Batch 2010 - Electronics & Telecommunication - Finance

"The MBA Tech course helped us to be prepared to take on newer challenges on a regular basis and adapt according to any given situation. In our roles we do not directly use the technology and management lessons learnt in college, but those have helped us to quickly learn new things which are required to be successful in the VUCA environment. In the last 9 years, I have worked with three companies in variety of different roles. Currently I am working as a Vice President in an investment bank and leading the equity structuring team”

Batch 2012 – Electronics & Telecommunication – Finance

"As an engineering student, I endeavoured to do justice to my technology education and my efforts were driven by the thought of making good the 3.5 years of time spent studying technology. However, being professionally interested in the financial markets and corporate finance, I undertook core financial subjects as my electives post my internship. At MPSTME, I had the privilege of studying under commendable teachers who helped me expand my knowledge horizon significantly. The business valuation knowledge gained during my stint at my first company Aranca coupled with the NMIMS brand name helped me land my current role of an analyst in the energy investment banking team at Goldman..”

"How MBA Tech Course has helped you to achieve at greater heights?” One of the strongest features of this program is its curriculum - it gives you the opportunity to have about 10 months of internship experience with two degrees in 5 years creating some of the youngest techno-managers in the country. In my case, after completion of the program, I was in a position to pursue a Masters in Data Science despite having worked in insights and consulting without any industry coding experience because the program had me cover a lot of ground.”

Rishabh Srivastava

Batch: 2015 –Computer - Finance

"MBA Tech to me has been a perfect amalgamation of Technology with Business, where I learnt about the rising trends, pain-points for emerging businesses, novel solves in the pasts and innovative application of tech in the current domain. As a Product Manager, it gave me the most perfect base of marrying Business to Technology and explore ingenious solves to the current problem statements and drive further growth.

Hardly did I realize that the Projects and assignments during the college days were setting a framework in my sub-conscious, which later would help me in the successful execution of countless projects in 4 years of my corporate career. Multiple interactions with professors, seniors, my friends, fellow students from different committees contributed significantly to moulding me into a greater individual who is aware of his domain, stakeholders and the path ahead. I till date cherish my 5 years as an MBA(Tech) student and I hope the coming batches do too. ”

"MBA Tech was not merely a course for me; it was rather an avenue of myriad of opportunities that provided equitable platform to each student in diverse fields to fulfil their aspirations. These five years of gruelling academic and practical exposure has not only nurtured my personality but also holistically prepared me for all possible challenges. This course has offered a seamless blend of Technology and Management curriculum, which has provided me with a unique knack for qualitative yet analytical rationale thinking. ”

Mohak Bhatia
Area Sales Manager, Reckitt Benckiser
Batch 2017 - Information Technology - Marketing

"MPSTME has been my learning ground for 5 years during the formative years of my professional life. While the academia exposed me to a variety of subjects, my professors and course material motivated me to pursue six internships starting from my first year itself. The varied experiences across companies and corporate functions where I interned (J&J, Deloitte, Pidilite and RB to name a few) helped me find my true calling and identify what career path I would be interested in undertaking post formal education. While opportunities were plenty, the uniqueness this institute brings with it is the ability to value the importance of fighting for them, thus always simulating the real world. I've constantly strived to challenge myself by participating in an array of competitions and have won recognition across debates, the RB Maverick's case challenge and V-Guard's Big Idea Contest. These enriching experiences have left me with a lot to be grateful for towards the institute and I hope every student's journey here is as exciting as mine has been! ”

Batch: 2018 - Information Technology - Marketing

"The MBA Tech program places students at the forefront of the action - building a strong technical foundation and pushing its potential with the necessary managerial know-how. The mandatory technical and managerial internships are essential to getting students the relevant industry experience.

I was initially intrigued by the idea of "saving one year" with the 5-year integrated programme. However, in retrospect, it is the structure of the course, and the unique approach of creating industry-ready techno - managers, that has really helped me achieve my potential. ”

Rini Antony,
Campaign Manager, Google India
Batch: 2019 – Mechanical - Marketing

"The MBA Tech program at MPSTME is an inspiring course that amalgamates classroom learning in technical and business disciplines with practical exposure through well designed lab programs and interactive case studies. A good thrust on industry focus is emphasised on by two compulsory internship programs and a live research project. During my five-year stint, I was challenged to take up diverse competitions, research work, out of course certifications and internships that ensured that I ended up capitalising on every opportunity that academic life had to offer. I'm grateful and forever indebted to the institution for shaping me into a qualified professional today. ”

NMIMS has helped me hugely in my career to give it the best possible start. By providing different platforms for learning, growth and development, the college enabled me to compete with some of the smartest minds and keep pushing my limits. The teaching pedagogy was practical-oriented, which helped us to explore the courses in detail and decide on the electives.

I also had a great opportunity of being the Student Placement Coordinator (Batch 2015-2016), where I was part of the B.Tech. Placement Cell at MPSTME. It was stimulating to have a pre-corporate experience with corporate meetings, sessions, trainings and eventually getting your batch placed in dream companies. In a constant strive to outgrow myself, I could self-evaluate and progress in my career.

I started my career in Nomura as an Analyst in Risk and Capital IT Department in 2016. My journey in Nomura has been exciting in terms of learning new technologies, fortunately some of the most trending ones in the market. I have worked on Big Data technologies like Apache Spark, Apache Arrow, MapR, Hadoop etc. Currently, I am working as a Senior Analyst in Data Management Technology Department for creating Data Virtualization solutions and working on a project with consumer base across regions. My corporate experience until now has been exhilarating and I look forward to grow in my career. I see this as a beginning which has a long way to go, foundation for which is already well laid by NMIMS.

And as it is said- When the beginnings are interesting, the journey becomes all the more exciting!
