IIMA TO GET FIRST OVERSEAS CAMPUS IN DUBAI

The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad is on its way to making its global debut, having inked an agreement with UAE-based BRS Ventures to establish its maiden overseas extension centre in Dubai.

The proposed centre will begin with executive education programmes that are relevant to the region and will include both open learning and customised training programmes. With the synergy, this partnership is expected to benefit both the organisations, besides benefiting the UAE regional business and governance.

The IIM-A will provide the academic and training expertise, while BRS Ventures will facilitate all the required support, including infrastructure, industry links and logistics. The IIM-A- BRS combine would consider rolling out other programmes in the UAE of longer duration after assessing the response to its initial offerings and other factors. These programmes will be globally relevant to ensure that the cohort being trained is not restricted to any region and the learning environment is in an international cultural setting.
