The School focuses on capacity building for working professionals through industry-aligned Executive Development Programmes (EDPs), along with LLM and PhD programmes spanning emerging legal, regulatory and policy domains.

Addressing the gathering, Prof. Dr. Avinash Dadhich, Founding Director of Dhirubhai Ambani University School of Law, said, “IndusAcX Summit 2025 was conceived as a platform where industry experience and academic rigour could meaningfully intersect. The response we received from the legal fraternity, industry and policymakers reaffirms the need for such structured dialogue to address contemporary legal and regulatory challenges.”
The day-long Summit featured 15 academic and industry panel discussions and research paper presentations, alongside a high-level industry conclave and a certificate presentation ceremony for participants of the School’s Executive Development Programmes.
