It offers postgraduate and executive programs in management and human resources and is known for leadership education, corporate partnerships, and research collaborations with industry.

XLRI was established in 1949 by Jesuit priests with support from industrialists in Tata Steel, Jamsetji Tata, and local business leaders in Jamshedpur. Early collaborations involved Loyola College, Saint Xavier's College, Kolkata, and technical institutions like Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and Indian Institute of Management Calcutta through advisory and faculty exchanges. Over decades the school interacted with bodies such as All India Council for Technical Education, University Grants Commission, National Institute of Industrial Engineering, and multinational firms including Hindustan Unilever, Procter & Gamble, General Electric for curriculum design and internships. Landmark developments included the launch of flagship programs in human resources and business management and partnerships with international schools such as London Business School, INSEAD, Wharton School, and University of Michigan for exchange and joint research.
