I completed my Executive MBA from IIM Bangalore and delivered guest lectures there and in other forums over the last 10 years based on my topic of research. When I decided to enrol for a DBA program, my extensive study of universities proved to me that SP Jain is at par with any of the ivy league universities across the world. It is my good fortune that I was accepted into this cohort, and I am looking forward to learning from my faculty and peers.

(DBA Class of 2021)

“I earned 5 promotions in 3.5 years.

• : I worked as a Deputy Manager (Strategy) and got promoted as a Manager (Strategy) in a shipping and logistics company in Mumbai.
• March 2018: I started my DBA journey to seek professional guidance and improve my skills.
• April 2018: I got promoted as a Senior Manager in the shipping and logistics company in Mumbai.
• September 2018: Professor Seetharaman taught us many theories and techniques as part of our course work. One particular concept, “TOWS Matrix”, changed my thought process and was a turning point in my life. I used this concept to develop a 5-year plan that included personal and professional goals and designed a personal balanced scorecard.
• July 2019: I earned a double promotion as Deputy General Manager (BPM, India-Sri Lanka-Maldives + Projects Head, India + eCommerce, MEI Region countries) at a French shipping line.
• January 2021: I got promoted as a General Manager (Integration Office – Scope Middle East, Indian sub-continent, East and the Far East) at Dubai’s largest shipping and logistics company.

The DBA program helped me develop advanced problem-solving skills, adopt a clean and structured planning approach, increase my credibility and opportunities, and continuously improve my soft skills.”

This is largely attributed to the strategic skills I garnered during my study.
