Universita Bocconi, a business school from Italy, has tied up with Ultimate Knowledge System, a group of Indian entrepreneurs, to set up a management institute in Hiranandani, Mumbai.
The Mumbai International School of Business Bocconi will have a training module with a global outlook, targeting placement of students in MNCs and Indian companies going global.
“There are more than 2,000 MBA schools in the country but not more than 10 are of quality. Our objective will be to prepare students for the global economy and not just India,” said Mr Ravi Saxena, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, MISB.
The first batch of 100 students will be initiated into the course from July 2012.
Once a week, students will be sent to corporate houses and trained in the trappings of corporate culture.
“When we were studying, there was an acute lack of corporate connect. MISB will structure corporate exposure into the curriculum by sending students to companies for training,” said Mr Saxena, who graduated from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad.
