Harvard Biz School Opens Mumbai Class Room

Harvard Business School (HBS), the world’s leading business school, opened its new amphitheater-style classroom, built and owned by the Taj Lands End, Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces in Mumbai on March 2, 2012.

Unlike the temporary spaces in Hyderabad and Mumbai where the School previously offered programs, the new space replicates the classrooms on the School’s Boston campus in Massachusetts, United States, giving participants and students a true Harvard Business School case method learning experience, for the first time in India.

The launch of the classroom kicks off with a series of activities including research conferences and executive education programs. This is the latest milestone in the School’s deepening engagement in India that over the last decade has produced a growing body of research on Indian companies and management practices.

The new classroom, with a seating capacity of over 82 students, will offer state-of-the-art multi-media facilities that augment the educational experience of the students. The room is virtually indistinguishable from the MBA classrooms in Boston.

Using the new classroom, Harvard Business School faculty will offer programs and symposia to leaders in business, government and academia on a wide range of subjects such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Building a Global Enterprise and Case Writing and Course Development.
