With compelling business and national interests propelling the fast-evolving India-Japan business environment, IIMB—with its academic and research competencies—conceived the idea of establishing the Mizuho India Japan Study Centre to facilitate collaborative initiatives among academia, industry and government agencies of both countries to work on areas of mutual interest. MIJSC is a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, especially among academic institutes, that focuses on creating, sharing and disseminating knowledge in emerging areas of Indo-Japanese business. It also aims to encourage research collaboration between Indian and Japanese scholars by funding various research programs.
The foundation day event aims bring together all key stakeholders to share the milestones that the centre has achieved over the past year. Some of the highlights include- the release of several publications, and knowledge creation on subjects such as Ikigai, Artificial Intelligence, and the Digital Revolution. The center has also actively promoted research collaborations between Indian and Japanese scholars through funded programs. Initiatives such as ‘Lean Manufacturing Practices’ aim to develop leaders in India’s manufacturing sector. Additionally, a focused Japanese Language Course aimed at building conversational competency has also been introduced. An executive program focusing on Japan has been initiated, with more programs in the pipeline.
