The 7{+t}{+h} Indian Management Conclave will be held on August 5 and 6 at IIM Ahmedabad (IIM-A). Organised by MBAUniverse.com in association with BusinessLine , the theme of the conference is ‘institutional leadership in management education’.

The conclave will debate how management schools can take a leaf out of successful organisations in the spheres of business, technology, higher education and public service and work towards establishing their institutions as leaders.

Business schools, says Amit Agnihotri, convenor of the IMC and founder, MBAUniverse.com, can claim leadership by excelling in academics or in industry engagement or by creating a positive impact on society.

A galaxy of academicians from top B-schools will gather to debate these topics at IIM-A over two days. While Ashish Nanda, Director, IIM-A, will deliver the inaugural address, the keynote address will be given by Jitendra Singh, Chair Professor, former Dean, HKUST Business School and Nanyang Business School and faculty emeritus, The Wharton School.

The special address will be given by Harish Bhat, Member, Group Executive Council, Tata Sons, and a distinguished alumnus of IIM-A of the 1987 batch.

Director of IIM Indore Rishikesha Krishnan and Director of IIM Udaipur Janat Shah will also participate in the conclave as also top faculty from SPJIMR, Jaipuria Institute of Management, NMIMS and MICA. R Srinivasan, Editor, BusinessLine , will also chair a session on leveraging technology in business education.

MIT’s Sloan School of Management Dean David Schmittlein will also address the faculty from B-schools around the country via video.

The IMC will also give distinguished alumni awards to Shilpa Divekar, CEO, India, Monsanto, an alumna of SPJIMR and to Dev Amritesh, President, Domino’s Pizza India, and an IMT Ghaziabad alumnus.
