Students can use insights to follow professional paths: QS CEO
Jessica Turner, the CEO of QS, said that students can use these insights to shape their professional paths who aim to lead in corporations, innovate in start-ups, or impact the public sector.
“However, ongoing challenges related to internationalisation and gender diversity remain critical areas for improvement. Bridging these gaps is not only key to enhancing the global competitiveness of India’s leading business schools, but also vital for fostering more inclusive environments that align with the future of business leadership,” Turner.
Indian institutes are nurturing leaders preparing to navigate today’s complex and dynamic business environments. Indian institutes like IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta show India’s ability to shape top-tier global talent.
