Need and Scope of the Program

The specific need of the Master of Business Administration in Digital Business program (MBA-DB) is to fulfil the gap in the market for graduate professionals, who are employment-ready in India as well as globally. The scope of this program encompasses all Technical, Management, Design, and humanities aspects of Digital Business.

The program intent is to prepare students to undertake work opportunities in organizations and governmental bodies undertaking digital transformation by leveraging the power of emerging digital technologies (including setting up their own enterprise) to design, develop, and deliver products and services – faster, cheaper, and better.

A student graduating from the program and having undergone relevant internship with a company undergoing a digital transformation – and even as a business leader – is not expected to be an expert in the depth of each technology, but should have developed the necessary acumen to know how applying different technologies could challenge the existing business model of the company – altering the sources of revenue and shifting the sources of profits. The need is for a shift in mindset from understanding how digital technologies support the current business to examining how they could also shape the future strategy and business model.
