ISB To Develop Management Programme With Leading Russian B-School

The Indian School of Business (ISB) has entered into a cooperation agreement with Moscow School of Management to jointly develop educational modules for executive training as well as other special programmes in the area of business education. The focus will be on leading companies and corporate institutions in India, Russia and other countries.

The Partnership:

Both the business schools intend to exchange faculty to conduct joint academic and analytical research as well as to develop the connections between the alumni communities of the two Schools representing the entire spectrum of business and corporate circles in India and Russia, said an ISB statement.

The cooperation agreement was signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s just-concluded visit to Vladivostok, Russia. It was signed by the dean of ISB Prof Rajendra Srivastava and President of Moscow School of Management Andrey Sharonov.

Institutes Speak:

“India and Russia have always been strategically close. By joining forces with Moscow School of Management, we are building another bridge between two countries that will help Russian and Indian businessmen and policy-makers to better understand each other and learn how to work together in Russia, India, and across the globe,” Prof Srivastava said.

Sharing his views, Sharonov said, “India is going through a major transformation of business and society.  We strive to raise awareness of these changes among Russian entrepreneurs, and by establishing a strategic partnership with ISB, we can offer our Russian corporate and government clients, as well as foreign students, the opportunity to better understand India as a market, and as a partner.”
