Professionals often find themselves gravitating toward top management positions for which their prior education and experience have not prepared them. This can be a very difficult phase for a professional- and re-skilling may be the only option available.

An E-MBA may offer a viable solution.

“If you haven’t already earned an MBA degree at mid-career, an Executive MBA can help ground you in the fundamentals of business while building on the knowledge and experience you’ve accumulated. The EMBA programme at SP Jain Global helps broadening your knowledge and polishing your skills and could increase the range of career options available to you,” says Dr Vishal Talwar, Asst Dean for EMBA and BBA programs at SP Jain School of Global Management.

The current batch of 30 students in the Mumbai campus has an average work experience of 11 years with some even clocking up more than 25 years of experience in companies such as HDFC Bank, Volvo, P&G, Credit Suisse. E&Y, Unilever, Sharp etc. The cohort is a mix of engineers, IT professionals, chartered accountants, PhDs, medical doctors, agricultural scientists, banking professionals, journalists and reflects the innate aspiration of talented individuals who are keen to take a leap forward to the next level.

Studies have shown that EMBA is an investment which gives returns in less than two years. Though the figures in the actual salary jump vary between 16% and 50%, the fact remains that with a significant jump in income, EMBA graduates are able to quickly pay off any loans and completely cover the cost of going back to school. Unlike most full-time MBA students who are just starting a career, Executive MBA students have the benefit of work experience.

“As an Executive MBA student at SP Jain Global, the workplace becomes a laboratory in which you test what you’ve learned in the classroom. You’ll become knowledgeable about the important concepts of key business disciplines, which can be integrated with your prior background and experience,” Dr.Talwar added.

SP Jain School of Global Management’s Executive MBA (EMBA) is an 18 month program designed especially for high-achieving professionals who wish to enhance their education without interrupting their careers. Professionals can pursue the EMBA at Dubai, Sydney, Singapore or Mumbai campuses.

Information sessions are currently underway at various locations in Mumbai. For more information, visit http://www.spjain.org
