Mizuho India Japan Study Centre

みずほインド日本研究センター

IIMB has years of ongoing research collaborations and student exchange programmes with some of the best Japanese business schools and universities, like Hitotsubashi University, International University of Japan, Keio University, Tokyo University, Kyoto University, and Waseda University. There are industry relationships and collaborations as well. IIMB offers an elective course exclusively on Japan to its MBA students. Faculty at IIMB are involved in Japan-related research and teaching.

Role

With compelling business and national interests propelling the fast-evolving India-Japan business environment, IIMB -- with its academic and research competencies -- conceived the idea of establishing the Mizuho India Japan Study Centre to facilitate collaborative initiatives among academia, industry and government agencies of both countries to work on areas of mutual interest. These would include domains such as business environment, government policies, innovation, project management, sourcing, technology transfer, development and management, sustainability, intellectual property rights, and understanding of local culture and business practices. The sectoral focus would be on infrastructure including energy and transportation, and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.

Currently, there is no focused initiative in India among academic institutes, particularly in management institutes, to create, share and disseminate knowledge in the relevant areas of Indo-Japanese business. The Mizuho India Japan Study Centre @ IIMB aims to become a leading research and networking hub that would provide students, researchers, business managers and policy makers with a deeper understanding of Japanese and Indian business.

As a location, Bengaluru has the highest number of Japanese companies and professionals in India. Further, its innovation ecosystem has been ranked among the world's best.

Focused activities of the Mizuho India Japan Study Centre @ IIMB will be aimed at stimulating, strengthening and sustaining Indo-Japanese academic-business interactions.
