The Shailesh J Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has launched a world-class facility that will offer a joint Executive MBA programme with Washington University in St Louis.

Shailesh Mehta, alumnus of IIT Bombay, and his wife Kalpa Mehta, inaugurated the Executive Education Complex at IIT Bombay.

Equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure that includes climate-controlled classrooms, breakout rooms, lounges, a faculty room, a conference room, and multi-media facilities to improve the learning experience of students, the world-class Executive Education Complex has been designed specifically to conduct the joint Executive MBA programme offered by SJMSOM, IIT Bombay and the Olin Business School at Washington University in St Louis.

“The Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management has strived to achieve global reputation through its highly qualified faculty, high-calibre students and facilities offered. Our vision is to become a premier management school in Asia by ensuring that the SJMSOM is a world-class facility at IIT Bombay campus and to nurture the strong talent pool of students here to become future leaders. I am grateful that we are doing our bit to bridge the gap of India’s growing need for qualified leaders as it becomes a major global economy,” Shailesh Mehta said.

IIT Bombay director Subhasis Chaudhuri said the institute is committed to creating an environment that can nurture innovation, creativity and excellence among students. “The Executive Education Complex at SJMSOM is a definitive step in this direction. With its world-class amenities and faculty, I am confident that this complex will promote experiential learning in a significant way.
