IIM-K, IOB sign MoU to collaborate on executive education, capacity building

The Indian Institute of Management-Kozhikode (IIM-K) and the Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on design, delivery, and certification of customised training programmes and workshops for IOB’s senior leadership and executives.

The MoU was signed as part of the 90th Foundation Day celebrations of the IOB. In conjunction with the MoU, the IOB also announced the establishment of a dedicated centre of excellence (CoE) for training and capacity building, a press release said.

Under the MoU, IIM-K, through its Kochi campus (IIMK-Kochi), and IOB, through its staff college and newly inaugurated CoE, will jointly work on developing and delivering high-impact learning interventions. These programmes will be tailored for the IOB’s top executives, senior management, and selected officers, aligned closely with the bank’s strategic priorities and long-term vision of becoming a leading institution anchored in sound and prudent banking principles.

The collaboration aims to support IOB as it navigates a rapidly evolving economic and social environment, while pursuing sustainable value creation. Both institutions will jointly identify and develop programmes that address IOB’s strategic and training needs, leveraging IIM-K’s expertise across management domains.
