Future Proof B-Schools

We go to a school to get an education. We go to a B-school to get life lessons.

Yes, apart from equipping us with skill sets that help us thrive in the job market, or better still help us turn entrepreneurs, B-schools help us develop into leaders — in boardrooms and beyond.

Considering that India is a young country, the majority of the young population would be engaged in vocations, say 15-20 years from now, about which we have no clue. We need to constantly keep upgrading our skill sets so that we are not found wanting when it comes to jobs or job requirements of the future. B-schools or schools that have kept pace with the changing times help us achieve precisely that.

That’s why we call this package “Future-proof B-schools”.

In our annual B-school issue, we thus dwell on the dominant debates and undercurrents in the B-school space. These come to you in the form of stories and reports by BW Businessworld’s in-house reporters.

When we talk about B-schools, we also talk about the rankings in the same breath. BW Businessworld, like always, presents to you the most definitive rankings around — the gold standard for the students, academia and industry alike.

In the feature, many top practitioners and thought leaders put forth their ideas and vision of B-schools of the future.

We also get the directors of the top B-schools to answer questions that we think are at the root of B-school churn.

We also profile the top ten B-schools ranked in the list. This is truly a collector’s item — you will get newer insights every time you read it. — Team BW
