ASBM Industry–Academia Conclave 2026 | Day 2 – IIT Madras
From learning about the future of business to experiencing one of India’s leading academic and innovation ecosystems.
The second day (18 August 2026) of the ASBM Industry–Academia Conclave 2026 – “Global Strategic Leadership through Automation and Innovation” took our MBA students to the prestigious IIT Madras. The event was graciously granted by the Chairman, Er.C.Sukumaran, Managing Trustees, Mr S Praveen Kumar and Dr Srinidhi Praveen Kumar.
The day began with an enriching academic interaction with Prof. T. J. Kamalanabhan, Professor, Department of Management Studies, IIT Madras, and his team.
The interaction gave our students an opportunity to engage with perspectives on management, leadership, innovation and the evolving business environment. But the learning continued beyond the classroom. The program was facilitated by Dr.Sundarapandiyan Natarajan, Professor and Director, and Coordinated by Dr P Vikkraman, Professor and Director for Research along with Mr Lakshmikanth Raja and Mrs Krishnaveni Subramani, the faculty members of ASBM.
IIT Madras Library
Our students had the opportunity to visit and experience the impressive IIT Madras library and its academic resources, gaining first-hand exposure to the learning and research environment of a premier institution.
Heritage & Campus Life
The students explored the heritage spaces of IIT Madras and experienced the unique campus environment, architecture, green spaces and vibrant student life that make the institution distinctive.
For many students, walking through the IIT Madras campus was itself an inspiring experience, seeing how education, research, innovation and entrepreneurship come together in one ecosystem.
The two-day journey from Pondicherry University to IIT Madras gave our students much more than academic exposure. It encouraged them to observe, question, connect and imagine what is possible beyond the classroom.
At ASBM, we continue to believe that “Experience the Corporate Life” means creating opportunities for students to experience real institutions, real ecosystems and real learning.
A memorable second day of academic interaction, exploration, heritage and inspiration.
ASBM – Experience the Corporate Life.
