The India–UK Business School Dialogue, taking place on 16–17 September 2025 in New Delhi, is a high-level forum designed to build long-term, sustainable partnerships between UK and Indian business schools.
Led by the UK's Chartered Association of Business Schools and supported by the British Council, The All India Management Association (AIMA), The Association of Management Development Institutions in South Asia (AMDISA), and The India Business Group (IBG) this two-day event will bring together senior leaders from both countries to explore new opportunities in transnational education (TNE), international research collaboration, and strategic engagement.
