Delivering the keynote address Mr Ravi Venkatesan had said that, Most MNCs get trapped into the midway trap. They are unable to create required volumes by just serving the top end of the customer, and they find the bottom of the pyramid to be too price-sensitive. This is true of B-schools. Most of them get trapped into the middle of the pyramid, unable to define their value proposition clearly. They need to make strategic choices to move up the pyramid.
