The next phase of Indo-German business growth will depend not only on investment and technology — but on organisations capable of developing leaders who can navigate both ecosystems seamlessly. This is now a strategic business priority.
Whether you are:
- a German company expanding in India,
- an Indian company strengthening partnerships with Germany,
- an MSME or a Family-Managed Business addressing succession and internationalisation challenges,
- or an existing Indo-German organisation building future leadership capability, the ability to develop individuals who can think strategically, work across cultures, solve real business challenges and contribute meaningfully from day one will define long-term success.
It is in response to this evolving need that the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce, through the Indo-German Training Centre together with DHBW CAS, introduces the Indo-German Dual MBA — a workplace-integrated management programme built on the globally respected German Dual Education model – combining German academic excellence with structured corporate learning in India.
A German MBA Built Inside the Indian Workplace
For more than three decades, IGCC | IGTC has successfully implemented German dual education principles in India by combining academic learning with industry exposure in German and Indo-German organisations.
The Indo-German Dual MBA represents the next evolution of this experience. It creates a powerful ecosystem where companies in India and a German university jointly contribute to talent development.
The 21-month programme leads to a German MBA degree awarded by DHBW CAS and combines:
- German academic standards and research supervision
- Structured corporate immersion in India
- Applied business research linked to organisational challenges
- International academic exposure with minimal relocation time or career disruption
- A cost-efficient alternative to traditional international MBA programs
Designed for the Indo-German Business Ecosystem
Organisations that have already pledged their nominations into the program include BSH Home Appliances, Häfele, IHCL and Lufthansa Technik among others.
Launching the First Pilot Cohort
Applications are now open for the highly exclusive 1st pilot batch commencing in September 2026, and limited to 25 carefully selected participants, ensuring close academic mentoring, meaningful peer learning and deep organisational integration. Companies interested in shaping the next generation of Indo-German leadership talent are invited to participate as corporate partners in this pioneering initiative.
