I.D.E.A Masterclass

In the contemporary and fiercely competitive landscape of the business world, the acquisition of theoretical knowledge alone is no longer seen as adequate for students to flourish in their professional trajectories. It is imperative for individuals to acquire familiarity with industry best practices, new trends, and the pragmatic obstacles encountered by professionals across many disciplines.

One of the cornerstones of our approach is the IDEA Masterclass, the integration of expert engagement from industries and specific areas, tailored to the specialization chosen by our students. Due to its indispensability and integrative nature, the facilitation rendered by experienced professionals significantly enriches our aspiring professionals’ educational experience. Furthermore, it enhances their critical thinking and expands their perspectives. These interactions nurture a culture of lifelong learning in the minds of our students, encouraging them to stay curious, explore new learnings and continue their journey to seek knowledge.

This method is designed to provide specialised training to our students in their opted area of specialisation in accordance to the subjects relevant to their curriculum. The subject matter experts, who possess extensive knowledge and skill in their respective domains or sectors, are often individuals at the leadership level. These experts represent the organisation and are tasked with the responsibility of formulating and implementing the company’s strategies. Hence, the wealth of knowledge and the insights given by them to our students are invaluable.

These Masterclasses are intended to:

bring in extensive industry knowledge and insights into the classroom, helping our students understand the real-world applications of their academic studies,
expose our students to current industry trends, challenges, and best practices, making their education more relevant and practical,
provide valuable career advice, helping students make informed decisions about their academic paths and future job prospects,
Inspire and motivate students to set higher career goals and work diligently towards achieving them,
provide practical insights and skills that can be directly applied to coursework and future careers, enhancing students’ employability,
encourage critical thinking in students to analyse real-world challenges and proposed solutions.

The Horse's Mouth

Choosing one’s career path is the most tormenting dilemma that every graduate or aspiring professional faces. One needs to get adequate information, insights, and above all, the right kind of guidance and counselling before he or she can make a well-thought and confident decision.

The primary objective of the Horse’s Mouth series is to provide students with practical knowledge and invaluable insights in the fields of Human Resources Management, Finance, Logistics, Marketing, Business Analytics, and Entrepreneurship directly from a veteran of a particular domain or sector. By bringing Industry Practitioners into the educational ecosystem, we aim to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, thereby preparing students to choose the right domain or sector, in which they would like to pursue their career.

This initiative is intended to not only enhance their academic experience but also to ensure that they are well-prepared to make meaningful contributions to their respective industries upon graduation.

In this series of interventions, the veteran Industry Practitioner shares with the students a very wide and comprehensive range of information and personal experiences pertaining to his/her specific domain or sector. The purpose is to bring to the students all the relevant input and insights they need to make a well- informed decision while choosing a specialisation or career path that is most suited to their personality, temperament and passion.

The intended outcomes of these sessions are:

Practical insights and real-world examples, helping them understand the nuances of the domain/sector.
Guidance on career paths, skills development, and the competencies required to excel in their chosen field.
Exposure to the latest trends, technologies, and innovations shaping their respective industries.
Insights into potential career or entrepreneurial opportunities in the domain, both at present as well as in the future.
