SDA Bocconi School of Management launches the SDA Bocconi Asia Center in Mumbai. The Center will focus on postgraduate programs and education with deep customization of the learning experience. 

The school of management based in Milan, Italy, inaugurated its presence in India in 2012 through MISB Bocconi, catering mostly to the local Indian audience. As MISB completes six years, SDA Bocconi establishes it as SDA Bocconi's pan-Asian hub, with a broader scope across India, the Middle East, China and the rest of Asia.

Commenting on the development, Giuseppe Soda, SDA Bocconi’s Dean said, “We want to bring to India and the rest of Asia our unique approach to postgraduate programs and executive education, based on deep customization of the learning experience to the needs of the company and the individual.”

“SDA Bocconi Asia Center is looking to enable a stronger presence of SDA Bocconi brand in India and Asia at large with a more intense exchange of students among SDA Bocconi’s programs delivered in Milano, Mumbai and worldwide,” said David Bardolet, newly appointed Dean for the Asia Center.  

The Asia center will have a strong focus on executive education both for open and custom programs. The programs taught in India include a period of study in Italy, and many of the programs offered in Milan include an exchange stint in Mumbai to understand the Asian market. The management school is trying “to strike the right balance between international and local faculty.
