" In 2013, she went to the French business school INSEAD in Fontainebleau. That’s not all, Paridhi Adani also attended the traditional finishing school Institut Villa Pierrefeu in Montreux, Switzerland."
Interesting that she attended INSEAD and not an LLM course. It shows that the Shroffs value a B-school education more and perhaps more law grads should think about it? The finishing school information is also interesting. People on LI constantly discuss the right watch to wear, right wine to drink etc. Even super-rich people like the Shroffs want their children to know these things and take them seriously. According to the website of the fishing school, they offer a course on International Etiquette (though for ladies only). https://ivpworld.com/
The topics are:
Etiquette
---------
Around the table - European etiquette
-------------------------------------
Floral Art and Table Decoration
-------------------------------
International Drinks Culture
----------------------------
Entertaining
------------
Business Etiquette
-------------------
Official and Diplomatic Protocol
---------------------------------
International Savoir-Vivre
---------------------------
Thus, this vindicates two common topics of discussion on LI. Maybe it's time lawyers (both male and female) in India attend such courses? I can see a lot of people paying big bucks for such a course.

Another reason is that guys are judged less harshly. A tech bro can walk into a high society party wearing jeans and sneakers, order Jack and Coke, wear streets brands, talk loudly. People will actually praise him for being a maverick. If a girl does that then she will be crucified.
you would not find any of the European royals (even the most minor ones) send their kids to these places, they would go to select private schools in Swiss cantons (also known as prep schools) and then the more academic of them would do graduation from France or US or oxbridge. The academically challenged ones will be sent to agriculture college or the Indian equivalent of ITI in Spain. After this they would either join royal duties or join a private bank as relationship manager for UHNIs (read billionaires).
As for INSEAD, contacts made there are more valuable than contacts made during an LLM.
She did not do an MBA from INSEAD, she did an executive course

reminds me of the time when one of Lalu's daughters went to attend a seminar at Harvard (or one such ivies), then got her photo taken at lectern and claimed she addressed class at Harvard, later the uni said that no such event happened where she was asked to present etc.
