In a bid to strengthen academic ties between India and UAE, IIM Indore has tied up with one of the most prestigious B-schools, the Abu Dhabi School of Management (ADSM). Recently, both institutes signed a five-year-long MoU which will aid the institutions by the means of knowledge exchange initiatives.

Reportedly, the MoU was signed by the director professor of IIM Indore, Himanshu Rai and ADSM president professor Abdullah El-Kwafi Abonamah.

The affiliation of both parties will provide opportunities for the students of both nations to exchange knowledge, values and experience. Furthermore, the collaboration is aimed toward creating leaders and entrepreneurial managers with diverse skills of global standards, by providing them with the best of both worlds.

For this, the institutions are discussing the possibilities of joint initiatives such as dual degree courses, faculty exchange programmes, joint research initiatives and combined training facilities for the mutual benefits of both varsities.

IIM Indore had previously launched General Management Programme for Executives (GMPE) in 2019, which was aimed at developing the business and management skills of working professionals in Dubai, UAE.
