The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) and Toulouse Business School have signed an agreement to set up India’s first Executive General Management Programme in Aerospace and Aviation Management as a first step towards collaborating in teaching and research . As part of its commitment to develop aerospace management education in India, Airbus is sponsoring the two year part-time degree programme to develop and nurture local talent in the field of aerospace.
The Aerospace MBA will be the first of its kind in India and is conducted by Toulouse Business School, whose own established and respected Aerospace MBA course has a strong business focus. Each year up to 75 students will be enrolled in the course.
“India is one of the fastest developing countries in the aviation market and is also one of the richest talent pools for the next generation of business leaders and we want the best to enter the exciting world of aviation,” said Dr. Dwarkanath Srinivasan, CEO of Airbus India. “With more passengers flying each year in India, there is an increasing need for expertise in aviation business.”
The partnership has been established to address the need to develop the next generation of India aviation professionals.
