How has the EMBA program helped you so far?

After one year of studying subjects like Strategic Management, Business Statistics, Marketing Management, Change Management, Operations Management, Financial Accounting, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, I realise my decision-making criteria, presentability, and thought processes have changed. I'm now making the right decision after analysing from all directions. This is due to the case studies and simulations we do in class.

Why did you choose SP Jain's EMBA program?

I found many institutes and courses that offer an MBA or certificate course. However, most institutes didn't fit my criteria as a working professional and family dependency. I was looking for face-to-face classes and class experience based on my schedule, and I learned about ELO (Engaged Learning Online) from SP Jain School of Global Management.

The Learning Experience

Most professors' classes come with fascinating case studies, which are challenging and sometimes based on a true story. You will get tempted to think multiple times. You will learn how to fix things, initiate every detail, and investigate what happened in these circumstances.

I learned from my peers as much as the faculty educated me.

This is an excellent experience, and I recommend it to whoever is reading this post.

How has the EMBA program helped you so far?

As a global product manager, part of my job profile is to grow the specific business unit across the target regions. This requires a sound understanding of several business and economic factors. The learnings from the SP Jain EMBA course have helped me with that. The program has also helped me develop a strategic thinking mindset – how to analyse, interpret the current situation, make conscious decisions, and lay out the future roadmap for business growth.

Why did you choose SP Jain's EMBA program?

Flexibility was one of the most critical factors as a working professional – the program’s weekend evening batches suited me best. The framework of the entire course – academic and practical (case studies and self-reflection) – is crafted beautifully. The subjects cover all the aspects required for business management and administration.

Why did you enrol for an EMBA at this stage of your career?

I am an Instrumentation Engineer. I have been living in Dubai, UAE, since 2011. In my career of 19+ years in the Oil & Gas sector, I've worked across various parts of the world – predominantly in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

When I moved to people management after spending a large part of my career in project management, I realised it was a different ball game altogether! It was clear that I would need to focus, acquire and practise more on my soft skills if I had to climb up further to a senior management role in the coming years. This prompted me to explore MBA options.

The ELO Experience

It’s a beautiful interface. Interactions to/from faculties are as good as face-to-face learning. It feels more mobile and lively compared to Zoom, Teams and other similar platforms.

The EMBA program helped me streamline my career and gave me a perspective on how to leverage my work experience and program learning to maximise my value proposition.

My top 2 favourite aspects of the program

SP Jain’s Engaged Learning Online (ELO) technology was top-notch and the best way to learn amid the COVID pandemic. Though classes were virtual, the platform enabled a classroom environment and real-time interactions with peers and faculty. When we met our classmates during the graduation ceremony in Dubai, we didn’t feel like we were meeting for the first time. That was the impact of ELO.

We had a Global Immersion Project in Term 2, where we worked in groups to identify a real-world project, perform research and study, and come up with a theory-backed, practical and real-world solution. The experience of this 3-month project was enriching as we got a first-hand experience in exercising our knowledge of the various courses taught in Terms 1 & 2.

My peer learning in the program was outstanding

We had successful professionals from diverse backgrounds, such as software and hardware engineers, sales and marketing managers, a chartered accountant, financial analyst, production manager, corporate law and company general counsel, to name a few.

It emulated a C-suite executive exposure where I had to work with my peers in case studies, presentations, assignments, and the Global Immersion Project, where learning from each other was great, leveraging our core strengths.

It is worth your time and financial investment

The EMBA program gives you more than a degree and course knowledge – it gives you the confidence to take positive actions in your career and the courage to negotiate the status quo with yourself and the job market or even with your current employer. As you progress through your EMBA, you know better how you can add more value to the business.

Last but not least, you will make wonderful friends who will always support you.
