FPJ: What's new that KEDGE Business School is offering to Indian students?
Garcia: This partnership is unique in India—a top French institution collaborating with a local university to offer a range of programmes that can be completed entirely in India. We're starting with a bachelor's degree, and, by September 2026, we will also offer six master's degrees. More programmes will be added, including executive education and doctoral degrees. Students can start their education at Vijaybhoomi University in India and progress to a PhD or executive degree in KEDGE.
FPJ: How do Indian students contribute to the French economy?
Garcia: France faces a lack of talent in such fields as engineering and mid-to-high management. India, the largest producer of graduates in hard sciences, is, therefore, a vital source to fill this gap. Technical students from India are instrumental to the growth and development of French companies. We also focus on soft skills, including social and managerial skills, which are also essential for professional success. These complement the education Indian students receive and enhance their employability.
FPJ: What does KEDGE Business School look for in Indian students when reviewing their applications?
Garcia: Excellence. We prioritize excellence and ambition over the field of study. We seek students who have shown exceptional academic progress and have a clear desire to make a difference. While we don't focus heavily on the discipline, we value students who excel in their chosen fields and demonstrate strong ambition. If they possess these qualities, they are a good fit for us.
