IIMA Online Programme: Unique Programme to Improve Management Skills 
The IIMA Online MBA program offers the flexibility of online learning combined with the valuable interaction of on-campus sessions. According to Dr Bhaskar, “This unique blended format ensures that participants gain the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their career, without sacrificing their current work commitments.”

IIM Ahmedabad Online MBA: Program Curriculum
IIM Ahmedabad has designed the programme curriculum to equip participants with the functional and organizational skills necessary to thrive in a challenging world. The sessions that are held online through live classes are around content and are more amenable for quantitative and systematic analysis. The on-campus modules are designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. Sharing the key aspect of the practical learning in the curriculum, Prof Bhaskar emphasized, “The participants will get the opportunity to experience our vibrant campus, foster deeper engagement with faculty and peers. This in-person interaction allows for richer discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and the exchange of valuable insights gleaned from diverse professional experiences.”

Announcing the launch of the programme on February 1, 2024, Director, IIMA said, “We are excited to launch the Online MBA programme, which expands IIMA's reach and provides world-class education to working professionals and entrepreneurs around the world.” Professor Pradyumana Khokle, Dean (Programmes), IIMA added, “The Online MBA programme is the most extensive of a new generation of programmes offered by IIMA. We expect that through the Online MBA, practitioners will be able to further develop into some of the best leaders and managers of the world.”

Elaborating on the format of the programme, Professor Joshy Jacob, Chairperson (Online MBA) said, “The programme curriculum is designed to equip participants with the functional and organizational skills necessary to thrive in a challenging world. It aspires to upskill working professionals by exposing them to managerial decision-making frameworks that are grounded in human behaviour, economics, finance, etc. The in-person classes conducted at IIMA focus on interpersonal and organisational dynamics that are complex to manoeuvre and hard to learn. On the other hand, the sessions that are held online through live classes are around content that is more amenable for quantitative and systematic analysis.”
