ndia has emerged as one of the fastest growing
Ieconomies in the world in recent decades.
Previously dominated by the agriculture sector, the
juggernaut of Indian economy is now mainly riding on
the fuel of the service sector. The journey from an
agricultural country to the emerging hub of industries
gave birth to a new generation of business leaders. As
the pendulum of the global economy is constantly
shifting, these business leaders are dominating the
world with their quality of leadership.
This quality of leadership is not a formula or program, it
is an exploration of management skills that comes from
a visionary mindset. These skills are needed to be
honed with human experiences, and MBA is the best
platform to enhance these qualities. MBA provides a
positive attitude to change the hypotheses of any
business which can lead it towards the landmark of
prominence.
Understandably, business leaders require unique skills
such as ability to control a smooth workflow between
various departments in a company, along with the

not easy to mould competent business leaders.
Individuals have to go through in-depth, hands-on
training to help them tackle the severe challenges of
the changing business world.
MBA is a great platform with conceptual, theoretical,
and practical training in numerous parts of business,
such as economics, operations marketing, basic
accounting, corporate finance, retail, supply chain, and
the most sought-after course – MBA in HR. It's an
interdisciplinary program that prepares students to
make a name for themselves in the world of
management. If a student is interested in a certain
aspect of management, he or she can even pursue a
specialized MBA in that specific facet.
Students are always in the search of opportunities to
carve their future. This is where the most decorated
MBA institutes step in. These institutes are driven by
the zeal of providing quality education, to nurture the
graduates. It is apparent that the MBA has evolved
over time, and it's logical to assume that it will continue
to do so in the future. With the changing landscape of
the business sector, the question arises is that whether
it can be replaced? It's impossible to say at this
moment, but while businesses prefer it, students will
demand it.
Realising this, MBA institutes in India are all set to
deliver Masters of Business Administrations to the
world. In this edition of Insights Success – ‘Most
Recognized MBA Institutes of 2021’ we are happy to
shed light on some of the inspiring MBA institutes in
India, which are committed to cultivating and
developing proficient business professionals with high

this magazine. After all, the business world is waiting for
the leaders of tomorrow!

at IMM under the Graduate Learning
Program, GLP conduct such courses
for working professionals with
diversified working background,"
states the management.
The school believes that this is the
right time to pursue higher studies for
such student. They are already aware
of the corporate working. Pursuing
studies post the work experience
ensures that they are able to correlate
the subjects and topics directly with the
functioning of the corporate world.
The course can be pursued two ways.
Either a sabbatical leave can be availed
to escalate their profile, or they opt for
the weekend or part time courses so as
to continue working while studying.
They need to define the mode and
purpose for the further higher studies.

