The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur and ONGC Green Limited signed an agreement on Saturday to collaborate on research, capacity building and policy-driven initiatives in the field of green and future energy.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the two institutions will jointly work on key areas like environmental sustainability and ESG frameworks, renewable energy integration into power systems, carbon and green credit markets, energy storage, e-mobility policies and leadership development.
IIM Nagpur said in a press release that the agreement was signed between its director Bhimaraya Metri and ONGC Green's Chief Operating Officer Harsh Nupur Joshi.
