Symbiosis Institute of International Business


The Symbiosis Institute of International Business was founded in 1992 as Symbiosis Institute of Foreign Trade (SIFT) with its flagship programme, Master’s Diploma in International Trade (MDIT), later renamed as MBA – International Business (MBA - IB) in 2006. As the global business world expanded tremendously, the founders felt the need to pro-actively transform the institute from one of foreign trade to an all-encompassing ‘International Business’, and hence SIFT metamorphosed into Symbiosis Institute of International Business (SIIB) in 2002.

It was not only the name of the institute ‘International Business’ that changed, but also its aim, which became wider to cover global aspects, as it moved to a brand-new campus equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. In the process, SIIB won many coveted accreditations, making it one of India's preferred destinations for MBA education. Today, SIIB stands as one of the premier business schools in the country. Through all these years, it has provided students with a strong academic foundation and ensured their holistic development.

The institute boasts 100% placements since its inception in leading companies across the globe, which is reflected through an array of alumni spread across diverse geographical domains.

SIIB is recognized for its two more niche programs, MBA - Agri-Business and MBA – Sustainability Management, which began in 2004 and 2009, respectively, to cater to the industry's latest Sustainability Management needs. 

In 2002, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, conferred the "Deemed to be University" status on Symbiosis, and further, in 2006, the UGC, vide its notification, withdrew the word “Deemed” and renamed the University as Symbiosis International (Deemed University). SIU is accredited by NAAC with an 'A++' Grade.
