Standard Chartered Bangladesh (StanChart) is supporting the premier business school of the country, the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) of the University of Dhaka, by helping to modernise and repurpose campus facilities.
In particular, the bank will upgrade IBAs Conference Centre and Teachers Lounge. This strategic endeavour is aligned with the Banks long-term commitment to fostering academic excellence and contributing to the well-being of the community, says a press release.
StanChart recognises the pivotal role such spaces play in enhancing the evolving landscape of education. A state-of-the-art Conference Centre and Teachers Lounge will provide students and faculty with a learning environment that is conducive to exploration, collaboration, future-fitness, and excellence.
Naser Ezaz Bijoy, Chief Executive Officer, StanChart said: "Investing meaningfully in the education and continued development of youth is one of the banks community engagement pillars.
The Institute of Business Administration is one of the premier institutions of Bangladesh - with a legacy of producing leaders who are currently at the helm of more than 100 domestic and international companies, including some of the largest corporates in the respective industries.
By contributing such a venerable institution, Standard Chartered is equipping our nations future leaders with the skills, confidence, and learning environment they need to thrive.
Standard Chartered is proud to reach talented young people with the passion and drive to succeed. We hope that the Conference Centre and Teachers Lounge will empower IBA in their journey to nurture and train a new generation of well-rounded professionals."
Professor Mohammad A. Momen, Director, Institute of Business Administration, Dhaka University, said, "As a business school, we have responsibilities beyond the classroom to encourage innovation and nurture talent.
And, IBA has come this far in the past 58 years because of how closely we have worked with the industry. Staying true to our values, we believe that Standard Chartereds support in setting up the Conference Centre and Teachers Lounge will help us positively impact the society and the nation. I would like to thank the management of Standard Chartered Bangladesh for their support."
