The January Global Leaders Programme is developed with the renowned Google Digital Academy for senior cross-sector leaders worldwide as a transformative initiative that equips participants with essential leadership skills, expansive networks, and forward-thinking mindset required to navigate the challenges of an ever-evolving world.
During his presentation, Dr. Prashant Mishra, Dean, NMIMS SBM, highlighted that to meet the demands of new-age students, education must evolve by embracing tailored teaching methods and integrating intensive technology. He also stressed upon the adoption of agile methodologies to align with the fast-paced business world. “The future success of graduates depends on their ability to add unique value beyond automation and intelligent machines, emphasising critical thinking and problem-solving. Graduates must operate effectively in a digital environment, leveraging technology while adapting to emerging occupations. Constant unlearning, relearning, and staying updated are crucial in this rapidly changing world,” he added.
Addressing the audience, he further said, “As educators, we primarily encounter two types of challenges: transformational and developmental challenges. In fact, we don’t see them as problems but take them with a positive spirit. In society, education serves the purpose of assisting individuals in constructing their lives in the desired field. As a business school, most of our students come to us with the intention of developing themselves and building a career within organisations. This career path may involve working in a business organisation, entrepreneurship, working for non-profit organisations, or even government agencies. Our primary objective at SBM is to prepare graduates for the future so that they can make a significant impact on their chosen career trajectory.”
This programme stands as a clear reflection of NMIMS’ commitment to fostering excellence in leadership education. By enabling students and faculty to engage in cutting-edge programmes, NMIMS continues to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in an increasingly dynamic and competitive global landscape. At NMIMS, promoting excellence, innovation, academic integrity, collegiality, autonomy, discipline, commitment, and inclusivity is the utmost goal.
Ms. Pratheeksha Phadke, MBA HR student, shared her NMIMS experience at the Global January Leadership Programme, “At the Business Conclave and HR Conclave, business leaders shared their experiences, discussed industry changes, and explored strategies to stay ahead. This institute has provided us with a wealth of experiences, including case studies from diverse domains, offering valuable insights into the future of the industry. As an HR student, automation is a major concern, but I am delighted to say that through competitions and interactions with faculty, we are well-prepared and knowledgeable. This is evident in our virtual processes, where companies present us with real-life challenges and cases. These past two months have been eye-opening, but thanks to NMIMS SBM, I feel equipped to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.” Another student of MBA Core 2022-2024 batch, Sushant Tiwari, also attended the enlightening program.
The program received exceptional feedback from the participants, who expressed their enthusiasm and appreciation for it.

The participants also praised the inspiring individuals they met and the vibrant city that served as the program’s backdrop.

The dual degree program offers a unique opportunity to study dual, but complementary courses, management and decision science. In the third year of its launch, the program is addressing the current need for highly specialised skills in decision analysis, data sciences, and business analytics. The program fulfills the requirement for a multidisciplinary approach in management graduates. This carefully-designed curriculum is developed by SBM’s academic council in collaboration with Purdue University and industry leaders. At Krannert, Purdue University, curriculum is focused on developing proficiencies in a variety of big data technologies and analytical techniques and prepares graduates for a business analytics career on a global stage. The experiential learning of the MBA program is aimed at improving application of learning through mind-set change in students while boosting their problem solving skills. The program includes intense industry and corporate involvement with capstone projects and 3 month spring internship at an industry partner firm.
Speaking on the course, Dr. Ramesh Bhat, Officiating Vice Chancellor, SVKM’s NMIMS, Provost and Dean School of Business Management said, “Recent studies suggest that we need a multidisciplinary approach for management students. In a multipolar world with a rising demand for technology-proficient workforce, managers can no longer afford to think unilaterally. With the current unpredictability in the global economy, we need managers who are trained in decision science and data handling. The field of decision sciences will see more than 2.7 million jobs in the coming year. Our dual program is designed to meet this rising demand for decision analysts in managerial positions.”
“Higher education is evolving rapidly and on a global scale,” says David Hummels, Dean of the Krannert School. “At Purdue we believe an important part of this evolution is great universities partnering to offer their students the best of what each has to offer. So we are thrilled by this opportunity to work with NMIMS to attract their excellent students into our elite MS program in Business Analytics and Information Management.”
Commenting on their partnership with Purdue University, Dr. Shailaja Rego, Associate Professor, Chairperson, MBA-DSA (NMIMS), further added, “Purdue University is known for its world-class research programs. Our association with Krannert School of Management opens up opportunities for our students to study in one of the world’s premier institutions. The 2 Term stint for MS BAIM will introduce them to cutting-edge developments in the field under the expert guidance of the best in the field, both from academia and the industry. This exposure will be critical in our multipolar and hyper-connected world. The program also lays heavy emphasis on application. Post their Purdue term, the students will complete an intensive 3 month spring internship program in India under faculty supervision.”
The compulsory spring internship carries 6 credit units. The internship acts as an essential training ground as well as a valuable opportunity for students to impress industry professionals. Students get to apply their classroom learning in the real world, gaining valuable first-hand experience. Most importantly, the internships have been a valuable ground for industry recruitments in the past few years. Chosen students are offered a Pre-Placement Offer or a Pre-Placement Interview. Career opportunities include data science jobs at new age industries in some of the most in-demand profiles. These include data analysis, data science, business intelligence, risk analysis, and digital integration management.