he first job is special in
Teveryone’s life. It is
completely a new phase of life.
During this phase, the person meets
new people, gets different
opportunities, and has a chance to
showcase their talent in the corporate
world. Being a fresher, people have
many expectations from their first job
as this is the first time they are
interacting in the professional
environment.
September2021 | 19 | www.insightssuccess.in
22. With new opportunities, the corporate
world put a lot of challenges as well, in
front of the freshers. Overcoming these
challenges becomes a major task due to
a lack of guidance from college,
friends, and family. They need to work
on their problem-solving skills in order
to stand still during this time. Many
institutes teach the students how they
can overcome the challenges when
they join the corporate world. But not
every student can implement the
generalised tips as there are a number
of different obstacles, which they need
to overcome every day. Below we have
listed the major challenges, which
freshers encounter while initialising
their professional journey.
Lack of Practical Knowledge
When the freshers enter the corporate
world, they have a lack of practical
knowledge. The reason behind this is,
they have never worked on real-life
projects. They have only learnt what
the universities taught them. They
gained a lot of theoretical knowledge
but never implemented that
knowledge.
The freshers expect the companies to
train them according to the needs. But
there are many companies, which do
not train the employees and directly
handovers the tasks to be done. This
affects the confidence of the freshers as
they do not know what the company’s
requirements are. To solve this,
training should be given to the freshers
by the companies to polish their
knowledge and understand their
capabilities.
Problem in Working as a Team
In a professional work environment,
working as a team is an essential
quality. The entire team needs to work
in harmony in order to serve the best to
clients or the company. But being a
fresher, working as a team with the
new colleagues and managers is a
challenging task.
The freshers do not know how to
match their thinking with the
colleagues. This becomes a more
challenging task if the person is
introvert. They need to learn the right
words and situations to start the
communication and match the working
style and speed with the subordinates.
Lack of Job Satisfaction
As a fresher, there are chances that the
students do not get the domain they
want to work for. This might
disappoint the freshers and they might
not do their job with interest and
creativity. Sometimes, the companies
also ask them to complete a task
different from the role assigned to
them.
It may happen that initially the freshers
love their job. But after some time,
they start realising that they have
chosen the wrong field. Consequently,
freshers leave their job. But taking this
decision is not wise. The companies
must understand the situation of its
employees. The freshers should also
talk to the company and take decisions
with calm mind.
Adapting the Workplace Culture
Being new in the professional
environment, it becomes difficult for
the freshers to adapt the new
surroundings. There are chances that
the workplace, company’s ethics, and
protocols does not suite the freshers.
The workload may impact their
productivity negatively. Consequently,
they may feel that the management is
not co-operative towards solving their
problems. In such a scenario, the
freshers might lose their creativity and
interest in learning. To solve this issue,
the freshers and company should
communicate. This may build up a
transparent and a positive system in the
company.
Frightened to Plan Career
If a fresher is satisfied with their first
job, the process of learning should
never stop. It is important for them to
think about the future. They must learn
the skills, which may help them grow
in the company.
The freshers feel anxious about
planning the future. During this
anxiety, they do not map the proper
and relevant career path. The anxiety
may stop their growth and learning
process in the company. In this case,
freshers must seek help from the
experts in the industry and get a proper
guidance for mapping the right career
path.
The most common problem, which
freshers face after entering the
corporate sector is difficulty in
expressing their opinions. They might
have a different and right viewpoint
towards any topic. But they hesitate to
express it because they feel that the
management is more knowledgeable.
These problems must be addressed by
the company. ‘Communication’ is the
key to overcome these hurdles and
offer a transparent work system. The
freshers should take these challenges
with the right spirit. They must work
hard to turn these challenges into
opportunities.

have granted ‘Autonomous Status’ to
the institute. It has received A+
accreditation from NAAC with CGPA
of 3.53. All the eligible UG
programmes of DKTE have been
accredited by NBA, New Delhi.
Upholding Educational Excellence
DKTE believes that the world is
rapidly changing and so is the
corporate world. Today's manager must
maximize his/her company's value
without compromising on ethos and
morale. To meet these challenges, the
institute lays a lot of emphasis on
comprehensive learning and offers

Management/Agricultural Business
Management/Textile Management/
Healthcare and Hospital Management/
International Business Management/
Family Business Management.
Astute Leadership
The personalities who are stewarding
DKTE to achieve excellent curricular
and extra-curricular outcomes are none
other than Mr. Kallappanna Baburao
Awade (Chairman), Mr. Prakash
Kallappanna Awade (Vice-
Chairman), and Prof. (Dr.) P.V.
Kadole (Director). Under their
dedicated leadership, the institute is
focusing on achieving outstanding
academic outcomes, while providing
the students with top-notch
infrastructural facilities and

student, which they demonstrate after
they have achieved mastery of the
objective. Course objectives are
written in such a way that they are
measurable by some sort of assessment
and form the foundation of the class.
Everything in the course works
together and ensures that the students
master the course objectives.
Learning outcomes are specific
statements of what students are doing
after successfully completing a
learning experience (whether it's a
project, course, or program). They are
written in a student-centred,
measurable fashion that is concise,
meaningful, and achievable.
Learning outcomes are designed at the
program level—the courses have been
divided into smaller units such as
modules and establish learning
outcomes for these smaller units that
map onto the larger course-level
outcomes. Generally, as the level of
analysis becomes smaller, from course
to module to assignment, the learning
outcomes tend to be more specific and
easily quantifiable.
To get the industry exposure and to
know the real-world scenarios, the
institute facilitates its students by
arranging various industrial visits and
summer internship projects. To get
acquainted with industry it has
established enormous MOUs with
industries.
Achieving Many Laurels
Throughout its journey of imparting
excellent education, DKTE has
achieved many noteworthy landmarks.
It has achieved ranking in various
surveys such as:

