SIBM Hyderabad has partnered with CII to identify corporate houses who can participate in the program by accommodating our faculty members. After initial invitation, CII has received expression of interest from several corporate houses to participate in the program. SIBMH coordinated with CII to map areas of interest of the corporates and area of expertise of our faculty members. After the mapping was done, selected faculty members (in our case 2 faculty members Dr. Jagan Mohan Reddy and Dr. Ridhi Rani) were deputed to work with Dr. Reddy’s Lab and M&M respectively for a duration of six weeks. After the completion of the program, the reports were prepared and both the faculty were made to present their study in the presence of representatives from host corporate, CII and SIBMH.

Evidence of Success: Both the faculty have completed the program successfully. It was heartening to note that Dr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was given commendation by Dr. Reddy’s Lab for his high impact work in the area of HRM titled “Work Culture at Dr.Reddy’s”.
