IIM Ahmedabad Launches Admissions for MBA in AI and Business Analytics

Gandhinagar, October 14 (Daily Kiran) : The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad has opened admissions for the second batch of its blended MBA program in Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics. This two-year program is tailored for working professionals and entrepreneurs, focusing on strengthening data-driven decision-making and strategic management skills.

In a recent discussion, IIM Ahmedabad‘s Director highlighted the significant shifts occurring in the industry and the economy, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence. He emphasized the need for industries to embrace this transformation.

India boasts a wealth of talented technologists and skilled general managers, yet there exists a crucial gap. The program aims to bridge this divide by producing management professionals who understand both management principles and technology. These professionals will lead their respective industries in leveraging AI to maintain global competitiveness.

The Director expressed the goal of cultivating such management professionals, noting that no other management institution in the country has offered a program of this nature until now. Recognizing the pressing need for trained management professionals, IIM Ahmedabad launched this initiative last year, adhering to its traditional educational standards while adapting to contemporary demands.

He further stated that as AI technology evolves over the next five years, the country will require thousands of professionals equipped with these skills. IIM Ahmedabad is prepared to share its curriculum and expertise with other management institutions, allowing them to train their faculty through this program, thereby multiplying the impact across the country.
