One of the key reasons why IIBR has been a hub of activity wherein students have had the chance to enjoy an amazing institute-industry interface has been the association with The Maratha Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), one of the largest industrial chambers in Asia.

MCCIA has been at the forefront of providing service and support to promote industry, trade and business. MCCIA has been working hand in hand with the industry to boost growth and encourage new entrepreneurs. It also has been actively involved in many socially relevant initiatives.

MCCIA has also always emphasized and encouraged new initiatives in the field of education and training to be able to generate a resource pool of qualified and trained managers who can quickly become a part of this evolving scenario across the world. ASM's IIBR has been the result of this foresight and effort, set up in association with the Audyogik Shikshan Mandal. MCCIA’s support to IIBR is in the form of providing a sound platform for interaction between the students and the industry leaders, providing the students with adequate exposure to the various facets of the industry, helping them participate in business events and creating channels for placements with the best performers in the corporate arena.

 

Mr. Madhur Bajaj Vice Chairman, Bajaj Auto Ltd. There is a steep growth in industrial activity and it is important to be quality and cost-effective as also display high efficiency levels for survival. I am happy to note that IIBR students are getting rich inputs in the quality and cost effectiveness aspects of business management.     Mr. Atul Kirloskar Chairman, Kirloskar Group of Companies. There are global challenges now for the Indian entrepreneur and this leads to an increasing emphasis on self confidence in young executives. I am happy to note that IIBR is focusing effectively on such contemporary issues.     Mr. Ravi Pandit Chairman, KPIT Infosystems Ltd. Pune has to continue to give to the industry human resources trained in international business because that is going to be a major area of operations for companies big and small. IIBR has a clear focus in this area and has been extremely successful in bringing out the right candidates and adding values to their lives.     Mr. Mukesh Malhotra President - MCCIA, MD, Weikfield Products Co. (India) Pvt. Ltd. From my interaction with students at IIBR I am sure that they will be able to take on the challeges of the corproate world successfully. They are young, intelligent, groomed by expert faculty and exposed to extremely helpful seminars and business events.

Mr. Anant Sardeshmukh Director General, MCCIA, Pune I in my capacity as Director General of the chamber would recommend strongly the students of this Institute to the members of MCCIA for summer placements as well as for the final placements.     Mr. Prataprao Pawar Managing Director, Sakal Papers Ltd. I feel ASM & Institute of International Business & Research students are likely to get tremendous advantage being in Pune in the vicinity and in association with MCCIA.     Hon. Henning Scherf Chief Minister, Bermen Germany The demand for Internationally trained managers will give the institute a guarantee for success. Because of their experience & contacts in Pune, and the two Indian Partners MCCIA & ASM will be able to assume adequate management and good acceptance of the Institute in the local economy.
