Houston, August 06: To expand its global footprint without compromising its core values, MIT Sloan is heading up for a new collaboration with Business schools in India, by entering into a partnership with Indian School of Business, Hyderabad.
Although MIT’s Sloan School of Management was instrumental in starting Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta fifty years back, but never collaborated with B schools there.
“India was a gaping hole that existed in our strategy,” said Sloan Deputy Dean S P Kothari.
Kothari, also a professor of management at the Cambridge-based school, is heading up a new partnership between Sloan and the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad, one of India’s top business school.
The deal cemented in early April, will create exchanges of both professors and students between MIT and ISB.
ISB is itself the product of international partnerships.
