Indian way of conflict avoidance isn't by brute force but power of dialogue." "The IIM community is one of the brightest but one of the most busy group of people. The excellent work prospects also bring with it stressful routines. I would urge them all to devote time to Yoga. You will see the positive difference it brings," he added.
