DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
The institute has traversed a long distance since its inception in 1963. Indian institute of
Foreign Trade was set up by the Government of India for addressing the international trade
related training and research requirements of the country. Since then, the Institute has
evolved and undergone major transformations and is widely recognized for its strong
knowledge and resource base and is consistently ranked amongst the leading business schools
in the entire Asia Pacific Region. The Institute has in all these years expanded the scope and
dimensions of its academic field that now encompasses the entire gamut of international
business.
The Institute has closely aligned, over the years, the shifts and realignments in ideologies and
beliefs that have shaped our world economy. Over the years, the Institute has been witness to
major shifts and transformations in the political and economic landscape of the world and the
ideologies that shape it. The isolated national economic are now more inter-woven and
integrated into the global economic architecture. Our country also changed gears from an
inward looking mindset to an external orientation in its economic policies. The once all-
encompassing public sector has given way to a business climate that now encourages private
sector participation in nation building. After having witnessed the dominance of services
sector in the economy, there is now a serious and concerted attempt to set the house in order.
Today, our country is on the threshold of a manufacturing revolution and our economy is
poised to shift to a high-speed track of growth. Amidst all these shifts and transformations,
the international trade and global business continue to remain a key facilitator of
development and growth. There are changes in global scenario and the term ‘global trade’
itself is acquiring new meaning and definitions in the changing geo-political scenario. At
home, immense opportunities and challenges are going to arise with 'Make in India'
campaign. IIFT’s MBA programme in International Business for the working executives is
focused on skills a global manager needs today. The need to acquire competence in
international business has now arrived. The programme is regularly updated keeping in mind
the changing business context. The programme is rich in content, flexible for participants
drawn from the public and private domain, and effective in its delivery involving a world
class faculty.
I extend an open invitation to you to become a part of IIFT's dynamic learning process to
hone your skills to engage and succeed in ever evolving world trade.
