After 2 years of 7-day weeks, working weekends, sacrificing plans with families and friends, it feels good to finally reach the destination and I can confidently say it was well worth it! Looking back, I've learned a lot in these couple of years, SIBM Pune has changed my perspective of looking at things completely. I heard people saying, "You get a bird's eye view of everything once you complete an MBA" and yes, they were right! One of the biggest changes it has made to my personality is that I have become curious about every little thing life has to offer. Whether it's understanding the managerial lingo, or it's understanding how and why a business does what it does? Professors at SIBM Pune make sure you know it all. Two of my most favourite aspects of the course were two-way learning and practical learning. Since it is usually a batch filled with people having varied amount of work experience and diversity, you get a well-rounded perspective about everything you discuss and faculty members also encourage you to understand the same. Practical learning enriched with case studies based on real life problems or problems faced by industries in the past, makes the process of learning very exciting and enjoyable. Despite being an Executive program, the mentors make sure to keep the same high standards to keep you on your toes throughout the course. So, if you're looking for an MBA Executive, I would definitely recommend joining the SIBM Pune.

The syllabus was very well distributed across all the semesters which gave a lot of comfort in learning various subjects.Executive_testimonial Subjects that interested me the most were marketing, business strategy, business communication, accounting and finance, project management and operations. And all the credit for this goes to the faculties of SIBM. The faculties on the campus were very friendly and came with lot of industry experience to impart best in class knowledge to their students.

With experience we reach a position where we start managing teams, but many times the way of management may not be the right way. This is what made me look out for opportunities where I could sharpen my management skills, understand the different aspects and the best practices of leading teams. I was looking out for a program that I could pursue along with work but without compromise on quality. After months of research, the only name that stood out was SIBM Executive MBA program. Now after completion of the program I feel very fortunate that I was able to be a part of this prestigious institute.

As I started my professional journey it was painful for me to part ways with academics – something I truly enjoy and adore. Finally, it was June 2019, when I decided that I am going to take up a professional course. But then, what about job? ..and that’s where I learnt about this excellent MBA Executive programme at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune. “Learning + Earning, Wow! that’s a great combination”, I thought. Since then, there has been no looking back. At SIBM, the thirst that I had for knowledge and learning was quenched. The well-trained faculty, the peer-learning opportunity and thoughtfully designed courses are all the factors that transformed my professional journey. While gaining a rich industry experience of 11+ years, its often required to weed-out some learnings. Executive MBA programme is that, very, plethora of knowledge which not just refreshes our old-school concepts but also adds to the repository and many a times encourages to even unlearn. The design of the course over the semesters is such that, it will help you gain clarity of most industry jargons, decide upon what is it that interests you and get you back to ethics and moral values (Thanks to the well tutored course of Indian Ethos & Values for Management). All in all, I am glad that I am a part of the SIBM, Pune family.
