The best of both worlds’- That was life at Amrita for me. I was lucky enough to be a part of the MBA-MS Program that Amrita offered in collaboration with SUNY, Buffalo. Two high valued professional courses in a span of 2 years and from esteemed universities- It was an opportunity I did not want to miss. The MBA course gave me an understanding of how the business world works. The challenges we faced, kept us on our toes, constantly pushing us to give our best shot! It was a synergy between rich experiential learning and deep rooted values that our faculty imparted in us. The MS course was all about strategy and business analytics. The exposure we got at UB was quite a unique one in terms of the curriculum and the teaching pedagogy. I feel fortunate to have experienced student life at both the campuses. The faculty of the program were SME’s from their fields which was indeed the main reason we had a great learning at Amrita. Looking back, my journey at Amrita was such an exuberant ride. The opportunities I got, paved my path from Can I? to I CAN!
