November 22, 2021: AACSB International, the world's leading business education association, has granted MDI Gurgaon - Management Development Institute, accreditation. AACSB is the oldest global accrediting authority for business schools, having been established in 1916.
Prof. (Dr) Rajesh Chakrabarti, Director, MDI Gurgaon, remarked, "We are thrilled and gratified to acquire this recognition.

MDI Launches Centre On Digital Economy, Cryptocurrencies, Cybersecurity
October 21, 2021: The MDI Gurgaon - Management Development Institute has established a new Centre of Excellence on Digital Economy, Cryptocurrencies, and Cyber Security (DECCS) with the goal of fostering academic debate and research in emerging technology fields.
The Center's mission is to investigate the digital economy's social, economic, organizational, managerial, and political ramifications. It will serve as a think tank on topics relating to the digital economy, cybersecurity, and cryptocurrency, with a focus on India.
"The time is ideal for establishing DECCS because October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month," stated Lt Gen (Dr) Rajesh Pant, the Prime Minister's Office's National Cybersecurity Coordinator, during the Centre's virtual inaugural ceremony on October 18.
Pant remarked that the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown the security architecture on its head, speaking on the topic "Challenges for Cyber Security Post Pandemic." "The pandemic came as a complete shock," he remarked. "It hit us like a ton of bricks. There was no control and no knowledge of how things were progressing. The case study of India should be considered as a classic whole-of-nation strategy and the manner in which we invoked our National Disaster Management Authority Act of 2005 by the rest of the world."
When the National Disaster Management Act was enacted, Pant added, people realised that a cybersecurity specialist needed to be on hand for immediate response in order for the systems to work. Cybersecurity became a part of the critical services at that point.
Cyber crooks are becoming smarter by the day, he claims, and are preying on people's emotions. He mentioned that 1.24 billion Indians had signed up for the Aadhar Card scheme.
At the same time, he claimed that India has risen from 47th to 10th place in the Global Cyber Security Index. He noted that the infrastructure for Digital India was put in place in 2015, and that the Union Home Ministry now has an Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre. He went on to say that the infrastructure built for Digital India since 2015 "came to our aid when we really needed it during the pandemic."
Pant stated that the Union Home Ministry now has an Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre to combat cybercrime. In industries such as power, telecommunications, transportation, and banking, it became necessary to protect critical information infrastructure (CII).
"In order to defend the CII, Industry 4.0, and other emerging technologies, the National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre was established." That's where we concentrated on risk analysis to ensure that our cyber physical systems were not harmed," he explained.
Dark web monitoring, he said, has become a top concern since the dark web is where a lot of cryptocurrency transactions take place.
MDI Gurgaon To Accept GMAT Scores For Admission To Its PGDM Courses
October 18, 2021: MDI Gurgaon - Management Development Institute, a pioneer institute for management education, consulting, high-quality research, and executive development, has announced that the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAT), the administrator of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), will now accept GMAT scores for admission to its PGDM, PGDM–HRM, and PGDM–IB programmes. For its PGDM programme, MDI Murshidabad will now accept GMAT marks.
"We are thrilled that an eminent university like MDI will now accept GMAT scores for admission to its flagship PGDM programmes," said Gaurav Srivastava, GMAC's Regional Director for South Asia. “The GMAT exam is the most well-known, well-respected, and widely accepted predictor of academic performance in management degrees. It aids admissions officers in making "proper fit" judgments for MBA and master's degrees in business. We are certain that include the GMAT in the admissions process would assist MDI in establishing a diverse and successful classroom.", he continued.
The GMAT is a more reliable predictor of achievement than other accessible data, such as the college GPA, according to research. GMAC immediately launched and evolved the GMAT online exam from an interim to a permanent option as an alternative to taking the exam at a test facility after the Covid-19 outbreak broke out. For their flagship programmes, nearly 150 top B schools in India recognise the GMAT score.
MDI Gurgaon Welcomes 2021 Batch Of Fellowship Programme Scholars
August 13, 2021: MDI Gurgaon - Management Development Institute, one of India's top business schools, held a virtual orientation seminar for its Fellowship Programme. The class of 2021 consists of 12 scholars, five of whom will pursue the Fellow Programme in Management and seven of whom will pursue the Executive Fellow Programme in Management.
MDI has a thriving research culture, and its Fellowship Programme is something the institute is proud of. The curriculum is critical in fostering researchers' ability to think across management's disciplinary boundaries. The institute encourages rigorous interdisciplinary research in modern management domains as part of the curriculum, which will enable students to produce scientific knowledge and contribute to management practice. MDI Gurgaon has awarded a ‘Fellowship in Management' to 69 FPM and 26 EFPM scholars so far.
For the attendees, the ceremony was a thought-provoking experience as they got a taste of what lies ahead in their lives and careers.
“It's crucial to know what you're going to learn while you're at MDI,” stated Prof. (Dr.) Rajesh Chakrabarti, Director, MDI Gurgaon, as he shed light on the new chapter of academic life that the students will be embarking on. “Let me inform you that now is the greatest moment to hone your research skills. In today's fast-paced corporate world, speed is crucial, but instead of sprinting the marathon, learn as much as you can. The most fruitful research is that which employs an interdisciplinary approach. Instead of becoming stuck in a rut, develop a variety of abilities, such as content writing and how to explain your research point so that your reader is persuaded. Because data is at the heart of any organisation, it's critical to understand coding as well as the most up-to-date management tools and practices.", he continued
MDI Gurgaon Commences 2021 Batch Of Executive Programmes Virtually

