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.
