Understanding (MoU) with Skyways Air Services Ltd., through its training arm

B-school as per the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026.
As
part of this partnership, the students of JGBS will get practical, hands-on
experience on India's growing logistics industry. This initiative also ties
perfectly into the Government of India's Skill India Mission, helping impart
young people the employable skills they need to make India a global talent hub.
The MoU provides JGBS students hands-on exposure through internships, facility
visits, industry sessions and certified modules from MyLogistics Gurukul,
bridging learning with real-world operations.
Professor
(Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of O. P. Jindal Global University
(JGU), stated: “Over the past 17 years, JGU has
established itself as an unparalleled and pioneering institution, setting the
benchmark for global higher education in India. In our quest for academic
excellence, we have ensured that our students are exposed to a diverse and
inclusive learning environment with suitable exposure to industry. The business
school of the university, JGBS, is forging strategic partnerships with major
players in the industry. This helps create meaningful avenues for our
management students to understand and work on the opportunities and challenges
faced by the industry, helping them become employable and future-ready. As an
Institution of Eminence, JGU remains committed to contributing to national
growth by adding a skilled youth workforce to the national pool.”
Under
the terms of the MoU, JGBS students will gain access to Skyways' operational
ecosystem through structured internships, facility visits to warehousing and
freight hubs, and industry-led sessions conducted by senior logistics
professionals from Skyways Air Services.
On
the occasion, Mr. Yashpal Sharma, CMD, Skyways Air Services stated:
"We are delighted to partner with JGBS, who has been contributing
immensely to the academic world and bringing great talent to the Indian
workforce. We are looking to work with them and together nurture talent that
will propel Indian Logistics as the engine of economic vitality. Logistics is
fast-tracking global trade through e-commerce and quick commerce, thrusting
academic talent into logistics-ready professionals so India can compete
worldwide, create effective supply chain solutions, and be most
cost-competitive for Logistics. This alignment with JGBS will contribute hugely
to the national vision for a skilled and competitive India."
Key
areas of cooperation include knowledge partnership for courses offered in the
areas of supply chain, logistics and allied areas, industry guest lectures, and
research related collaboration between Skyways professionals and JGBS faculty
members.
JGBS
Dean Professor (Dr.) Mayank Dhaundiyal said:
" I am thrilled about this industry partnership with the Skyways group.
Through this partnership, our students will get to experience the logistics
sector first-hand and work on real problem statements and actual challenges
that companies like Skyways are solving today. These activities complement well
the other pedagogical interventions we are doing inside the classroom including
simulations, case studies and experiential activities that help students with
the course and program learning objectives. As India's top-ranked private
university business school, we will keep pushing to ensure our students
graduate not just with a degree but with the skills and industry exposure that
make them industry-ready."
For
JGBS students, this partnership is about getting closer to how the industry
actually works. The business school students at O P Jindal Global University
will work on live problem statements along with professionals from the Skyways
Air Services Ltd., taking concepts like supply chain strategy and operations
management and optimization out of the classroom and into real business
settings. Beyond live projects and industry visits by students of JGBS, the
collaboration also brings Skyways experts to the JGU campus for industry guest
lectures thereby adding a layer of practical insight that textbooks alone
cannot provide.
