A Hub for Insights on India’s Business Landscape
India’s growing economy is rewriting the rules of global business. Startups are scaling at lightning speed. New technology is reshaping industries as we know them. New policies are bringing brand new opportunities. And our India Business Initiative (IBI) at the Chazen Institute at CBS puts you in the middle of it all.
We bring faculty, alumni, and students into the heart of India’s economic transformation as it’s happening to meet the industry leaders driving this change. Through IBI, you get the hands-on experience you can’t find in a textbook.
This is where global business meets India’s future.
