• Council to guide faculty exchange, student mobility, and joint research aligned with global accreditation standards 

BENGALURU: The International School of Management Excellence (ISME), Bengaluru, has constituted an International Advisory Council to significantly scale and systematise its global faculty engagement, student exchange, research collaboration, and curriculum integration efforts, marking a major step in its long term international strategy. The Advisory Council brought together senior academic leaders and global industry practitioners with extensive experience across Europe, Southeast Asia, and India.

The Council consists of ISME Founder Director Dr Nitin Garg and includes senior international academics and industry leaders such as Prof. Dr. Harald J. Bolsinger - Professor at THWS Germany and Director of the Master’s programme in Managing Global Dynamics, Alex Loh - Executive Director at MDIS Singapore, Prof. Dr. Macario Fernandes - Founder, Macarism Integrated Services UK, and Mr. Pronob J. Chetia, Senior People & Culture leader, Volvo Group Singapore. Dr. Rony G. Kurien, Dean ISME, Pallavi Jain, Director International Relations, Ms. Manasa Ravishakar, and Dr Purnajit Chatterjee, Head - External Relations, Training & Consultancy from ISME are also part of the committee.

Speaking on the development, Dr Nitin Garg said, “Internationalisation cannot be reduced to MoUs or short term travel programmes. It has to reflect how institutions collaborate on knowledge creation through faculty exchange and student mobility. The Advisory Council has been created to bring global rigour, accountability, and execution focus to this effort.”

ISME currently has active academic partnerships across seven countries, including Singapore, Germany, France, the United States, Belarus, and Malaysia, with student exchange and immersion programmes already operational with institutions in Singapore and Germany. The Advisory Council’s mandate is to expand international engagements across ISME’s full academic portfolio and drive internationalisation across key academic and institutional areas.

With the support of its council members, ISME aims to strengthen global collaboration through research partnerships, faculty exchange, online certification collaborations and student exchange initiatives, with the objective of enhancing the global perspective of its faculty and students. The Council will also continue to expand its global representation across regions worldwide to support ISME’s long-term international vision.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
