About this episode

Aamchi Mumbai just got its first IIM, the much-needed B-school in the country's financial hub. The countless CAT exam aspirants are more excited, as it means more than 550 additional seats will be available for admissions. But why did a 60-year-old institute like NITIE have to seek the IIM tag? How will it leverage its new identity? And what's the significance of an IIM being in the country’s financial capital? Hosts Kiran Somvanshi and Kalpana Pathak take us through NITIE’s transformational journey of becoming IIM Mumbai in this episode of The Morning Brief podcast. Listen to:
