For the past decade the HBS community has demonstrated a strong interest in research related to South Asia. The India Research Center (IRC) was established in 2006 and is based in Mumbai. Following significant economic policy transitions during the early 1990s, India has proven to be a major force within the world economy. As a result, the School supports its faculty with their research interests on the emerging trends that are quickly transforming and shaping the region. To date, the IRC has supported most of the case studies and HBS research projects focused on South Asian business issues, helping to build intellectual capital on this important region. Further, the IRC is home to one of two HBS style classrooms outside of Boston, allowing for regional business leaders to experience our faculty and the hallmark case study method in local Executive Education programs.
