Kreate’10 is to create awareness among the students about the urgent need to create schools that can withstand global completion in the immediate neighbourhood and also build Indian brand of international B- schools.

The process of building a global B-school involves the study the successful B-school models available elsewhere like IEC, INSEAD, AIM, and even the efficacy of offering one year PG courses like that of ISB, PGPX of the IIMs to compete with the globe. The faculty shortage is acute everywhere and it would be a learning experience to know how the future B-schools are going to cope especially if you have to take on the globe!

Student quality from India is very high but there is always lingering doubt whether we are getting the best among these as the filters that we are using today, CAT, XAT, GD PI may be not enough to locate the students that we would need for making a Future B-school a worthwhile proposition. The systems that we are adopting today to gauge the progress of the student is outmoded and we needed drastic innovation and change in the faculty teaching and student outcome rubrics.
Also the effectiveness of the school is based on the way students engage with the corporate; all good international schools are masters in this game. The association also changes the curriculum, delivery
and pedagogy at the school end. There should be innovative and creative corporate engagement models here in India too.
Finally, the B-school of the future should be a fun place, and in fact no place at all! Technology should enable the students to study at their own pace, attend lectures at their own will and yet be part of a live, throbbing B-school that works!

The bottom-line however the costs that go in building a world class school and also running it as in service industry the infrastructure costs would be depreciated fast but recurring costs can be killing.

The industry works on the basis of student fees and there are limitations here and also room for innovations!
Placements are the raison d’être of the B-schools but this can severely hamper the rest of the Bschool process. Admissions, curriculum, choice of subjects, faculty choices, projects, summer placements and even CGPA computation works around the placement effect! “The best CGPA gets you to sit first for placements, even though you may not necessarily fit with the jobs being offered”.

The way to tackle this is more corporate engagement right from the start and entrepreneurship models.

There is lots more, let your imagination run, dream up a great school, a school in which you would rather study or one where your sister or brother would go to!
It is the B-school of the Future, a world class Indian B-school!