corporates including CISCO,
AWS, Microchip, Blueprism,
Paloalto and RedHat. It offers
Certificate Courses using
cloud-based learning
management system, free of
cost to any interested
individual professional.
Cruising through the Pandemic
Team DKTE opines that COVID-19
has resulted in education institutes to
shut across the world. As a result, the
education system has changed
dramatically, with the distinctive rise
of e-learning, whereby teaching is
undertaken remotely and on digital
platforms. Online learning has shown
to extend retention of data, and take
less time, meaning the changes
coronavirus have caused could be here
to remain. The institute believes, it is
valuable to see beyond these
immediate concerns to what could also
be possible for education on the
opposite side of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Accordingly, in order to deal with this,
DKTE has invested and implemented
in various e- learning platforms for
teaching and learning, which include
various communication software and
applications such as Moodle, Microsoft
Teams, Contineo, and a lot more.

30. Benefits of an
MBA Program
while Starting your Own
Business
Many individuals pursue a Master of Business
Administration (MBA) program with the objective of
opening doors to various career opportunities and
increasing their chances of bagging a secure, lucrative, and high-
powered job. However, this should be noted that after attaining an
MBA degree, people can also kick start their goal of establishing
their own business.
An MBA program can provide a candidate with a wide variety of
knowledge and skills, which can help them to succeed and make a
mark in the realm of business. Budding entrepreneurs can complete
an MBA degree, which can play an essential role in their journey to
establish and succeed in their own business.
September2021 | 28 | www.insightssuccess.in
32. With a strong MBA program,
individuals can get a perspective of
how to start with their dream business
and to drive it forward. This program
provides candidates with an ocean of
advantages and helps them to
transform their start-up into a success
story. Following are the advantages of
pursuing MBA before starting one’s
own business:
A Wide Knowledge Base
For any beginner, setting up a business
would be a major challenge, if they do
not have proper knowledge of the
various disciplines that play an
important part in making any company
successful. By studying MBA, students
get a comprehensive idea of the
various aspects of business practice,
ranging from finance to human
resources to management to marketing,
and so on.
An MBA program provides a candidate
with a solid and wide-ranging
knowledge base, which helps them to
reach to a stronger position when they
begin building their own business.
Experts state that with the knowledge
attained from an MBA program,
individuals can refrain from making
damaging mistakes early on in their
career.
Many experts are of the opinion that if
they had studied various areas of
business practice which are covered in
an MBA course, their business could
have been more successful. Hence,
they stress on the fact that in-depth
education in business administration
can help entrepreneurs to take their
company to newer heights.
Opportunities to Expand the
Network
After enrolling themselves in any
business school, students get the
chance to interact with many highly
qualified and accomplished peers.
These interactions help them to learn
more about the business world, its
complexities, the prospects, and the
challenges. In fact, for any
entrepreneurs who are starting their
business, building professional
relationships with their peers and
seniors is nothing less than a boon.
Moreover, MBA students also have
access to the alumni network of their
institution, which may consist of
highly accomplished graduates, who
have made a name for themselves in
the industry. This may provide easy
entry to emerging entrepreneurs into
the business world. Additionally,
students also receive a wealth of
business knowledge from the faculty,
who may be more than willing to
provide the much-needed help and
advice.
Enhancement in Communication
Skills
It is a known fact that one of the most
important factors that acts as a catalyst
to any organization’s advancement is
communication. Effective
communication helps companies to
strengthen their relations with their
clients and distributors, which, in turn,
leads to profits and business growth.
Furthermore, efficient communication
between a company’s staff members
leads to better teamwork and helps in
accomplishing common goals with
efficiency.
In this perspective, the communication
skills one develops while studying
MBA will definitely help in the
development of their business. The
leading colleges offering a master’s
degree course in business
administration educate their students
about how to communicate more
effectively- both through written and
verbal means through assignments,
written tests, presentations, and so on.
Entrepreneurship Support
Any student enrolling in an MBA
program certainly will not be the only
student who intends to establish a
business. The college authorities,
professors, and staff are well aware of
the fact that many students share the
goal of establishing their own company
and be their own boss. Accordingly,
they will help these students with
important resources and other
assistance.
Some MBA programs also allow the
students to customize their studies
toward entrepreneurship. These
programs create a strong environment
of support and allow learners to
transform into business leaders. With
an MBA program, students get a 24-
month window to learn, make
mistakes, grow, and build their own
career path and to march towards
creating their own business empire. An
MBA Program is a safe step for any
entrepreneur in his/her journey towards
business success.
Towards a Future of Endless
Possibilities in Business
Enrolling in an MBA program can be
extremely beneficial for any individual
who wants to establish a successful
business. It will help them to learn new
methods and techniques, which will
assist them to run their businesses
efficiently. Moreover, with expert
guidance from industry veterans,
teachers, and successful alumni, these
emerging entrepreneurs can shape their
business the way they want to and can
achieve success in their endeavours.

