According to Rupesh Goel, Practice Head - Simulations at TIS, "More than just skill development, simulations and gaming are fully immersive, real-life experiences. Their impact is intense and enduring; it is not surprising that corporations worldwide have taken to simulations in a big way, and learners are embracing them eagerly because of the high engagement levels they evoke to impart real acumen in risk free surroundings. In terms of maturity, Indian companies are now set for the next level of learning, and as pioneers of e-learning and simulation design, TIS has taken the first step by partnering with ISAGA to bring this goal closer. It will be a beneficial partnership for all the stakeholders, including the International Simulation and Gaming Association - ISAGA and the Institute for Integrated learning in Management (IILM) India, who are also contributing to this event."
