IIM Udaipur – 3 years old and already in world’s Top 5
4MBA (PGPX) students at one of the youngest buisness schools in India – IIM Udaipur – do India proud by reaching the Top 5 teams at Global Operations Conference 2013 at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan
IIM U has been selected as one of the top 5 teams from across the globe for the finals of the prestigious Global Operations Conference 2013 at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. The other teams in the top 5 are Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Michigan (2 teams) & Pennsylvania State University. Being the only team from Asia to have qualified for the finals, IIM Udaipur has yet again created a mark globally in the Operations and Supply Chain field.
The Global Operations Conference is an event organized by the Tauber Institute for Global Operations, considered as one of the biggest International conferences in Operations & SCM, and sponsored by multi-national companies such as Dell, CISCO, Infosys, 3M, Eaton, Microsoft, ALCOA, Steelcase, Conway. The theme for this year’s conference is Navigating the New Normal. The keynote speakers of the event are Maria de Lourdes Dieck-Assad, Dean at EGADE Business School at Tecnológico de Monterrey, and Michael Finney, President and CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
The IIM Udaipur team was represented by Arpit Mehra, Biswarup Das, Rahul Dsouza and Rahul Pandey. All of them are students of the One year full time Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPX) – Global Supply Chain Management, offered by IIM-U in collaboration with Purdue University. These students are currently in US attending the fall semester as part of this unique program.
The team is upbeat about the finals and will be battling it out in Michigan for this prestigious award. Being recognized consistently on a global platform is indeed a commendable achievement for one of the youngest IIMs – a team from IIM U had recently reached the Top 6 teams at the C.K Prahalad Case Competition at the Indo-US Business Conference at Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
We wish them all the best.

All admiration and congratulations to all those selected . Faculty and the leadership in IIM-Udaipur deserves special congratulations for achieving grand success in becoming part of the global scene by reaching the Top 5 teams at Global Operations Conference 2013 at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan . Being the youngest business schools in India – IIM Udaipur – India must be proud of it. MBA (PGPX) students Arpit Mehra, Biswarup Das, Rahul Dsouza and Rahul Pandey deserve our heartfelt congrats and all the best wishes. They have also added glory to the Purdue University, the collaborating university with IIM-Udaipur in this endeavour. All other schools of management should get motivation from IIM-Udaipur.
Congrats and best wishes again !
Thank You Sir. This means a lot to us. I highly appreciate your vision for IIM Udaipur and Purdue as well.
Doesn’t the title of this article actually means that – IIM U, despite of being only 3 yr old, ‘ranks’ in top 5 among B-schools of the world?
Yes the title is definitely misleading!!!
