Yes, GIBS Bangalore does provide opportunities for international exposure as part of the student experience.

I completed my studies at GIBS, and I liked that the learning wasn't limited to regular classroom sessions. There were opportunities to understand international business, interact through different academic and industry sessions, and get a broader view of how businesses work globally.

Along with that, the internships, projects and industry interactions also helped me understand business from a practical point of view.

So if you're looking for a PGDM where you get international exposure along with practical industry learning, GIBS Bangalore is definitely worth considering.
