Founder Director Dr Nitin Garg says the newly formed International Advisory Council will guide faculty exchange, student mobility, and research partnerships aligned with global accreditation standards.

Bengaluru, February 5, 2026: As management education institutions reassess how global engagement is built and sustained, the International School of Management Excellence has constituted an International Advisory Council to strengthen its long term international strategy across academics, research, and institutional collaboration.
The council brings together senior academic leaders and industry practitioners with experience across Europe, Southeast Asia, and India. Its mandate is to systematise ISME’s global efforts spanning faculty exchange, student mobility, curriculum integration, and joint research, while ensuring alignment with international accreditation benchmarks.

The advisory body includes ISME Founder Director Dr Nitin Garg and senior global members such as Prof. Dr. Harald J. Bolsinger, Professor at THWS Germany and Director of the Master’s programme in Managing Global Dynamics, Alex Loh, Executive Director at MDIS Singapore, Prof. Dr. Macario Fernandes, Founder of Macarism Integrated Services in the United Kingdom, and Pronob J. Chetia, Senior People and Culture leader at Volvo Group Singapore.
Internal members from ISME include Dr Rony G. Kurien, Dean, Pallavi Jain, Director International Relations, Manasa Ravishakar, and Dr Purnajit Chatterjee, Head of External Relations, Training and Consultancy, ensuring academic and operational continuity between global strategy and campus execution.

Speaking on the formation of the council, Dr Nitin Garg said that internationalisation must go beyond short term travel programmes or standalone memorandums of understanding. He said that meaningful global engagement requires sustained collaboration on knowledge creation through faculty exchange and student mobility, adding that the council has been created to bring rigour, accountability, and execution focus to ISME’s international efforts.
ISME currently maintains academic partnerships across seven countries, including Singapore, Germany, France, the United States, Belarus, and Malaysia. Student exchange and immersion programmes are already operational with partner institutions in Singapore and Germany.

The International Advisory Council will work to expand these engagements across ISME’s full academic portfolio. Its focus areas include research collaboration, faculty exchange, online certification initiatives, and broader student mobility programmes aimed at strengthening global exposure for both faculty and learners.
As part of its long term vision, ISME plans to further widen the council’s global representation across regions to support sustained international collaboration and embed global perspectives more deeply within its academic ecosystem.
