New Delhi [India], November 21: Fortune Institute of International Business (FIIB), New Delhi, has joined the ranks of the world's top business schools after being awarded the prestigious AACSB International Accreditation -- a recognition earned by fewer than 6% of business schools globally and placing FIIB among the top 1% of business schools in India. This milestone places FIIB among an elite group of Rs 1,050+ accredited institutions worldwide and only 27 in India, underscoring its commitment to excellence, impact, and continuous improvement.

The AACSB Accreditation Award Ceremony, held at the FIIB campus, was a landmark celebration of FIIB's three-decade journey toward global excellence.

The celebration began with a traditional welcome ceremony for Dr. Lily Bi and the AACSB delegation, hosted by FIIB's leadership, faculty, and student representatives. It was followed by an opening address by Dr. Radhika Shrivastava, CEO of FIIB, who expressed pride in the collective achievement and reaffirmed the institution's commitment to shaping globally responsible leaders.

It reinforces our belief that you matter and that learning should never stop" said Dr. Radhika Shrivastava, CEO, FIIB.

FIIB's commitment to earning accreditation is a true reflection of their dedication--not only to their students, alumni network, and greater business community, but to the higher education industry as a whole. Today's students are tomorrow's business leaders, and the addition of FIIB to the network of AACSB-accredited business schools will have a lasting positive impact for their institution, both locally and globally. - Dr. Lily Bi, President and CEO, AACSB International
