MBA Students Gain Strategic Exposure at MMA Annual Convention 2026

MBA students of Sona School of Business and Management participated in the MMA Annual Convention 2026 – India@2035: Driving Progress in a Changing Global Paradigm, held at Taj Coromandel, Chennai. The convention brought together national policymakers, senior bureaucrats, corporate leaders, economists, and industry experts to shape conversations around India’s growth trajectory.

The discussions moved beyond theory and trends. Artificial Intelligence, digital transformation, future skills, and leadership accountability emerged as central drivers of India’s next decade.

What Students Actually Gained

1. Clarity on Where India Is Heading
Discussions on economic growth, digital infrastructure, AI integration, and manufacturing competitiveness gave students a macro view of India’s strategic priorities.

2. Understanding the AI Shift in Business
From talent strategy to innovation ecosystems, Artificial Intelligence was positioned not as a tool, but as a driver of competitive advantage. Students saw how AI is influencing hiring, operations, finance, and boardroom decisions.

3. Real Insight into Industry Expectations
Leaders from banking, consulting, manufacturing, EV, and technology sectors spoke about the skills they look for in young managers. Analytical ability, adaptability, ethical judgment, and digital fluency were repeatedly emphasized.

4. Exposure to Strategic Thinking at the Highest Level
Listening to national and corporate decision makers helped students understand how long term strategy is framed, how risks are evaluated, and how leadership operates in uncertainty.

Why This Matters

Classrooms build knowledge.

Forums like these build perspective.

Participation in high level conventions ensures that students do not graduate with only academic understanding, but with awareness of how business, government, and technology intersect in real time.

At Sona School of Business and Management, learning is designed to build perspective that matches the scale of real world leadership.
