Introducing the Mumbai Hub: KEDGE’s Latest Global Expansion
On 25 August 2025, KEDGE Business School announced the opening of a new associated campus in Karjat, Maharashtra. Set against the Western Ghats and positioned at the entrance to Mumbai and the Navi Sagar International Airport, the campus brings world‑class business education to the heart of India’s financial ecosystem. In partnership with Vijay Bhoomi University and its Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSoM), the initiative realises a shared vision of global learning, hands‑on experience, and local relevance.
Why Karjat? The Strategic Advantages of a Green Gateway
Karjat’s quiet, green surroundings provide a focused learning environment while remaining just a two‑hour drive from the metropolis of Mumbai. The location offers easy access to India’s corporate hubs, media centres and start‑up scene—an essential commodity for students seeking real‑time business exposure.
Academic and Professional Collaboration with Vijay Bhoomi University
The partnership blends KEDGE’s triple Crown‑accredited curriculum with JAGSoM’s strong regional network. Students will enjoy fully‑equipped classrooms, modern labs, creative studios and sports facilities, all designed to support learning across disciplines. The joint management of academic programmes ensures that courses meet India’s market needs while aligning with international standards.
