HIGH ON PARTNERSHIP

In August, Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Calcutta signed an MOU with the government of Tripura to help it design a pharma logistics hub and school development policies, amongst other things. The deal is the latest in a series of partnerships that the ace B-school has forged in the recent past. In 2023, it had organised a fiveday management trainee programme in collaboration with the government of West Bengal for newly elected panchayat members. The collaborations are testament to the institute's continuous endeavour towards bolstering its future.

IIM-C students are also a key part of this journey. The institute runs two full-time residential courses-Business Leadership in Manufacturing and Business Analytics-in association with other educational institutes and government bodies to create leaders of the future. For the former, it has partnered with the IITs in Kharagpur and Madras, the Confederation of Indian Industry and the government of Japan. The business analytics course is run along with the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata and IIT Kharagpur.
