The Symbiosis Institute of International Business, located in Pune is an initiative under the name of the prestigious Symbiosis institutes that caters to the rising demand of global managers in the current economic scenario. Offering state-of-the-art infrastructure and strong academic foundations, SIIB has evolved as one of the most preferred destinations for students wanting to pursue management with a global perspective. The MBA in International Business is their flagship program that allows students to understand the intricacies of management in the dynamic economic environment of today. The curriculum for international business covers diverse topics like foreign languages, trade policies, Forex risk management, etc. through a perfect blend of academic training coupled with practical exposure. Given the efforts invested by SIIB, the MBA in International Business has emerged as one of the most sought after and reputed courses of the country. In fact, as part of the Symbiosis Dual degree program conducted at SIIB, selected students can pursue an additional degree from the associated international colleges along with their regular MBA in International Business.
SIIB also holds the distinction of being one of the few institutes to develop integrated courses in the field agriculture business and energy as well. In spite of being a farming oriented economy; India does not offer many options to students willing to pursue a post graduate degree in Agriculture. SIIB’s MBA in Agriculture program was initiated as a result of this insight to cater to the rising demand for professionals in the agribusiness sector. Over the years, the MBA in Agriculture program has emerged as a unique course that trains students to transform into professionals who can then become the torch bearers of an agribusiness revolution. Apart from this, SIIB also offers a detailed program for students willing to pursue a post graduation degree in the energy sector.

SIIB has to its credit several accolades in terms of successful placements, student achievements and global recognition. Students from SIIB have emerged as successful leaders across multiple sectors. A noteworthy example is SIIB alumnus, Diyanand Kaul from the MBA in Agriculture batch who has authored a book on ‘Carbon Sequestration & Land Use’ that talks about the after effects of climatic changes on human activity.
As part of its interactive efforts to facilitate students learning, SIIB organizes several guest lectures by industry experts.
