Chetak Foundation signs an MoU with Jindal Global Business School, O.P. Jindal Global University Partners to Launch Immersive Industry Course in Transport Operations New Delhi/Sonipat, June 11, 2026: The Chetak Foundation, the skill-development and social initiative of the Chetak Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jindal Global Business School (JGBS) of O.P. Jindal Global University (OPJGU). Under this strategic partnership, Chetak Foundation will anchor a new, immersive industry course on transport operations, designed to take JGBS management students out of the lecture hall and into Chetak’s live operational environments across warehouses, fleet control centres, and freight corridors. The initiative is part of Chetak Foundation`s on-goings commitment to building employability and industry-ready skills for India`s young workforce, aligning perfectly with JGBS’s efforts to root management education in real-world industry settings. JGBS is currently ranked as India’s top private university B-school and sits among the top 200 business schools globally in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026. The launch of this course arrives at a critical juncture for the logistics sector. With the global multimodal transport market projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of roughly 6% to 7% over the next decade, there is an immense requirement for managerial talent that understands both the operations and the analytics of modern logistics. The pedagogical design of the JGBS-Chetak course addresses this demand directly, structuring the curriculum so that students develop analytical readiness in the classroom before stepping into live field environments—moving them from knowing to doing, and learning from doing. On the occasion, Mr. Mukesh Haritash, Managing Director, Chetak Group, said, "We are thrilled to partner with Jindal Global Business School to bridge the gap between academic excellence and practical industry needs. By combining Chetak Group’s deep logistics expertise and Chetak Foundation’s commitment to skill development with JGU’s world-class education, we aim to equip the next generation of leaders with real-world skills. This collaboration reflects our shared vision of empowering youth and driving sustainable, knowledge-led growth for the nation." Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, JGU, highlighted the significance of the sector, "Logistics is not a peripheral story in India’s development today; it sits at the centre of how the country grows trades and creates jobs, and a business school has to prepare its students to navigate that reality. Our partnership with the Chetak Foundation gives our management students access to an operational environment where they can observe the inner workings of supply chains and logistics networks, ask the questions that practitioners confront every day and propose solutions that will be evaluated in real-world operations. As an Institution of Eminence, JGU is dedicated to contributing to national growth by training a skilled youth workforce for the nation’s talent pool and this partnership reaffirms our steadfast commitment to that mission." Under the terms of the MoU, Chetak Foundation and the Chetak Group will provide JGBS students with structured access to their operational ecosystem through internships, on-site visits to warehouses, transport yards, and freight hubs, alongside industry-led sessions delivered by senior logistics and supply chain professionals from the Group. Professor (Dr.) Dabiru Sridhar Patnaik, Registrar, JGU, remarked, “The Chetak Foundation’s skill-development mandate sits well with the kind of long-running student engagements we want to build, and we look forward to seeing this work mature across cohorts. JGU and JGBS have been working to integrate its curriculum closely with industry requirements, and tie-ups of this depth are how we make that direction concrete for our students." Key areas of cooperation under the agreement include a knowledge partnership for courses in supply chain, logistics, and allied areas, industry guest lectures delivered on the JGU campus, and joint research initiatives between Chetak professionals and JGBS faculty members. JGBS Dean, Professor (Dr.) Mayank Dhaundiyal, added, "I am very pleased about this association with the Chetak Foundation. Multimodal logistics is one of the most exciting parts of the Indian growth story right now, and our students will work on live problem statements drawn directly from Chetak’s operations, the kind of issues that supply chain managers are working through on any given day. The exposure complements the case work, simulations and other experiential pieces we are building into the classroom, and it helps students see how the ideas they study actually play out in practice. We want our graduates leaving JGBS with more than a strong transcript. We want them leaving with the judgement and the industry sense that this kind of partnership is uniquely placed to build." Through this partnership, students will work hand-in-hand with professionals from the Chetak Group on live projects involving network design, fleet utilization, warehousing efficiency, and last-mile delivery. Beyond field projects, the collaboration will regularly bring Chetak’s senior leadership to the JGU campus for guest sessions, giving students first-hand insights into how strategic operating decisions are made inside a premier logistics business.
