And ZIM Registrar and CEO, Dr. Danny Chanda, described the renewal as a strategic opportunity for members to enhance their competitiveness in a rapidly evolving business environment.

He encouraged members to take advantage of tuition benefits and professional development opportunities, stressing that investing in quality education is key to long-term career growth and credibility.

TAUZ Registrar, Ms. Suguna Subbraji, expressed gratitude to ZIM for its continued partnership, describing the Institute as an “all-weather friend” whose collaboration has consistently advanced professional excellence.

Meanwhile, Dr. Angelo Salasini from the School of Business outlined areas of cooperation under the MoU, including postgraduate programmes, executive education, research collaboration, joint workshops, and professional networking initiatives.

The ceremony, witnessed by members of the ZIM Council including the Council Secretary, marked another milestone in the enduring relationship between the two institutions.
