Theme : Scaling Up to Stay Relevant – How Business Schools can differentiate themselves in a Dynamic Environment

The 1990s and 2000s saw a boom in management education with several colleges being established across the country, followed by a tremendous increase in enrolment numbers. However, since 2012, India is witnessing a trend of decline in the number of B-schools. Furthermore, seats in several colleges go vacant each year primarily due to the poor quality of education. Against this background, it is imperative for B-Schools in India to differentiate themselves in order to scale-up and stay relevant – scale up not in terms of quantity, but by means of the quality of output. The inaugural session shall set the context for a one day deliberation on this theme. 1000 -1010 hrs Welcome Remarks Dr Nandini Rangaswamy
