GIBS Business School officially welcomed its incoming cohort for the Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Business Administration programs during an inspiring inauguration ceremony held at its Bengaluru campus. The event brought together prominent sports and entertainment personalities, faculty members, and students to set a transformative tone for the upcoming academic cycle.
To prepare these fresh management aspirants for dynamic global careers, the institution emphasized its core learning model—comprising 70% practical learning, 20% fieldwork, and 30% theory—aimed at bridging the gap between classroom academics and corporate reality.
Aspirational Personalities Inspire Fresh Management, Students
The inaugural event featured prominent guest speakers who shared practical wisdom drawn from their professional achievements. Syed Kirmani, a key member of India’s historic 1983 Cricket World Cup-winning team, addressed the students on the vital role of composure, resilience, and collaborative teamwork when navigating high-pressure corporate environments.
Adding to the inspirational atmosphere, Indian actor Rajkumar Kanojia discussed adaptability, lifelong curiosity, and persistence as essential traits for overcoming non-linear career trajectories. Furthermore, professional badminton player Subhankar Dey highlighted the value of disciplined routines and bounce-back strength during setbacks.
Institutional Vision for Ethical and Practical Leadership
Addressing the new batch, Ritesh Goyal, Chairman and Managing Director of The GIBS Business School Group, outlined the institution’s focus on nurturing ethical and industry-ready leaders. He urged students to actively engage in campus initiatives, leadership workshops, and experiential projects rather than treating higher education solely as a degree acquisition process.
Echoing these sentiments, Dr. Pallavi Vyas, Dean of GIBS, detailed the institute’s academic structure. She highlighted the critical role of faculty mentorship, regular class participation, and collaborative problem-solving in building professional confidence and critical thinking skills.
Comprehensive Foundation for Corporate and Entrepreneurial Success
The newly inducted students are set to undergo training through specialized internal frameworks such as the Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship (IRE) School and the Finishing School (CPMP). These platforms are designed to enhance employability, professional etiquette, and entrepreneurial capabilities. With strong placement records and global academic collaborations, the GIBS Business School platform aims to empower the new cohort to become proactive leaders in a rapidly evolving business landscape.
