Prof. Saji K. Mathew, Head of DoMS, highlighted the program's unique advantages: technology-led learning, in-person weekend classes suitable for working professionals, and a global focus including an international immersion program at IESEG School of Management, Paris.

Dr. S. Srinivasan, EMBA Coordinator, noted that the program emphasises case-based and interdisciplinary learning, incorporating global best practices to enable students to implement tools and strategies in their current workplaces.

Students praised the program for its interactive learning and peer experience. Jemima Catherine M., a current student, said, “Conversations with classmates are akin to boardroom discussions, giving me confidence to take on leadership roles with purpose.”
