Dr. Vandana Ahuja Professor & Director SIBM, Noida As we at Symbiosis set out to establish SIBM, Noida in 2023, it was vital for us to keep in mind the obvious-we were preparing students to be ready for a career in the Management domain and for this purpose they had to be equipped with five future-ready capabilities: Data-Driven Thinking, Strategic Problem Solving, Professional Communication, AI & Digital Fluency, & Leadership with a Global Mindset. Considering that we have students with all academic backgrounds, with work experience and without the same, we had to cater to a diverse population. We appreciated the fact that each student was different & each had their own sets of strengths and weaknesses, experiences & learning requirements. With this context, we set about inculcating these skills in our students. ANALYTICAL & DATA DRIVEN DECISION MAKING- Students were expected to develop the ability to interpret data, use analytical tools, and translate insights...

A Management classroom should never be disconnected from the world. It prepares students to lead.

Dr. Vandana Ahuja Professor & Director SIBM, Noida Business does not wait for textbooks to be updated. Markets shift. Technologies evolve. Consumer behaviour changes. New business models emerge. And decisions that seemed right yesterday can demand a different perspective tomorrow. This is why, at SIBM Noida, we believe management education must remain in constant conversation with the world of business. For us, learning extends beyond the classroom which happens through conversations with industry leaders, real-world business cases, industry visits, contemporary tools and technologies, international exposure, and opportunities that encourage students to engage with business as it is being shaped today. From understanding the implications of AI and analytics to discussing real business challenges with practitioners, our endeavour is to create an environment where students don't simply learn concepts  they learn to question, interpret and apply them. Because a manager's educa...

Global Trade Wars: How the World Is Moving from Free Trade to Strategic Competition

-
  By Nihar Satsangi and Shrinjoy Chakraborty SIBM, Noida Introduction For many years the global economy appeared to obey a simple rule to the effect that the more freely countries traded, the better off everyone was. It was possible for firms to produce their products in countries where it was cheaper to do so, to get their raw materials from another part of the world and then to sell their finished goods almost everywhere, with consumers enjoying lower prices, businesses being able to tap into bigger markets and the various countries becoming more closely linked through international trade. In recent years governments have begun to pose a new series of questions: what would happen if an important supply chain suddenly collapsed? What if a country became too reliant on another nation for technology, medicines or essential raw materials? And what if it turned out that economic dependence was a threat to national security? Where is trade liberalization now? Trade liberalisation just ...

SIBM, Noida Student Completes Summer Internship at Pidilite

 Subhanshu Bisht  SIBM, Noida     "The market has a way of teaching lessons that no textbook ever can." 📚➡️🏪 Over the past few weeks, I had the opportunity to intern with Pidilite Industries Limited as a Management Trainee in the Consumer Products – Maintenance (CP-MNT) division, where I worked on a project focused on "Accelerating sales growth through Range Selling". Like many MBA students, I entered the internship with frameworks, models, and plenty of classroom knowledge. Then I stepped into the market. And suddenly, everything looked different. I spent my days visiting hardware stores, interacting with retailers, shadowing Territory Sales Incharges, observing buying behaviour, understanding distributor dynamics, and learning why some products move while others never leave the shelf. One insight stood out more than anything: 👉 Sales isn't just about convincing customers—it's about making the right product available at the right outlet, at the right tim...
