Apart from the faculty, curriculum, a student body and infrastructure IIMB has adequate industry linkages that are thought to be vital for a business school to create well rounded corporate leaders. IIMB provides its students with a unique perspective. The focus is not just on academics but also on personality enrichment to enable future leaders to take shape. This can be seen in the various student activities on campus. Apart from the usual meetings of business leaders and seminars conducted by the FII (Forum of Industrial Interaction), IIMB also offers its students opportunities in various other clubs. These include ICON - the consulting club which sources live consulting projects for the students, Vikasana - the students' social service club, MARS - the retailing club that operates a state-of-the-art store on campus which boasts of increasing its turnover 6 times from half a million to about 3 million rupees. Like many other academic institutes, IIMB runs a student exchange programme in the country; partner schools include NYU Stern, GSB Chicago, Anderson (UCLA), WHU Germany, the London School of Business and the LAOTSE network of leading European and Asian universities. In order to provide more students with an international exposure, IIMB has a course on international business that involves project work with a participating company at a foreign location. The international linkages at IIMB are so strong that about 70% of the batch has some international exposure during the course. The annually held student festivals - VISTA(the management fest) and UNMAAD (the cultural festival) - attract enthusiastic participation from colleges and industry across the country and abroad. Its current chairman is Mukesh_Ambani.
