Mark Inglis, who scaled Mount Everest without legs in 2006, will visit the city for a day on November 28.
Inglis is the world's first double amputee to scale the highest peak in the world. He is also an accomplished cyclist, and won a silver medal at the Sydney Paralympic Games in 2000.
Inglis is also the author of a bestselling book, "No Legs On Everest", that details his conquest of Everest.
Inglis will be in the city on an invitation from the Woxsen School of Business. Woxsen will host him for the inaugural session of the Woxen Leadership Series. He will visit the Woxsen School of Business campus on the city outskirts to address Woxsenites and other invitees from the corporate world on November 28.
Inglis will address the students on the theme "Leadership In Turbulent Times". The remarkable story of how a double amputee from New Zealand made it to the top of Mt Everest and back down again will be an inspirational story to many of Woxsen's students and invited guests.
Inglis lost his legs in 1982 during a summit attempt on Mt Cook. Inglis, along with his climbing partner, was stuck in an ice cave for 14 days when they were forced to seek shelter to escape a storm, and lost both his legs due to frostbite.
Entry is free but strictly by invitation. Those who wish to attend can call 040-44448888 for the invitation. For more details log in to www.woxsen.edu.in.
