India’s power sector leader NTPC and top business school IIM-Ahmedabad have announced a joint initiative to create a world class research institute at NTPC School of Business for policy prescription and churn out management graduates with focus on energy sector.

We are proud to have entered an agreement, under which India’s marquee business school — Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad – will hand hold NTPC School of Business to replicate its management degree courses beginning this year with special focus on energy verticals not only for NTPC but for the entire power sector,” Shri Saptarshi Roy, Human Resource Director of Maharatna PSU, said on the occasion of the alliance.

This is the first time we are tying up with a leading academic institution for degree and other specialised courses on the lines of IIM-A. We were blessed with handholding from IIM-A for five years and we are proud of it. We will be doing the same with NTPC School of Business (NSB) and hand hold it for five years, create a top class faculty like our own and offer a host of specialised electives for various aspects related to energy and power sectors,” IIM-A’s HRM Area Chair and Strategic Management Professor Shri Sunil Kumar Maheshwari said.

We have the entire infrastructure at our NSB’s NOIDA campus ready to start the courses from the academic year including residential facility for the students. We intend to enrol 120 students in the first year”, said Shri A.K. Bhatnagar, Executive Director, Head of Power Management Institute & NSB, NOIDA.
