The Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi took a winning leap as it inked down a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Indian School of Business (ISB) to provide Executive Education in Pakistan. The MoU was signed by IBA, Karachi Dean and Director Dr Ishrat Husain and ISB Deputy Dean Deepak Chandra at the ISB campus, Hyderabad, India on April 13.
The collaboration brings together IBA and ISB's Centre for Executive Education to offer open and custom-designed courses for the senior management seeking swift career growth in the country. ISB Deputy Dean Deepak Chandra, while addressing a well attended press conference, announced that IBA Karachi was the first Business School in emerging countries with which ISB has entered into a partnership.
Chandra further added "We are confident that this partnership will help generate tremendous opportunities for cross-collaboration between the two schools and sets the tone for many more future associations aimed at nurturing business leaders and entrepreneurs who would contribute to the growth of business and industry in Pakistan".
Expressing his pleasure, IBA Dean and Director Dr Ishrat Husain shared, "This start is on a modest scale but we will build up our relations over time as each one of the two institutions gets to know the other. As a long time advocate and firm believer in friendly relations between the two neighbourly countries for peace and prosperity of our people this event represents a turning point."-PR
