Business education has witnessed unprecedented growth in the recent past. As enterprises look for skilled and prudent decision makers, the higher education ecosystem has geared up to meet the demand. In this issue, we have focused on this field. The cover story of this issue features International Institute of Business Studies (IIBS). To enhance its management education, IIBS focuses on providing best possible infrastructure, well experienced faculty members with global outlook, to motivate and train the students with the robust training regimen. IIBS lays great emphasis on communication skills of its students. Right from day one, the students are trained in the usage of various forms of effective business communication, supported by effective use of appropriate technology, logical reasoning, and articulation of ideas. Graduates are trained to develop effective oral and written communication especially in business applications, with the use of appropriate technology (business presentations, start up cases discussion, digital marketing tools, social network platforms and so on).

Also featuring in the issue is Providence School of Business. The school is located in Chengannur, which is ideally situated between Kerala's major commercial hubs. Since its inception, the institute has been working to nurture leadership skills among management trainees from various academic and professional backgrounds. Simulators, case studies, projects, and traditional lecture techniques are all part of PSB's academic program. These approaches are grounded in a blend of practical and collaborative elements. Even faculty performance and quality are measured on academic performance, initiatives in student support & development activities, administrative functions, staff advisory & mentoring, research development, and professional development.

After scrutinizing the colleges and universities in this field, we have selected the top performers of the year who have showcased exceptional academic expertise. With the intent to transform the lives of students, these colleges have exhibited the acumen to adapt to the evolution of the educational field and help students emerge victorious.

We look forward to receiving your feedback and suggestions.
