In a landmark moment for Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH), the Retail Management Program proudly entered into a strategic collaboration with UNIQLO India through the signing of an MoU on 6 August 2025 — an event made even more special by the presence of esteemed industry experts from both India and Japan: Kenji Inoue, Kamalika Deka, Kanta Nagasaki, Mayank Shukla, Mansi Saxena, Rituja P., Archana Sharma who visited our campus to share their deep insights.

In today’s retail world, success is driven by consumer experience—the complete journey a customer has with a brand. It’s more than just buying a product; it’s about how customers feel, engage, and connect at every touchpoint—from exploring new collections to post-purchase support. A great consumer experience builds loyalty, trust, and lasting relationships.

An exciting part of this collaboration was UNIQLO’s introduction of UMC (UNIQLO Manager Candidate), representing future retail leaders, alongside their innovative youth talent initiative called UMO. Through UMO, UNIQLO invests in nurturing the new generation’s skills and potential, empowering young people with opportunities that blend leadership, retail know-how, and hands-on experience. This showcases UNIQLO’s commitment to fostering fresh talent and shaping future industry leaders.

While UNIQLO continues to innovate in product technology like HEATTECH and AIRism, the true heart of their success lies in creating memorable retail experiences that connect emotionally with consumers worldwide.

This partnership opens doors for BIMTECH students to immerse themselves in cutting-edge retail practices and gain hands-on learning from industry pioneers. Together, we’re shaping a brighter future where consumer experience and effect retail management go hand-in-hand!

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed Director, PRABINA RAJIB ma'am, and Deputy Director, pankaj priya sir, whose visionary leadership and unwavering support continue to create valuable opportunities like these for our students to learn, grow, and engage with global industry leaders.
