The MoU was signed by IIM Indore director Prof Himanshu Rai and AIIMS Bhopal executive director Dr Ajai Singh on Friday.
Rai said, “AIIMS Bhopal aims to absorb talent, provide highly trained medical professionals for the country and conduct research on national and regional health problems. IIM Indore’s mission is to develop socially conscious leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs. With our aligned goals, together we plan to conduct research in the relevant areas and offer executive programmes, including but not restricted to health and hospital management.”

Singh expressed his delight over signing the MoU. He mentioned that IIM Indore is one of the top-ranked business schools in India and the second IIM with a Triple Crown accreditation.
