Dear Ms. Chandrika,
Greetings from BTH, Sweden !
Thank you for the information. Our university is currently on summer vacation until mid-August. I appreciate if you can share the signed copy of MOU after it is signed by the Director of IITB.
The good news is that our Vice Chancellor has reserved his dates during Week 42, from October 13 to 17 to visit to IIT Bombay. I hope these dates would be also convenient to The Director and the Dean. We plan to be at IITB for two days during that proposed week.
I will come back with more details once we return from vacation.
Thanks in advance !!

I hope this message finds you well. We have received two signed copies of the MoU today. However, our Director is currently traveling and will be back in two weeks. Therefore, the signature from our end will be delayed.
We appreciate your understanding and will keep you informed on the progress.

Dear Professor,
Greetings from BTH, Sweden.
I sincerely apologize for the delay in communication. As mentioned earlier, the Vice-Chancellor recently resumed office. Due to some new organizational changes and ongoing budgetary dialogue with the government in April and May, he is unable to travel outside the country.
To avoid further delays, would it be possible to sign the agreement digitally and plan an in-person delegation for July/August? Alternatively, we could wait and schedule the in-person signing during that period. Kindly advise me which suits best for you, and I will act accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
