Arin Prakash, Parinistaa Sugandhi, Garv Agarwal, Dhruv Deepak Bagla and Shreya Jain were chosen to participate in peer learning alongside students from partner universities. They will apply technology, innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership skills to engage in the dialogue on real world challenges like urban planning, the Internet of Things (IoT), waste management, renewable energy and climate resilience.

BBA(DBE) aims to train tomorrow's entrepreneurs through an industry-specific, modular and completely online learning model. During its first year the curriculum attracted over 1,000 students from 359 places across the nation.

The curriculum, jointly developed by academic and industry specialists, integrates core business studies with future-proof skill acquisition, intensive projects and international exposure and is India's first such effort where students of an entirely online degree program at the undergraduate level engage in such mass international immersion.

The AGILE COIL program, designed jointly with Hiroshima University and supported by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) facilitates cross-cultural collaboration, leadership and global citizenship among Japanese and Indian students. Since 2024-25 BBA (DBE) students of IIMB have been taking part virtually in the AGILE COIL Module 4 entrepreneurship education with global academic guidance and a virtual badge from Hiroshima University upon graduation. The September 2025 immersion will be the first face-to-face component for high achieving students selected for this program, with the Japanese government bearing all travel, accommodation and internal costs.

Parinistaa Sugandhi explained that as a member of IIMB one had to uphold ideals like creativity, critical thinking and inclusiveness. She added that she believed these traits were in line with the vision for the future that Hiroshima University wanted for the globe and that this is what interested her most about serving as a representative of IIMB at Hiroshima University.

Shreya Jain explained that she was interested in learning how different cultural contexts shaped styles of leadership, decision making and creativity. She also said that she was interested in contributing ideas that would make her break some of her own assumptions.
