What Our Learners
Have To Say
Shaifali Aggarwal
Experience: 5 Years
For me, this course is a perfect fit as it allows me to continue my current job
and complete MBA at the same time. For me more than job, learning is
important. Also, content is suitable for me considering I already have
5+ years of experience. MCQs need to be more challenging.
Akshay Mathur
Experience: 16 Years
Absolutely, go for it if you are a working professional and who can
devote minimum 5–6 hrs a week towards online learning. The beauty
of this program is its practical learning aspect with various case studies,
simulations and live lectures on weekends. Apply these learnings in your
professional world and you would see the difference.
Anupam Mishra
Experience: 7 Years
I decided to go with upGrad Global MBA program considering the price
point. I was getting an MBA and the same rigour of classroom program.

of the features I like about this program.
