IoBM hosts first-ever Chancellor's Trophy 2025



The Institute of Business Management (IoBM) hosted the inaugural Chancellor's Trophy, a spirited inter-departmental cricket tournament that brought together management and faculty in thrilling competition. Chancellor IoBM Mr. Bashir Janmohammad’s generous  support for offering cash prizes ignited passion and determination in all teams. Organized under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Talib S. Karim, President IoBM and Ms. Sabina Mohsin, VP FHE and Chief Advisor, IoBM, the tournament showcased exceptional cricket talent while strengthening bonds across the entire IoBM community. The IoBM Chancellor’s Trophy was conceived as a platform to foster camaraderie and teamwork between Management and Faculty in a spirited, friendly environment.
