Today’s world is dynamic and ever-changing. Leaders who have been groomed within the organisation are more likely to accept the ethos and ideals of the system that has been developed over many years and contribute to the organisation’s growth. In order to comprehend, envision, and make quick, strategic decisions in a VUCA reality, they must upgrade their skills. To handle the upheavals and guide the company through unfamiliar waters, they must be future-ready.
That is what this joint EMBA degree programme from IIT Bombay aims to achieve. Joining hands with Washington University in St. Louis, the brightest brains from these two universities have collaborated to come up with an Executive MBA programme that will develop the next generation of leaders and prepare them to compete with the world's top business executives. By enrolling their senior executives in this program, companies like Emerson, Levi's, AWS, Merck, Microsoft, Intel, Google, Cipla and Credit Suisse are empowering them. The skills that IIT Bombay has fostered are well known. 25 Nobel Laureates are said to have passed through the ancient doors of Washington University in St. Louis, with many of them carrying out their ground-breaking research there.
This programme’s goal is very clear. “We are committed to educating tomorrow's leaders utilising the principles of discipline-based rigour and analysis with tremendous achievements and assets, the greatest being our extraordinary faculty who have a global effect,” according to Gopal Shukla, CEO of IIT Bombay - WashU Joint Venture. The programme consists of classroom sessions in Mumbai, followed by intensive coaching, classroom and industry visit programmes in the US.
