Pioneers in Online
Management Education
Central to our mission is the belief that quality education should be available to all, regardless of their financial, academic, or social circumstances. With the guidance of IIMB’s esteemed faculty, we embarked on our venture in 2014, offering Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in partnership with edX, a non-profit initiative of Harvard and MIT. Since then, we have expanded our reach across four platforms: edX, SWAYAM, iGOT, and IIMBx.
The Digital Learning Initiative at IIM Bangalore has developed 84 unique MOOCs, 2 MicroMasters programs, a Professional Certificate Program in Risk Management in Banking and Financial Markets, and 3 Professional Certificate Programs in Marketing. Additionally, we offer two open programs, one focusing on AI and the other on healthcare. Through our online presence, we have impacted the lives of nearly 4.0 million learners to date.

A Note from the Chairperson, BBA(DBE)
It has been a little over a year since we launched the BBA in Digital Business & Entrepreneurship, and we are glad to see steady interest from students eager to understand entrepreneurship and digital technologies. Our students come from across the country and bring diverse backgrounds, including many from non-technology streams. They seem to enjoy the program, especially the contemporary courses.
Over this period, we have learned a great deal about how students engage and learn. One important step has been to understand how to help students socialize at a distance through offline events, small challenges, and through the creation of learning pods, where small groups led by academically strong students support others in the cohort. As we prepare for the second batch, we look forward to building on these learnings and steadily shaping one of India’s most innovative digital undergraduate programs.
