India’s burgeoning young and aspirational population ensures an ‘insatiable’ demand for quality business education, according to Aditya Singh, Director of Athena School of Management in Mumbai.
This underlines the importance of the place held by the country’s business schools in society, their responsibility towards it, and their potential to make an impact.
‘A good business programme is not only about a qualification,’ says Singh, cautioning against the ‘commoditisation of business education’.
In the following interview, with Business Impact’s Content Editor Tim Dhoul, Singh outlines the approach and ambitions of Athena School of Management, encompassing the importance it attaches to internships and experiential learning as well as the value of community work.
