SMEs to get consultancy from IIM Indore students

Now, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) can consult students of Indian Institute of Management Indore (IIM Indore) for various management issues like marketing, finance, production etc.

"This is done via a mutually beneficial programme where SMEs interact with the IIM students. Students study their problems and visit the industries with solutions," said O P Dhoot, President, Association of Industries Madhya Pradesh.

For students it is part of their practical tranning and SMEs get excellent consultancy in return, added Dhoot.

Students offer consultancy through IIM Consulting Club where 10-12 students meet the industrialists.

It is generally difficult for SMEs to afford such quality consultancy and this programme is likely to boost their businesses, feel industrialists.
 

Recently, IIM Indore students visited AIMP campus and interacted with industrialists from various sectors like food processing, packaging and electric, electronics, steel and plastic etc and understood their problems.

Students will visit the industries next week to offer thier solutions, said AIMP members.
