There is a need for a Business program that integrates management and technology, narrows the skill gap, and aims to align educational outcomes with the demands of today's workplace. After months of research and gauging the current industry needs, we’ve designed a program that delivers just that. Through eclipse, we are launching a one-of-a-kind PG Program in Management & Technology,18 months long, full-time, and on campus.

The Program a premium on practical and experiential learning through company-sourced projects, immersive case studies, and direct engagement with industry leaders. Our students will gain invaluable experience that transcends the confines of the classroom, leaving no stone unturned and no business fundamental unlearned. This program is the lever that you need to pull to become a sought-after leader!

At Scaler, we're not creating followers; we're nurturing leaders who will shape the future of business.

Welcome to the era of innovation and new-age business education!

The Need for an Industry-focused B-school in Today's India

The world of business is revolutionizing faster than before. The present times have signaled a clear shift powered by tech advancements like AI, ML, Blockchain and more. Hence, the future of work demands a tech-savvy workforce. A McKinsey report estimates that 375M* global workers will need to adapt to AI and Automation by 2030. India will face an even steeper challenge based on how organizations adapt and adopt the change.

Early business education began with foundational subjects like math's and economics to equip students with core business understanding. Over time, with the industry’s growing needs, it expanded to functions like marketing, finance, and operations. Today, however, the focus has shifted towards industry-specific skills and integrating technology into business strategy.

2024 demands an educational approach that is practical-first, tech elevated and goes beyond the traditional. Moreover, a survey by GMAC emphasizes how ‘soft skills’ like the ability to adapt to technological shifts and strategic thinking will be valued more over traditional business knowledge. With 10M new jobs* projected by 2027 in India, we aim to equip future leaders with the skills to thrive in this digital era. Our PG Program in Mgmt. & Tech focuses on empowering students through practical skills & equipping them with tech.

Our PG Program in Management and Technology emphasises hands-on learning along with traditional lectures. Delivered by industry leaders with decades of experience in building & scaling businesses from ground zero, this program truly mirrors the reality of new-age companies. From industry-preferred skills to real-world metrics, each aspect of the program echoes the sound of modernisation

We have over 1200 hiring partners*

India’s middle-class parents are proudly raising readers. But are they accidentally raising weak kids?
That’s the uncomfortable question Rajiv Khati, Founder and MD at TashTam Group, is asking in a viral LinkedIn post that takes direct aim at India’s “toxic learning culture.”

Khati writes: “Parents celebrating their child’s digital bookshelf instead of their real-world courage.” His core critique? We’ve glorified consumption—books, courses, certificates—while abandoning the discipline of real-world mastery.

“Our kids are plugged in, but tuned out,” Khati says. “Once upon a time, knowledge was power. Today, it's paralysis.”
Despite endless access to online skills, motivational books, and life hacks, India’s urban children are becoming “hyper-educated and underprepared.” They freeze in real-world situations, overthink instead of act, and scroll through success instead of building it.

At the heart of this crisis, he says, is a dangerous illusion: “Information ≠ transformation.”

Khati calls out the performative obsession with books: Top 10 lists posted online, kids reading about grit while avoiding discomfort, and audiobooks played endlessly without applying a single idea. “Reading without context, reflection, or action is intellectual masturbation,” he writes.

And the root is cultural. “India is importing a toxic learning culture,” Khati says. Mantras like read 100 books a year and take five courses at once have replaced actual experience with dopamine-driven overconsumption. The result? “Fluent in theory frozen in reality Great on paper, useless in a crisis. High IQ, low resilience.” His call to parents is clear: stop counting books. Start counting real-world experiences.

“What have they built?” he asks. “What have they failed at? What hard situations have they faced without your help?”

He urges parents to stop insulating kids from discomfort. “Let them experience pain. Let them navigate conflict. Let them figure things out without Googling everything.”

Khati’ pushes for a different kind of intelligence: “Raise kids who can walk into chaos and stay calm… who can take a punch—mentally, emotionally, physically—and still move forward. India doesn’t need more smart people. It needs strong people.”
