I am delighted and humbled to welcome the first batch of FPM/EFPM scholars at FIIB. As an avid researcher, I am glad to helm the fellowship programme at FIIB which aims to provide a blend of management research and practices to fellow scholars that shall enable them in advancing their careers. With specialization in various areas of management and a strong bent towards inter-disciplinary research methods, scholars have a chance to engage with academicians, practitioners, and policy makers. FIIB faculty carry a combination of broad experience, publishing in high quality journals, personal insights and advanced management thinking into their classes and would be great mentors to the scholars.
With a strong focus on knowledge creation, the Programme is an excellent opportunity for the research minds to build upon independent thinking and collaborate with like-minded community stakeholders. International Management Conference (IMC) and FIIB Business Review (Sage Publications) are the landmarks of research culture in the institute. We invite upon candidates who have the commitment to undertake rigorous training to evolve themselves in the field of management research. I am looking forward excitedly to serve all the scholars at FIIB in sharpening their skills and achieving highest achievements on their path.
