NOTABLE ALUMNI “The BITS Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a general management master’s degree, but it provides you with a good exposure in all major areas. Finance, marketing, production, personnel management and operations research. The best part about BITS MBA programme is the integration with a 6 months’ practice school (real life work experience in the industry). The small class size enables excellent interactions between the teachers and the students, especially during the case studies that are extensively used to teach real life scenarios. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at BITS- especially as it prepared me for the real world from the day one of my career.” Anindya Chatterjee Professor of Marketing at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, U.S. Rohaan Pereirra Partho Dasgupta Global Director - Solution Delivery and Customer Advisor, Enable IT Global Experience at Philips Srividya Rajesh Gerald Pushpanathan Fund Manager (Equity), Sundaram Finance Director, Indusmedia Mohan Venkataraman Nirupam Anand Chief Technology Officer at Chainyard Consultant, McKinsey & Co.
