We are living in interesting times. Forces from seemingly unrelated fields affect a business.

Uncertainty is no longer an exception but a norm that must be embraced with wisdom. Not

only do managers have to be knowledgeable and skillful, they also need to have a 360° view

on developments around the world as they cannot know what forces from which corners of

the world will come around and destabilize their business. For example, who would have

thought Uber, a mobile application developed in San Francisco, USA, would create a

market storm within the taxi industry present in remote towns of India! Who would have

thought that a yoga guru could upset the mammoth consumer goods market in India so

rapidly! Such is the power of ideas flying in these days from various parts of the world. Only

the managers equipped with a mindset that can handle and maneuver these unpredictable

global forces will survive and flourish.

The School of Management at Bennett University will develop a similar mindset in you as

you progress through our MBA curriculum.

We will educate you on traditional MBA core classes, such as marketing and finance, and

will also present methods to tackle forces emanating from other areas: law, computer

science, media, entrepreneurship and engineering. Being part of Bennett University, MBA

students will have the benefit of being taught by faculty specializing in these areas: we have

law professors teaching the laws affecting business, computer science professors

teaching you the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things on business,

professors from the School of Media teaching you advertising, and experts from the Center

of Innovation and Entrepreneurship teaching you risk-taking.

Furthermore, we believe that the future lies in integrative working and hence, students

from various areas can work together to solve complex problems that require inputs from

multiple disciplines. MBA students will often be working with engineering students and

law students in joint projects, which will allow for different perspectives to unite in a

common goal.

Dean’s Welcome Note

A HOLISTIC MBA: ONE DEGREE, MULTIPLE CAPABILITIES

Dr Trichy V. KrishnanDean, School of Management

Former Professor of Marketing,

National University of Singapore (NUS)

What more? MBA students will be able to work with students from the Cornell SC Johnson

College of Business on joint projects concerning global issues that affect multiple

stakeholders including firms, governments, consumers in various countries, and global

environment.

Thanks to The Times Group and their 178-year-old corporate legacy, we enable MBA

students to develop a strong interaction with leading companies by arranging internships

in a wide variety of areas, inviting guest speakers such as corporate CXOs to give talks on

campus, and designing real projects with companies for students to work on.

We have designed our MBA program while keeping all these factors in mind and by working

closely with Johnson Cornell.

Students will be able to study and immerse themselves into the rich Ivy League

environment of Cornell. Professors from Cornell University will also be coming to teach on

our campus, bringing home global thoughts as part of the MBA program.

This is what we call a holistic MBA – a degree unparalleled in India!

We look forward to having you with us on this exciting journey.

The area I wanted to specialize in was Operations especially in supply chain & logistic, and given

the opportunity I would very much like to use my skills in an FMCG company which has supply

chain & logistic as its main functional nerve. In this regard I would like to thank career service

team of Bennett University for giving me the opportunity to realize my dream by helping me

obtain internship at one of the most reputed FMCG companies in India.

Prathik Venugopal, DS Group Reporting Manager: Darshan Sharma,

Internship is a crucial phase in any MBA candidate’s life. Holding two years of work experience, I

was very apprehensive of summer internships considering we are the inaugural batch of

Bennett University. Keeping all my worries away, the career services team has always

encouraged me to do my best leaving the rest on them. I’m glad that due to their efforts I got the

desired role of HR operations in a reputed company like IPE Global. Additionally, the team

guided me before the interview ensuring I’m best prepared for the role offered. Once again, I

would like to express my deepest gratitude to career services team (Anil Sir, Rohit Sir and Neha

Ma’am) for giving me this opportunity to shape my career in the desired role.
