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 platform for Indian and UK business schools, and is guided by ambition to develop an education and skills partnership to nurture the next generation of global talent through deepening transnational education collaborations between universities and the establishment of campuses.

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), the Dialogue brings together senior leaders from both countries to explore new opportunities in transnational education (TNE), international research collaboration, and strategic engagement.

Building upon the success of its first iteration, the Dialogue will convene over 80 UK and Indian leading business schools, alongside government officials, regulators, and thought leaders, to exchange insights, strengthen institutional relationships, and develop new partnerships aligned with national education strategies and global challenges.
