About the Summit

Numerous career options have come and gone, but like a true icon, MBA has never gone out of style. Right from creating skilled business resources, fuelling the Second Industrial Revolution in the United States of America, to managing Public Sector Units in India, B-schools have played a significant role in transforming the global business landscape in the last 100 years.
Currently, MBAs lead Google, Apple, Microsoft and Walmart - the most-valued companies in the world. In fact, 42.6% of the Fortune 500 companies are MBAs*. Closer to home, Naukri.com, Quicker, Delhivery, and Swiggy are just some of the successful start-up brainchild of MBAs.
As a new decade dawns, there are a few questions that the young, impatient, digital citizens seem to have about MBA. We say, an MBA is much more than a degree. It is an enabler. But don't go by our words alone. See what thought leaders from corporations, CEOs of start-ups, gurus of investment, and experts on machine learning have to say.

Start-Up world

The fast pace of technology, digital adaptation, ubiquitous internet-enabled devices has fueled the growth of existing as well as new startups. While startups break the stereotypes and bring in new products, they need traditional functions like marketing, sales, business development, finance, and customer service to ensure proper sandboxing to enable the growth of the company into a fullfledged enterprise and reach the first milestone - Becoming Profitable...and grow beyond the startup phase.
