CEO's message

In today’s dynamic social and economic landscape, education must do more than inform — it must transform. At ASBS MBA, we believe in shaping mindsets, not just skillsets.

With a background in petrochemical engineering and an MBA in Finance from TAPMI, and having worked extensively in the world of investment banking, I understand the importance of aligning academic learning with the fast-paced demands of industry.

That’s why our programs are not only multidisciplinary and integrated — they are future-focused. From interactive workshops and high-impact seminars to guest lectures by corporate leaders and policymakers, we expose our students to the real pulse of business early in their journey.

Our goal is to bridge the gap between classrooms and boardrooms — fostering entrepreneurial spirit, sharp decision-making, and the kind of confident communication that inspires trust.

Young Indians are the catalysts of tomorrow’s transformation. If you’ve chosen to walk the MBA path, you’ve already taken the first step toward that change — and we’re here to guide you all the way.

Let’s build leaders who don’t just adapt to change — they create it.
