ASM’s IBMR marked a defining moment in its academic journey with the launch of ASM AI Fest 2026, inaugurated through a simultaneous digital twin address by Chairman Dr. Sandeep Pachpande across multiple campuses. This symbolic yet strategic launch reflects IBMR’s commitment to embedding Artificial Intelligence deeply into management education — not as a trend, but as a transformational shift aligned with India’s national AI vision.
 

At IBMR, AI integration goes beyond workshops. Students in MBA and PGDM programs are actively engaging with AI-driven business analytics, marketing automation, financial modelling, and predictive decision-making tools. The objective is clear: to ensure that every management graduate develops an “AI-First Mindset” — viewing AI as a force multiplier for strategic thinking and leadership effectiveness.
 

The AI Fest marks the beginning of a sustained roadmap at IBMR, including institute-level AI task forces, the upcoming ASM AI Centre of Excellence, AI-enabled placement modules through the Navdrishti platform, and AI-integrated dual specialisation programs. With this initiative, IBMR strengthens its position as a future-ready management institution preparing leaders for an AI-powered economy.
