About the programme
Business today cannot be separated from technology. Data, software and artificial intelligence now
sit at the centre of how firms compete, how markets work and how value is created, and the
managers who lead well are those who understand both the logic of business and the workings of
the technology transforming it. The four-year BBA (Honours) is built for that reality. It is a
greenfield programme, designed from first principles rather than adapted from an older model, to
prepare graduates who can reason across business, technology and society and contribute from
their first day at work.
The programme is delivered in partnership with an international university, which gives it an
international dimension from the outset. The partnership begins with visiting faculty, shared
courses and summer courses, and will grow into faculty exchange, credit-bearing mobility and
research and internship pathways, so that students learn within a global academic community
rather than a purely local one.
The curriculum rests on four academic cores, taught in an integrated way rather than in isolation:
Business; Technology and AI; Liberal Studies; and Entrepreneurial and Workplace Readiness.
Learning follows the LEAP framework of Learn, Engage, Apply and Practice, which combines
rigorous coursework with sustained experiential and industry-embedded work. Every student
takes two of four concentrations (indicative): Analytics and Decision-Making; Venture Building and
Innovation; Health Systems and MedTech; and Global Affairs and Geopolitics. Concentrations
replace conventional specialisations, giving students depth in an emerging domain while keeping
the breadth to navigate a changing world. The programme overall lets students learn not only
about organisations but from them. The first cohort begins in September 2026 on the Bengaluru
campus, aligned to the National Education Policy 2020.
The four tracks
● Business: the analytical and functional foundations of management, spanning marketing,
economics, finance, accounting, strategy, operations, analytics and law, taught as the core
discipline of how organisations create and sustain value.
● Technology and AI: computational thinking, data analytics, machine learning and
generative AI, together with the practice of building digital products and platforms, so that
students can both use and reason about the technologies now central to business.
● Liberal Studies: writing, reasoning, ethics, and Indian philosophy and knowledge systems,
developing the breadth, judgement and human understanding that distinguish good
managers.
● Entrepreneurial and Workplace Readiness: the entrepreneurial mindset, design thinking,
negotiation, leadership, communication and professional excellence, developed largely
through practice so that graduates are productive from day one.
