IIM Jammu, since its inception, has endeavored to foster industry-academia partnership to keep its budding entrepreneurs and managers abreast of the latest industry developments. Imparting knowledge, along with giving the right exposure, has always been a prime motive to the foundation of the institution. Towards achieving this goal, Industry Interaction Cell (IIC) strives to feature industry leaders from all fields and backgrounds, at both national and international levels, who share lessons and insights from their professional journeys.

"The best know-how of the world can be gathered by interacting with people who possess it already, the knowledge that they have gathered over the years during the time they spent in the industry." - the words of one of our esteemed guests goad us on.

Serving the role of a mediator between theory and practice, the committee’s initiatives bring together corporate decision-makers, business leaders and researchers to discuss and explore strategies for today’s most pressing business challenges with the students. IIC hosts Conclaves - 'HR Conclave' & 'Management Conclave' - and speaker sessions, part of 'Nav Samvaad' series, every year. These sessions attract a diverse and vibrant audience from across the Institute. The goal is to set the right stage for students to gain insights into the ongoing happenings of the industry and how the corporates are dealing with various challenges thrown at them almost daily. The interaction is also an opportunity for the students to capture an idea of what lies ahead on the career path that they might choose in any management discipline once their corporate phase starts.
