The interaction between B-Schools and industry is the need of the hour. With the advent of globalization and opening up of Indian economy to outside world, competition and problems among industries have become stiff. To solve their problems they look up now to B-Schools.

Similarly, there is an urgent need to prepare students for jobs in multinational companies, by exposing them to emerging technologies. These objectives can only be achieved well by bridging the gap between industry and the academic institute.
