Unique New PG Program by Scaler Set to Disrupt Management Education in India

Scaler School of Business

Scaler has launched Scaler School of Business (SSB) with its full-time on-campus Postgraduate Program in Management and Technology in the heart of Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India. It is India's first business school built by industry leaders for future industry leaders, offering a meticulously crafted curriculum that mirrors the realities of modern tech and innovation-driven businesses.


As with engineering education in the country, traditional MBA programs are also typically built and taught by academic scholars renowned for their theoretical expertise in business concepts and principles. According to the India Skill Report 2020, having an MBA degree is no longer the key to landing jobs in India, with only 46.59 per cent of students having enough skills to be hired. Several institutions attempt to teach these practical skills through case studies. Still, more often than not, these are also outdated and are insufficient to prepare graduates to thrive in the fast-paced, dynamic world of business.

The postgraduate program curated by Scaler School of Business has been specially designed to bridge this significant gap between traditional business education and the industry's dynamic needs - under the guidance of industry stalwarts who have not only achieved remarkable success but have also navigated the complexities of business at a large scale. These visionaries have shaped iconic brands such as Meta (Facebook), Uber, Myntra, McKinsey and Fab.

Delivered in four phases, the 18-month program will be split into 6 trimesters. The first two trimesters will focus on building fundamental knowledge of business administration, where learners will build expertise around topics such as accounting, economics, statistics, communications, sales and marketing strategies, operations management and others. This will be followed by the third and fourth semester, which focuses on functional specializations, where learners will develop a deeper understanding of their chosen field - marketing, strategy, operations, or finance - with a particular focus on how each of these verticals operates in today's digital and tech age.

The fifth semester is an industry immersion experience wherein learners will undertake a 3-month internship as consultants, managing real-life projects in top firms or leading start-ups. The last trimester will focus on building skills essential in the digital age - fundamentals of digital marketing, applications of Generative AI, Data Science and ML, and learning about other in-demand technologies being used in business. Learners will also be allowed to choose electives such as edtech, fintech, Gen AI, SaaS, Web3 and Blockchain, among others, to help them better understand specific industries.

Learners will have access to a dedicated space—Scaler Innovation Lab—where they will work on ground-breaking ideas and projects that impact society under the guidance of Scaler's leadership team and CXOs of partner organizations. They will be able to collaborate with computer science engineers from Scaler School of Technology to build prototypes or minimal viable products. These ideas and projects will also be presented to the country's top VCs and investment firms.

The Scaler School of Business’s postgraduate program is designed for both technical and non-technical job opportunities suited for working professionals with few years of experience or even freshers straight out of college. It is ideal for those looking to advance in their current roles, such as moving from a marketing executive to a manager leading GTM strategy or a sales executive to an Enterprise Sales Lead. It is also suitable for those looking to switch profiles to marketing, consulting, strategy, or the Founder's office. The program offers tech professionals the opportunity to move into more strategic and managerial roles, such as Engineering Manager, Product Manager or Technical Program Manager in product and tech companies (established MNCs and innovative start-ups).

Scaler works with more than 900 employer-partners internationally, including the top names in every tech sector like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Zomato, Airtel, Wells Fargo, PayPal and others, who regularly hire Scaler alums, and these existing relationships will be leveraged to help SSB learners build sustainable careers.
