Navi Mumbai, May 2026: ITM Business School has strengthened its commitment to future-focused management education by integrating AI modules across all MBA specializations while introducing a dedicated MBA in Applied AI program designed for students seeking AI-first careers. With this initiative, every MBA student at the institution graduates with practical exposure to artificial intelligence, regardless of specialization, ensuring that future management professionals are prepared for the evolving demands of the modern workplace.
The institution has embedded AI learning into programs across Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Operations, and other business domains to ensure students understand how artificial intelligence can be applied within their respective industries. The MBA in Applied AI, however, has been developed as a specialized and immersive program for students who want to build careers centered on AI-enabled business transformation and innovation. The program focuses on developing professionals who can not only understand AI but also design and implement AI-driven systems across organizations.
The curriculum emphasizes practical, industry-relevant learning and is designed to help students gain hands-on expertise in AI tools, automation systems, intelligent agents, and AI-driven workflows. Students are trained to deploy AI solutions across business functions, automate processes that traditionally required large operational teams, and accelerate strategic decision-making using data-driven technologies. The program also focuses on helping students understand how AI can be embedded into the operational framework of organizations to improve efficiency, scalability, and innovation.
“Organizations are no longer seeking professionals who merely understand management concepts,” said Dr. Lakshmi Mohan, Director, ITM Business School and Pro Vice Chancellor, ITM Skills University. “They want people who can effectively work alongside AI systems, intelligent agents, and AI-driven workflows. Our MBA in Applied AI has been designed to prepare students for this shift by equipping them with practical, industry-relevant AI capabilities that will define the future of work.”
For over 35 years, ITM Business School has introduced specialized programs aligned with emerging industry trends, including Digital Marketing, Analytics, and FinTech. The MBA in Applied AI continues this approach by addressing the increasing demand for AI-ready professionals who can lead organizations through digital transformation. Through its integrated AI-focused curriculum, ITM aims to ensure that every graduate enters the workforce equipped with the skills required for the AI-driven economy.
