CHENNAI:European Business School (EBS), a business institute with university status in Germany, will start a business school in India. A team comprising Dr. Ronald Gleich, Dean of Executive Education is in India and will visit Bangalore and Kochi to evaluate options. Based in Oestrich-Winkel near Frankfurt, EBS has been sending its students to various Indian Institutes of Management on exchange programs. During their stay in India, the team will interact with various educational institutions and companies to explore the possibility of starting a business school in India. It had a turnover of Euros 18 million, 50 percent of which came from executive education. EBS had identified several niche management subjects such as innovation management and entrepreneurship.
