Giving to Krea
IFMR GSB’s flagship programme is designed to be a career accelerator, where students learn to move fast, think big and lead early. From the get go, they are deep diving into tailor made internships, consulting with entrepreneurs, and packing their resume with experiences.
The 5-year Integrated MBA programme was born from the firm belief that a leader needs to get started young, straight out of school, and be provided with domain knowledge and an understanding of the world of business and management through their undergraduate journey. From flexible exit options, strong concentration streams, to experiences curated across each term, the programme is exclusively designed to be the first degree, which gears up young learners to tackle business challenges, right from day one.
There is a growing realisation, both in the business community and academia that business-management is a profession, and not merely a gateway to a managerial role. This is exactly what sets our Integrated MBA programme apart.