Ewhich the growth of any
country is measured. As the
country moves with the skyrocketing
speed with the blend of technology in
education, it is safe to say that the
future is bright. As the country is
moving towards development, higher
education is as important as any law. In
today's era, academics are one of the
critical assets of any country. The
youth is filled with innovation,
enthusiasm, confidence and want to
learn new things every day.
Krupanidhi Group of Institutions
focuses on these key aspects and has
been educating students for more than
three decades.
The institution creates an atmosphere
for students that emphasise
comprehension, ethics, values, and
respect. Under Prof Dr. Suresh
Nagpal, Chairman's guidance, every
teacher at Krupanidhi believes in the
words of K. Patricia Cross, “The task
of the excellent teacher is to stimulate
'apparently ordinary' people to unusual
effort. The tough problem is not in
identifying winners it is in making
winners out of ordinary people.”
Developing Gems
Krupanidhi Group of Institutions was
started more than three decades ago
with the aim to guide and transform the
young minds across nations such that
the world is led by youngsters who
value innovation and are mascots of
change in society. Krupanidhi is an
institution that puts entrepreneurship at
its central stratagem driven by its focus
on learning, research, innovation, and
discourse.
With students from over 35 nations
living in harmony amidst the lush
green canopies that adorn the campus,
Krupanidhi has been dedicated to
providing a space of learning that
focuses on the wholesome
development of the students into
skilful individuals. The Finishing
School Program, run by the institute's
training department, works towards
equipping the students with essential
life skills that help optimise the
academic calibre that they possess. The
student focused teaching - learning
system at Krupanidhi adapts the
concept of mentor-mentee in such a
way that each student receives
personalised training and guidance
throughout their time at the college.
The efforts made by the institute
towards providing the very best to its
students have been acknowledged time
and again by awards and accolades on
various platforms. Featured as one of
the Great Indian Institutes of 2018 by
Forbes Magazine, Krupanidhi Group
of Institutions has also received the
Doyen's Award 2017 by The Hindu for

The Gallant Guru
Prof Dr. Suresh Nagpal is an
educationist and visionary who has
brought about a change of a lifetime in
the education system with three
decades of effort. Prof. Dr. Suresh
Nagpal has been the esteemed
September2021 | 32 | www.insightssuccess.in
36. Krupanidhi Education Trust's
Chairman for the last three decades. A
visionary and a successful educationist
who earned his PhD in Pharmacy, he
has been responsible for
revolutionising how education is
imparted through the many colleges
affiliated with the Krupanidhi Trust.
His efforts to change the way education
have been looked at and have been
much recognised, and he has also been
the recipient of many awards. He has

Award for Excellence in Education
Leadership and Innovation in the
academicians' category of the WCRC

He also coined the unique system of
education called the 'Modern
Gurukula', which focuses on grooming
students in a holistic way. The process
takes place in 6 steps, all of which
overlap and work consistently towards
the overall growth: love, care,
involvement, 100% attendance,
confidence, and success.
Accepting Changes
Moving with the changing times,
Krupanidhi has now adapted to a
hybrid way of teaching- learning in its
process across all its colleges, which
has proved to be very beneficial
considering the convenience and
accessibility to its students and staff
members. The use of simulation has
helped enhance the virtual learning
experience for the students while
enhancing their understanding of the
various subjects.
Classes are conducted both online as
well as offline in different platforms
such that no-one is left unattended.
Events run on virtual platforms while
giving a lifelike experience to all
involved. Efficient integration of the
Learning Management System (LMS)
into the daily processes has made the
entire process of student analysis easier
by laps and bound.
Gifting Knowledge
Krupanidhi Group of Institutions has
different colleges under its wings like
Pharmacy College offering Diploma,
Bachelors, Masters, and Doctor of
Pharmacy courses; Physiotherapy
College offering Bachelors and

