TERI School of Advanced Studies has helped me emerge with deeper insights into how sustainability and businesses are etched together for delivering greater value and holding a competitive edge over others. The case- based approach followed by the faculty has helped me develop a structured method to solve problems. Two years with TERI, have enhanced my understanding about sustainability by giving me the leverage to see things with a different set of lenses, question current practices, push my limits and come up with solutions for creating shared value.
The TERI School of Advanced Studies introduced me to the concept of inclusive growth and development sector, which I was clueless about before. Live cases and hands-on teaching experience has helped me to hone my skills in communications, liaising and stakeholder engagements, thereby helping me in my current profile. The real concept of sustainable development amalgamated with management has truly been represented by the TERI School of Advanced Studies, a first-of-its-kind course in India.
Sustainability is not limited to lower greenhouse gas emissions or utilising resources judiciously, but also higher standards of living for billions of people in emerging economies. An MBA in Business Sustainability has enlightened me to achieving this path and work towards contributing to nation's clean energy access..
