IIM Nagpur is all set to establish its satellite campus at Pune, the city which stimulates scholarship and academia and equally inspires the go-getters to spread their wings. IIM Nagpur recently signed an MoU with Central Institute of Road Transport (CIRT) Pune, an institute that works on improving the efficiency and productivity of the transport sector.
With this signing, IIM Nagpur is setting up its satellite campus at CIRT campus and plans to create a collaborative space for relevant courses and extending its ideology of engaged scholarship.
IIM Nagpur kicked-off its activities in Pune with an interaction held on Tuesday with corporate leaders and industry experts.

At the occasion, CP Gurnani, MD and CEO, Tech Mahindra and Chairman, IIM Nagpur Board of Governors, said, “I am excited to announce the launch of IIM Nagpur’s satellite campus at Pune, India. With a vision to make disruption a norm by creating an ecosystem of future young leaders who are agile, resilient and ready to adapt the dynamic business landscape to stay relevant, the establishment of the Pune campus is a step towards a new beginning in the field of management. This campus will provide a platform for industry leaders and academia to come together and shape the ‘leaders of tomorrow’ by providing world-class education and mentoring.”
CIRT in its 108 acres’ campus will provide the necessary infrastructure which IIM Nagpur will supplement to suit the requirements of running the courses and allied activities.
The initial courses to be offered are Short and Long Duration Executive Education Programmes and MBA for Working Professionals. Research and consulting collaborations will also be an important feature.
