Ms. Ilse Hawkins, JD,  Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio:

"The India US Business Network facilitated a unique project involving regional Ohio companies, Indian companies, and University of Cincinnati students. We worked to assist regional businesses to expand the global market for their products and develop new international partnerships. We had the opportunity to be involved in advancing a solution to a significant societal need in India. We would not have been given the opportunity if it were not for IUSBN.

I would strongly recommend that representatives of educational institutions and private industry be involved in IUSBN because the organization brings together members who possess a wide range of expertise. My students and I greatly appreciated the benefit of their experience.

There is an emphasis on providing business opportunities both for businesses located in the United States and those located in India. I would urge other professors to draw on the expertise of the IUSBN, to create additional global business opportunities for students, for Indian companies, and regional companies."
