LSBF in Singapore signed a memorandum of understanding with the SRM Institute of Hotel Management (SRM IHM) on 16 June.

The signing of the MOU establishes franchise collaborations between the two institutions, with a focus on the highly rated hospitality programmes at LSBF in Singapore.

The Director of SRM, Mr R.A. Nadesan, and Managing Director of LSBF in Singapore, Mr Rathakrishnan Govind, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective institutions.

SRM IHM was amongst the top 10 colleges offering hotel management courses in India by The Week magazine in 2013. The school currently holds two campuses and a fully operational luxury hotel in India.

Under this new franchise arrangement, both institutions will usher in a new phase of excellence in hospitality education in India. SRM will start running LSBF hospitality programmes in Delhi, India, with the first intake in September 2015.
