Bank of Baroda has been keen on supporting quality research in the Banking and Finance sector. IIMA is focusing intensively on strengthening its Case Centre. The coming together of both institutions will contribute to top quality research that is connected with the latest developments in banking and finance.

“One should not see Bank of Baroda’s contribution in the light of only funding research output of IIMA. It is an amalgamation of a shared vision to make a difference in the quality of available research cases to benefit the sector. Bank of Baroda, as a leading bank, has always been committed to quality internal training and has been supportive of similar initiatives,” said Shri Ranjan Dhawan, Managing Director & CEO, Bank of Baroda.
