Dr BL Maheshwari

1935-2009
Founder

Dr BL Maheshwari championed excellence in organization development, leadership and positive change throughout his career. He was passionate about building strong, resilient, adaptable and successful companies through expert advisory, research and training services.

Believing that focused professional work would be more impactful in a small, specialized institution, Dr Maheshwari set up COD as an independent public non-profit with no government or corporate affiliations.

OUR MISSION

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