additional courses on Artificial
Intelligence, Data Science, Big Data,
and Machine Learning to match up to
the current industry requirements.
Krupanidhi also has Business School
offering MBA programs as well as
PGDM programs approved by AICTE.
Mitigating the Obstacles
The major challenge that Krupanidhi
faced was in equipping the students
with proper skills for the right
placement into the top of industries as
there was a major academia and
industry gap in its higher education
system. The team realised that the
university syllabus, whilst being vast,
was not enough to bridge the existing
gap.
Hence, it started dedicating efforts to
develop modules that could add value
to the education being imparted and
prove effective in a student's career
trajectory. Krupanidhi provides ample
September2021 | 34 | www.insightssuccess.in
37. certification courses in collaboration
with different companies in areas
spread across domains from
technology to quality management.
While it was a challenging task to be
able to complete the prescribed
university syllabus with the add on
modules within the designated time
period, Krupanidhi took it as an
opportunity to revise, rework, and
grow. With better strategical
implementation, not just the university
curriculum and the value-added
courses made way into the college
curriculum; even aspects of personality
development were incorporated as part
of the Finishing School Curriculum.
Because very early on, the team at
Krupanidhi had recognised that soft
skills play an equally important role in
career progress and success of every
student.
Taking Necessary Measures
Since the start of the pandemic,
Krupanidhi institution has been very
vigilant in keeping its students and
staff safe. Whilst online mode of
classes was active, remote working
was adopted for as long as possible.
New COVID-19 related guidelines
were put in place once all the crowd
came back to campus to ensure
optimum safety of everyone involved.
It also designed its own COVID care
facility just to be prepared for any
unforeseen situations.
Regular sanitisation of the entire
campus, thermal scanning at all entry
points, hand sanitisers placed at
different points was done. With
compulsion on keeping masks on and
maintaining social distancing at all
times were some other efforts made to
ensure maximum safety. A negative
RT-PCR report was made mandatory to
enter the campus, and Krupanidhi even
conducted a vaccination drive for its
staff and students free of cost to ensure
optimum reach and coverage.
Words of Wisdom
“Learning never ends. No matter where
we are at the moment, it is important
that we keep ourselves updated and
upgraded in any form possible,” says
Suresh.
While full-term programs could be
challenging when it comes to working
individuals, they should keep their
minds young and adaptive by taking up
different certification programs that
could add value to their skill and work
front. Attending webinars, seminars,
and conferences can be another way to
keep oneself updated with time.
Under Krupanidhi Center of
Excellence, Krupanidhi Group of
Institutions has collaboration with the
IBM career education program where
over 120 IBM certified courses are
made available. It is just not the
students at Krupanidhi but any aspiring
learner as part of its small contribution
towards supporting digital
transformation and technology-enabled
innovations in the world.
Bright Future
As mentioned, Krupanidhi aspires to
become a leading global institute for
learning, innovation, research, and
discourse, with entrepreneurship as the
central stratagem to best serve the
nation in general and the world.
Driving towards Krupanidhi's vision
are the various establishments under
the Krupanidhi Group of Institutions
that work to mentor the students as
they transform into premier quality
professionals of tomorrow.
Krupanidhi Research Incubation
Centre and Krupanidhi Center for
Entrepreneurship are two such
initiatives that fill in the curious minds
of the students as they are guided
towards transformational research
approaches and mentored into
becoming successful entrepreneurs of
tomorrow. At Krupanidhi, balance is
the key; hence the learning experiences
of its students are further enhanced by
myriads of extra and co-curricular
activities spread across the year that
are intended to keep the student's
activities outside of the classroom and
academics. The Finishing School
Training and Pre-Placement Training
work as icing on the cake, with
expanded avenues of international
collaborations being cherry on the top.
Current Insights
The higher education system in India is
definitely going through a paradigm
shift in the way education is being
imparted to millions of students
throughout. With the advent of
COVID, the rapid digital shift seen in
the education medium has been both a
boon and a bane for educators and
students alike.
While the educational institutions in
the developed regions have now found
a new favourite in the form of hybrid
classes, the students with limited
access and institutions in remote
locations still struggle to adapt to the
change, moreover, with the ocean of
information now available at a click,
the education providers today are
under pressure more than ever before,
putting them on their toes whilst
transitioning with the changing times.
The same information load is also a
blessing. The teachers now have
unlimited options to make the process
of education fun, all-inclusive, and
more experiential with different
creative outlooks.
