Mumbai, July 17: K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce, the flagship autonomous institution guided by the Hinduja Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Hinduja Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hult International Business School, Dubai campus to extend global learning experience for its students.
The collaboration is part of K.P.B. Hinduja College’s broader effort to advance globally aligned growth pathways for students, enabling them to engage with diverse learning environments and contemporary perspectives.
The collaboration is aimed at offering globally aligned pathways by offering students access to faculty-led workshops, business challenges, mentorship, leadership programmes, international exposure, and other experiential learning opportunities.
Under the collaboration, recommended students of K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce will also have the opportunity to receive partial funding and scholarship, if selected for courses at Hult International Business Schools across the world. Scholarships will be awarded based on academic excellence, leadership potential, extracurricular achievements, overall student profile, and Hult‘s admission criteria. It is expected that this will make internationally recognised postgraduate education more accessible to deserving students.
As part of the implementation roadmap, both institutions will also jointly develop initiatives such as short-term international immersion programmes, summer and winter schools, industry visits, masterclasses, and short-term academic engagements at Hult‘s global campuses, including Dubai.
Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Navin Punjabi, Principal, K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce, said:
“The MoU with Hult International Business School reflects our continued focus on strengthening student learning beyond classroom through structured exposure and skill development opportunities. Our aim is to ensure students are equipped not only with strong academic foundations but also with the ability to apply their learning in real-world contexts. Such initiatives help broaden students’ outlook while building confidence, adaptability and professional readiness, which are essential for success.”
Shreeya Sharma, Senior Director of Enrolment – South Asia, Hult International Business School added,
“At Hult, we believe the best way to prepare future leaders is through learning by doing. Our students develop practical business skills, a global perspective, and the confidence to lead through real-world challenges. We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce and look forward to creating valid experiential opportunities for students and further provide access a truly global post graduate business education.”
The partnership becomes operational from the current Academic Year 2026–27. The first phase will include student engagement programmes, faculty interactions, global exposure initiatives, and structured pathways for higher education at multiple Hult International Business School locations.
