ISB enters into the Middle East

Indian School of Business (ISB), a premier b-school of India and 20th place in Financial Times ranking for Global MBA, is set to enter into the Middle-east higher education market. ISB will start their plan with executive education programs at the beginning. The focus of the program is to groom senior and middle management in the Middle East as a first stage of testing the higher education market.

All programs will be controlled by the Centre for Executive Education (CEE) at ISB.The Indian School of Business (ISB) signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Bahwan CyberTek (BCT) Group of Oman, to provide executive education courses in the Middle East. Under the agreement, the Centre for Executive Education (CEE) at ISB would deliver executive education courses focused at grooming senior and middle management in the Middle East.

An agreement has been signed between the senior director of CEE, ISB- Ramanathan Hariharan and director & CEO of Bahwan CyberTek Group (BCT)- S. Durgaprasad. On this occasion, S. Durgaprasad said, "There is tremendous focus from various governments in the Middle East to look beyond oil. They are looking at creating a knowledge economy. ISB being a leader in executive education, their knowledge and their experience can come handy to build the community in that part of the world.”

BCT, an associate of the Suhail Bahwan Group, one of Oman's foremost business houses, will focus on industry verticals like banking, financial services, government, energy utility industry and infrastructure. The executive education program will cater to both the citizens of Oman and expatriates.

To start with, the program will be delivered in Oman from September this year for 50 to 100 people in the first year. BCT plans to expand this to the UAE, Qatar, Egypt and other countries in the region.

The program will be delivered in Oman. "We are also looking at options where the students will be exposed to practices not just in Oman but growing economies like India. So, one leg of the programs will be in Oman and another possibly in India. Third leg could be in US, Europe or China," he said.
