of making sure their graduates are well equipped for taking on the new challenges society and business face in the 21st century and beyond. The mind-set has gradually shifted from having to be skilled in one specific topic, to having the capacity to think and act in broader terms. What should business schools do to secure the right set of skills in their graduates for them to take up the grand challenges being created by Industry – 4.0. Under this session an attempt will be made to identify skills and competencies needed by leaders and future graduates to take up future grand challenges. This session will also focus on developing a framework for designing a new curriculum catering to the needs of the Industry 4.0.

2.00 pm – 3.15 pm Plenary Session 2 Topic - Rethinking the Learning Experience In this session, we will discuss the main disruption envisaged in the business education model and identify the actions to be

taken to reinvent the learning experience. In the coming decades, B-schools are going to face big challenges arising out of Industry 4.0. B-schools will have to prepare MBA students for jobs that do not exist, using technologies that haven’t been invented yet, for solving problems we don’t know are problems yet. Mission of a business school, will never be the same again. Schools should be creating future leaders and managers who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what earlier generations have done.

management. Lately, simulations and other experiential methods have been used extensively. Continuous improvements in functional efficiencies of smart phones, laptops and tablets have made it possible to learn “anytime, anywhere”. Disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, deep learning, machine learning etc are making it possible for learners to learn very fastly and effectively. Use of big data and business analytics are also being considered game changer in making MBA graduates future ready for leadership roles. This session will deal with the role of technology in meeting future challenges.

10:00 am - 11:30 am Plenary Session 4 Topic: Regulatory Policy for Developing Futuristic B-School in India Regulatory framework for MBA/PGDM Programmes was introduced in 1990’s which was based on the context of

the business environment prevailing during pre-liberalization period. It laid too much focus on physical infrastructure and inputs to these programmes. Post-liberalization, Indian economy has radically changed from primarily a manufacturing economy to a global economy with dominance of the service sector. During 2011 to 2014, MBA/PGDM Programmes faced a rigid regulatory regimes, which underwent a major change after 2015 onwards. Looking forward to the next five years or so, there is requirement of a regulatory framework which is supportive to innovation, experimentation and entrepreneurship.
