Gurugram B-school takes on IIMs in salaries

TILL LAST YEAR, few people — even within the academic fraternity — would have heard about Masters' Union School of Business. This year — its founder Pratham Mittal told FE — it's highly likely that placement cells of IIMs would have been tracking salary packages of the young B-school's students.

What is Masters' Union?

It was founded in 2020 when a group of businessmen, academics, and bureaucrats got together to set up a B-school. They included Arun Maira (former chairman, BCG), Mukund Rajan (former MD, Tata Teleservices), Karthik Ramanna (University of Oxford), Narendra Jadhav (Rajya Sabha MP and former Chief Economist, RBI), Tathagata Dasgupta (chief data scientist, Viacom) and Bhaskar Chakravorti (former professor, Harvard Business School, and former partner, McKinsey & Company), as well as Mittal.

In 2023, Manoj Kohli, former SoftBank India head, was appointed the chairperson.

Where's the campus?

It's located in Cyber City area of Gurugram, home to over 600 MNC offices, and the opening programme was the 16-month PGP-TBM (Post Graduate Programme in Tech and Business Management). It runs three more programmes — PGP in Family Business Legacy Management, UG in Tech and Business Management, and UG in Psychology and Marketing.
