India-UK Business School Dialogue 2026

Building long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships between UK and Indian business schools

The India–UK Business School Dialogue provides a unique forum for Indian and UK business schools to develop strategic transnational education partnerships that nurture the next generation of global talent.

Building upon the success of its first iteration which enabled the negotiation of 15 new partnerships, the Dialogue will convene over 80 UK and Indian leading business schools, alongside government officials, regulators, and thought leaders.

Leaders from both countries will explore new opportunities in transnational education (TNE), international research collaboration, and strategic engagement, in line with national education strategies and global challenges.

The Dialogue is led by the UK's Chartered Association of Business Schools and supported by the All India Management Association (AIMA), the Association of Management Development Institutions in South Asia (AMDISA), and the India Business Group (IBG), and the Indian Academy of Management (INDAM).
