IIMB is coming to Indonesia. The IIMB Singhasari campus, announced by PM @narendramodi during his visit to Jakarta, marks a significant milestone in IIMB's global journey and the growing India-Indonesia partnership, serving learners from Indonesia and the ASEAN region. @PMOIndia

In a feature for India Today, Prof. Malika and Prof. Anirudh Dhawan reflect on why India's complex and diverse ecosystem offers fertile ground for the country’s brightest minds to make a return rather than pursue the obvious career path laid overseas. 🔗: indiatoday.in/sunday-special…

We congratulate Prof. Apurva Sanaria, OB&HRM area at IIMB, on his appointment as the inaugural OB Division Global Ambassador for India by the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management (AOM). 🔗Read more: iimb.ac.in/prof-apurva-ap… #IIMB #IIMBFaculty #AOM

@ramgopal_rao Impressive. All the best.

𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐢: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Over the past few years, BITS Pilani has been quietly transforming itself across multiple dimensions. Sustainable institutional excellence is never built through a single initiative. It is the cumulative outcome of thousands of decisions taken consistently over many years. This year, we have reached several important #milestones. - #BITSAT has recorded its highest ever demand, with over 263,000 applications and the highest number of unique applicants in our history. With an acceptance rate of only about 2%, BITS Pilani today ranks among the most selective engineering institutions in India. - Our #research output and global research impact continue to grow steadily, with publications, citations and international collaborations reaching new levels. - #Alumni confidence in BITS Pilani has never been stronger. Annual philanthropic contributions have increased dramatically, enabling investments in scholarships, research laboratories, centres of excellence and academic infrastructure. - We continue to remain deeply committed to ensuring that financial constraints do not become a barrier for talented students. Every year, a significant fraction of our incoming students receive #scholarships during their very first semester. Looking ahead, our priorities are equally clear. We are working towards completing our US$100 million #endowment, expanding our campuses through Project Vistaar and the AI+ Campus, strengthening technology transfer and deep technology research, recruiting outstanding faculty, enhancing our global academic standing, and building a robust digital education ecosystem that supports excellence across our residential campuses. There is still a long way to go. Building a world class university is a marathon, not a sprint. It requires patience, sustained investment, academic freedom, outstanding faculty, committed students, supportive alumni and a shared belief that #excellence is a continuous journey rather than a destination. I am grateful to the leadership, faculty, students, staff, alumni, industry partners, the Birla family, and everyone associated with BITS Pilani for being part of this journey. The best, I believe, is yet to come. @bitspilaniindia @BITSAA

@vineetnayar Congratulations. All the best.

Three years. Twenty-one drafts. Countless rewrites. More self-doubt than I care to admit. Today, I finally get to share it with you. HUMANS FIRST, MACHINES SECOND: 30 SPARKS TO REIMAGINE WINNING IN THE AGE OF AI My job was simply to put an idea into the world. What happens to it next is no longer in my hands. @PenguinIndia Available for pre-order now. Amazon link in the first comment.
