De Baak in India

India is a country that appeals to all the senses. A visit to India provokes a strong reaction in most people: they either love it or sometimes they hate it. You can’t take India for granted; an encounter with India changes you as a person and the way you perceive things.

De Baak has a special relation with India because, like no other country, India appeals to the part of de Baak related to the 'human side' of business. India has a long history of seeking wisdom and enlightenment and even the most devote rationalists are touched by the country's spiritual forces. For Indians, personal and spiritual development is a normal part of daily life and religion is not regarded as holy or secret, as it is by most Dutch people. They have hundreds of happy and angry gods with human characteristics, including both good and bad elements, which people pray to on all different occasions. But Indians accept that there are things in life beyond their control and beyond matter; not rational, mystical, but of great influence. On the other hand, discipline is key to making the most of life and we have an obligation to develop and display our own good selves.

So the traditions of de Baak and India connect perfectly with our quest to become people who actively and consciously seek to further our development in order to make personal and sustainable contributions to this world. India also has an entrepreneurial spirit that de Baak recognizes, with all the classic similarities and differences.
