough to believe that they are the levers of change for this country
Completely Agree! All said and done, regional parties do something for their cadre and the cadre have a clear benefit. Of course, it may not be very efficient.
Public administration is a lot of "dirty", hands on work. These candidates have not demonstrated that at all.
