The UAE-India Business Council UAE Chapter (UIBC-UC) and SP Jain School of Global Management, Dubai, have entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on research initiatives and bolster academic ties between India and the UAE. This partnership aims to enhance bilateral cooperation by leveraging SP Jain's educational expertise and UIBC-UC's business and diplomatic networks, fostering knowledge exchange and innovation to drive sustainable growth in both countries. The collaboration will focus on joint research projects addressing critical challenges and uncovering new opportunities in key areas such as sustainable business practices, technology-driven innovation, energy solutions, and the evolving role of education in a globalized economy.
Through this robust platform for knowledge sharing, the MoU will facilitate the exchange of valuable insights and best practices, ensuring both parties remain at the cutting edge of industry trends and innovation. SP Jain has been a pioneer in the globalization of Indian education, with over 12,000 alumni worldwide. Recognizing the demand for top-tier business education in the UAE, SP Jain established its Dubai campus, using the region as a springboard for global expansion. UAE-based students now benefit from rotational programs with sister campuses in Singapore, London, and Sydney, gaining a truly global perspective.
"SP Jain exemplifies how the UAE is enabling Indian universities to take the India story global. The UAE has become a bridge for educational institutions, and SP Jain's success here serves as a model for India. It demonstrates how the right collaboration and enabling environment can empower Indian institutions to lead on the global stage," said Faizal Kottikollon, chairman of UIBC-UC and KEF Holdings.
As part of this collaboration, SP Jain students will gain exclusive access to UIBC-UC's extensive network of industry leaders, representing prominent companies operating in the UAE-India corridor. Through the study of key UIBC-UC case studies, students will analyze and learn from how leading businesses tackle real-world challenges, making their learning experience more relevant and impactful. This partnership aims to provide students with direct access to real-time business insights and opportunities for hands-on internships and collaborative projects with UIBC-UC member organizations.
Kottikollon also highlighted the synergy between SP Jain's cutting-edge research and Tulah, KEF Holdings' renowned wellness sanctuary set to open next year. He emphasized that Tulah's mission goes beyond blending modern science with ancient wisdom; it is a bold step towards redefining wellness itself. Additionally, SP Jain's patented ELO (Engaged Learning Online) technology, which combines the flexibility of online learning with the interactive and rigorous standards of on-campus education, will also be explored as part of this collaboration.