The orientation ceremony was presided over by industry heavyweights Dr. Ranjan Kumar Mohapatra, Director HR, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, and Shri. Manoj Agarwal, Executive Vice President, MSIL, who served as the Guest of Honors.
“The Class of 2021 comprises an eclectic mix of eager youth,” said Prof. (Dr.) Rajesh Chakrabarti, Director, MDI Gurgaon. “The programmes at MDI are geared at comprehensive growth, and their significance cannot be overstated. Today, management education is at a crossroads. The world is changing quicker than it has ever been before, and the rate of change has accelerated substantially in recent years. Technology and geopolitics have emerged as the primary driving forces. We have entered a digital battle as a result of the pandemic. I observe a broad group of people, and it's this heady mix of zeal, idealism, and moderate beliefs that catalyzes the change of experienced professionals into dynamic leaders.”, he continued.
Dr Ranjan Kumar Mohapatra, Director HR, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., shared three mantras for growth and development, saying, "Students, you represent the youth of India who will help shape India with wonderful ideas. We say that the only constant is change, yet change is also changing today. Transformation is happening at a breakneck pace. The pandemic has rocked the foundations of educational institutions across the board. We must remember the lessons learned during the pandemic and not allow the problem to pass us by. You must be agile, adaptive, and purpose-driven in these trying times. The future of work is continuously evolving, and only these three mantras can assist to keep the dynamic ecology alive.”, he continued

Ashok, former MD Indian Oil; Parmeshwaran Iyer, IAS Chief Architect of Swachh Bharat Mission; Anil Gupta, Former MD Container Corporation of India; Sanjiv Garg, MD Pipavav Rail Corporation; M.P.

