Dear Students, Parents and Friends,
Technology has come to define every aspect of the lives of individuals, societies and nation-states. From operating smartphones and managing our social media accounts to building and running large, complex systems such as aircraft, nuclear reactors and submarines — all of it demands learning, and continuous updates to that learning.
There was a time when students graduated from colleges and universities, took up a job, and never looked back. Like the Waterfall model, life was defined by discrete events and stages — taking admission, passing out, taking a job, retiring, and so on.
That is no longer the case. Technology changes every few months. You will have to learn new ways of doing things and update your knowledge continuously, without respite. There is no full stop to learning.
At ISB&M, we build our PGDM programme around this idea — so that you leave not just with a degree, but with the habit of learning that will keep you relevant through every change your career brings.
I wish you all the very best.
