John R. Coleman, Ford Foundation, New Delhi, had written a letter dated April 29, 1961 stating that partnering with UCLA was a 'final' decision, after he realized that Vikram Sarabhai had reached out to Harvard. Sarabhai argued for the Institute's right to determine who its partner should be. Ultimately, IIMA partnered with HBS.

This notice illustrates the faculty-driven nature of Harvard Business School's internal processes. Sarabhai's visit on April 26, 1962 was an opportunity to the faculty members to ask questions about the Institute or 'about India generally'.
