The Internet has given a new lease of life to the MBA program in India. With the Indian economy evolving into a knowledge based one, lifelong learning is now an imperative. With Indian companies investing heavily on education and training for their workforce, corporate partnerships with online training providers are the order of the day.

24x7 Learning Pvt Ltd, an e-learning implementation company in India, offers an online MBA in collaboration with industry partners such as media companies CNN-IBN and CNBC TV 18. Karthik KS, CEO of 24x7 Learning Pvt Ltd says “The problem with many online MBA programs offered in India is that the course content does not reflect industry requirements.”

According to Perspective 2020, a study by the industry body Nasscom (The National Association of Software and Services Companies), Indian industry is facing a shortage of employable talent and companies are hiring people who lack skills, but are trainable.

Karthik says “By partnering with industry, we have tried to make sure that our online MBA programs are relevant and provide the right skills. Our academic and industry partners help design the curriculum content and offer internships and placement opportunities to students.”

With the right combination of industry-relevant content, top faculty and sophisticated learning technologies, the online MBA program could help avert the country’s skills crisis while helping corporations retain their competitive edge in the global marketplace.