MDI Conducts Virtual Induction Ceremony For PGP (2021-2023) Batch
July 28, 2021: MDI Gurgaon - Management Development Institute, India's leading business school, has welcomed a new class of students to its Post Graduate Programmes (PGP). The induction ceremony was held online, although it included guests of honor from India, the United Arab Emirates, and London. Students from the 28th Batch of Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), the 18th Batch of PGDM - Human Resource Management (PGDM-HRM), and the 16th Batch of PGDM - International Business made up the batch (PGDM-IB-MiM).
On August 2, 2021, the institute will begin its virtual academic session for the new batches. This new batch consists of a broad group of young candidates from various educational backgrounds, including both freshmen and working professionals.
“Management education, like other disciplines, is not a single discipline; it is a combination of several disciplines. As a result, all of your learning will be multidisciplinary. You will learn something new regardless of your academic background. There will be a genius who will be exposed to psychology for the first time, followed by psychologists who will be exposed to operations management. Another thing to keep in mind is that while not all of your learning will take place in the classroom over the following two years, it will be an important part of your experience. At the end of the day, a business degree is about teaching a trade. We spend two years preparing you for issues that will face you once you leave India, not to cram academic knowledge into your heads. The most important things are optimism, digital capability, and experiential learning.” stated Prof. (Dr.) Rajesh Chakrabarti, Director, MDI Gurgaon.
Prashant Saran, Chief Operating Officer, Amazon Mena, UAE, maintained the flow of the event by saying, "It's an honor and a joy, I always look forward to engaging with children, it gives me a shot of energy and renewal. It is critical for each of you to identify some guiding concepts or beliefs that will serve as a guide for you. So just keep researching, attempting to establish the vision, and be firm in your convictions while remaining flexible in the details; it's the start of the rest of your life. The most useful thing you'll get out of an MBA is the network you'll create with your peers, teachers, seniors, and industry contacts. It's all about people, therefore I'd advise you to seek out people experiences that help you expand your network and go through those shared experiences that you'll remember for the rest of your life. Because it's all about people, I'd urge you to seek out people encounters that will help you grow your network and share those shared experiences that you'll remember for the rest of your life.”
MDI Gurgaon Takes Home Category Win At The Case Centre's 31st Awards And Competitions
June 21, 2021: For their case on ‘Amazon as an Employer,' Jyotsna Bhatnagar, Professor in Human Resource Management, and Shweta Jaiswal Thakur (Alumni FPM) won the Global Case Centre Awards and Competitions 2021.
At ‘The Case Centre's 31st Awards and Competitions 2021,' the case was named ‘Best Case' in the Human Resource Management/ Organisational Behaviour category. This is the authors' first award, as well as MDI Gurgaon's first.
The lawsuit investigates the retailer's unusual workplace culture. It was done in response to a New York Times report alleging that Amazon was conducting an experiment to see how far it might push white-collar workers to accomplish its ever-expanding goals. The issue is particularly instructive since it allows businesses, academics, and students to examine Amazon's culture. Furthermore, the case is fascinating, demonstrating a balanced approach that includes both positive and negative aspects while also allowing professionals to expand their knowledge of leadership in a very successful company. It also allows for in-depth and critical talks about long-term entrepreneurial advantages.
“Doing background research for the case was both challenging and enjoyable. We went through several revisions and our patience was put to the test when drafting the teaching note. It's encouraging to know that the issues we raised are being discussed by HR/organisational professionals all across the world. The case embodies a very difficult issue of keeping experts on edge for business, and it raises questions of compassion vs commercial profitability. Amazon is a worldwide popular brand, and the case captures a highly sensitive issue of keeping professionals on edge for the business. We would want to convey our profound gratitude to MDI Gurgaon - Management Development Institute for presenting us with this once-in-a-lifetime chance to research and write cases.", said winners.
The Case Centre, a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation, is dedicated to expanding the case method worldwide by sharing information, wisdom, and experience in order to inspire and transform business education throughout the world. There are five additional schools from five nations who made their debut winning appearance at the Case Centre's 31st Awards and Competitions 2021, in addition to MDI Gurgaon.
With a staggering, record-breaking 30 new laureates, the 2021 results reflect a new generation of case method brilliance blossoming around the world.

MDI Gurgaon Holds Panel Discussion; Sheds Light on the Need for Self-Transformation & Power of Change
March 31, 2021: On Saturday, March 20, 2021, MDI Gurgaon, one of India's top business schools, hosted a virtual panel discussion on "Transforming Self + Transforming Organization = Transforming Nation."

Navin Mittal, IAS, Commissioner, Collegiate Education & Technical Education, Government of Telangana, was the event's Chief Guest. “Inner change is imperative, and one cannot dream about changing society or the universe unless one has transformed himself first,” Mittal said, sharing his life experiences. To begin, it is critical to determine the appropriate ingredients or services, as well as how each of these resources contributes to a positive outcome. These tools are also crucial in bringing about change in one's own life, which in turn changes the outer world.”
The SELF Community, which consists of executive students from the NMP, PPM, and EMP systems, coordinated the panel discussion. The key topics of discussion were self, spirituality, entrepreneurship, change, organisation, and country, as well as their interrelationships.
