Lead and execute
Janat Shah, Director, IIM-U, said, “DEM is designed to equip management students to develop knowledge and skill to conceive, lead, and execute innovative initiatives involving technologies and data for existing and start-up organisations. The curriculum, therefore, emphasises on access and availability of data that impact prevailing practices and create new management challenges which require new kind of thinking and leadership.”
Pranay Chulet, Founder and CEO, Quikr, said, “Our partnership is an opportunity for students to get a real-time understanding of how digital businesses like Quikr operate in this new world, making these students ready to play management roles in digital businesses, digital focused roles in traditional businesses, or be digital entrepreneurs in their own right.”
