Our vision is to launch the most innovative skills-centered MBA program in the world for the local markets and relentlessly create successes measured in jobs, startups, business growth, and global faculty & consultant employments.Our approach is to start with an existing MBA curriculum by affiliating with a preferred US university, elevate the baseline program faster than the target market demands, anticipate majors for high-growth areas, put the power in the hands of students, offer skills-centered internships throughout, secure success before graduation collectively, and achieve these milestone by actively recruiting and empowering market-centric faculty & consultants, and make sustainable contributions for uplifting communities in USA and India.
This is a full-time MBA program affiliated with a US university offered in conjunction with 1FS Internship that starts seamlessly from the day one. This mix brings the best of both worlds i.e. academic foundation and real-world hands-on work to build skills. The result is unparalleled confidence and competitive advantage in forging a global career, at home country or overseas.
Concentration and focus of the MBA is aligned with candidates’ interests and growth areas presented in the global digital market. Candidates receive opportunities to graduate in Marketing, Finance, Digital Transformation, Cyber Security, and CAM (Complementary and Alternative Health).
This innovative MBA program will be offered in an intensive fast-track fashion to prepare graduates quickly for their dream jobs by iteratively personalizing it via 1FS internship. We want 100% placement and success for the first batch. Hence, it will be offered mainly via in-person classroom coaching with real-world projects. There will be some flexibility with digital access.
Based on the market and consumer needs, we allow candidates to take advantage of our specialized course from our MBA program and get ahead in their area of their interest. We offer other institutes to collaborate with us and co-brand such courses individually to augment their existing offering as well.
