Inspired by the thoughts of our founder, Prof. Achyuta Samanta, the KIIT School of Leadership believes....."to lead is to serve"

The MBA has long been considered the passport to corporate success. But in today’s fast-changing, #startup-driven economy, its traditional form of classroom education, theoretic explanations, ppts, and case study debates need to be realigned. We must think deep and hard about migrating our graduates from managers to leaders who can not only recite the 7Ps of marketing but can identify an unmet need, design a solution, and mobilize a team to bring it to life. We need a new kind of business education. One that trains students the art and science of analyzing problems and equips them to solve them, replaces abstract theory with immersive experience and recognizes that #Innovation, #Entrepreneurship, and #Venture Development (IEV) are no longer electives. In a world grappling with complex challenges—from #climate #change to #Deeptech to #AI to digital #disruption, young professionals need to do more than manage—they need to #innovate, #create, and #lead. This transformation is already underway in pockets. Institutions across the world—like Babson College in the U.S., HEC Paris, and Aalto University in Finland—are building #MBAs where students launch ventures, #cocreate with industry, and learn by doing. In India too, the Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Venture Development (IEV) framework, supported by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell - MIC offers a fresh blueprint. Under this model, students don’t just write business plans, they start businesses. They work in incubators, engage with mentors, pitch to investors, and are assessed not just on exams but on what they build. This kind of education fosters resilience, creativity, leadership, and above all, real-world impact. To get there, at KIIT School of Leadership in partnership with the KIIT-Technology Business Incubator, a team of faculty, industry leaders, #incubation leaders and startup #founders came together to deliberate, debate and decide on what they feel necessary to create a pathway for future founders. An enriching curriculum centered around the on-ground realities of today, the role of faculty as #coaches & #collaborators, industry partnerships to identify problems & pain points, solution #pitches as tools of assessment and finally bringing together a generation of entrepreneurs who will help realize the vision of #viksitbharat Follow this page to partner with us in this journey of progress, prosperity and peace.
