The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), on November 6, announced the launch of two-year blended MBA programme in Business Analytics and AI during an event at its campus. This degree-granting MBA programme is designed for professionals and entrepreneurs who want to integrate advanced analytical and AI-driven capabilities with leadership, strategy and management expertise. Link to the programme is available at iima.ac.in/academics/MBA-BPGP-BA-AI.
The launch emphasises IIMA’s long-standing leadership in designing future-facing management programmes that are benchmarked to global standards and attuned to rapidly evolving industry needs, an official statement released by the institute says.
Delivered in a blended mode, the programme combines live, direct-to-device learning with curated in-person touchpoints at IIM Ahmedabad, including three on-campus modules, guided by globally respected faculty and robust peer interaction. It follows a three-term structure across each of the two years and offers an advanced curriculum that integrates business management, analytics and AI through case-based discussions, capstone engagements and action-learning projects. Learners can choose from 20 electives spanning areas including predictive and prescriptive analytics, product management, finance and risk management, human–AI collaboration and change management, AI ethics, policy and regulation, supply chain digitisation, gen AI and agentic AI.
IIMA’s distinctive case method will bring real-world strategic, operational and governance dilemmas into the virtual classroom, enabling learners to apply analytical techniques in business-relevant settings, the statement said.
Learners will also gain remote access to IIMA’s world-class learning infrastructure throughout the programme, including the Vikram Sarabhai Library, advanced computing facilities and a comprehensive suite of databases. The programme provides a flexible exit option after the first year with the award of a Post Graduate Diploma. Successful learners will join the globally-renowned IIMA alumni network.
