NEW DELHI: The Indian Institute of Management (IIM Sambalpur) has started classes of its first MBA batch for working professionals in Delhi. The programme offers specialisation in data Science and product management, innovation and startup and other functional domains.
The MBA programme was introduced by Poonam Kumar, chairperson of MBA for Professionals. The event was moderated by Amrut Mohanty while the vote of thanks was delivered by SH Rao.
IIM Sambalpur said that an 80-year-old entrepreneur, GM Gupta, has also joined the MBA programme in Delhi. Sharing his passion for learning, Gupta said before joining this programme, he had completed his PhD as well. He operates a startup in the defence sector while he has also worked for a long time in DCM Shriram. Given that he is overseeing a startup, he believes that acquiring new technologies, knowledge through case studies, and unlearning the old would enable him to manage it more effectively, he added.
Alok Kumar Mishra, joint secretary of the Association of Indian Universities, New Delhi said the credit system introduced in the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) has allowed students to participate across institutions within the country and across other countries.

Mahadeo Jaiswal, director of the IIM Sambalpur said, “As the industries are evolving, the need for management education similarly has also evolved. It is important to promote innovation-driven entrepreneurship which has created the need for Indian B-schools to foster innovation and integrity. I think these factors will have a positive impact on the country's GDP in times to come.”
Keynote speaker Shatanik Goswami, lead consultant at Google Cloud Consulting congratulated Jaiswal on the milestone and discussed the essence of product management. He emphasised the importance of aligning three important elements of a startup, i.e. business, interests, and experience.
