The Motilal Oswal Knowledge Centre marks a significant milestone in our efforts to advance academic and research excellence. The Centre will revolutionise the way we approach research and learning. With dedicated spaces for financial research and academic innovation, this Centre will empower our students and faculty to engage in transformative work that aligns with the industry’s needs. As we expand our capabilities in education and research, partnerships like this will be vital in enabling us to continue growing as a premier institution,” said Prof Manoj K Tiwari, Director of Indian Institute of Management, Mumbai.
