Delivering Excellence during Uncertain times

Seamless academic learning: A robust learning infrastructure was set in place as an immediate response to the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic. Over 20 courses were delivered online, supported by a committed academic faculty cohort. Partnership with Coursera, between April and September, offered additional learning opportunities.

Strong industry network: With stellar support from our strong network, the business school hosted over 50 interactive sessions with leading practitioners from various domains. These engagements further strengthened our connection with our recruitment partners, making way for a successful summer internship and end of year placement record.

Successful placement record: With a dedicated Corporate Relations and Career Services team, the MBA programme grew in stature with an impressive summer internship and placement report card. The 175 member cohort was placed across 40 high profile recruiters, including leading financial organisations like Wells Fargo, EY, HDFC bank, World Bank, KPMG, JPMorgan Chase, Deloitte, Barclays among many others.

From our eight-week long Summer Internship to the final placement, we look at a well-rounded progression where our industry partners get to match their needs with the career goals of our students. Despite these uncertain times, we are glad to see our students prepared to join the workforce and face the challenges of the future workplace with confidence. They are truly living up to the expectations and our mission statement of preparing humanity for an unpredictable future.
