This new centre aims to enhance academic infrastructure and elevate educational standards across India.
The MOKC will catalyze innovation and knowledge sharing, focusing on critical disciplines such as capital markets, business strategy, and financial research.

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 quoted by The Indian Express.
The MOKC is expected to foster a collaborative environment where students and faculty can engage in transformative work that aligns with industry needs. By enhancing education and research capabilities, this partnership is set to position IIM Mumbai as a premier institution in India, driving progress and innovation in management education.
As the demand for skilled professionals in various sectors continues to grow, initiatives like the Motilal Oswal Knowledge Centre are essential in preparing the next generation of leaders equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape.
