From the desk of Acting Vice-Chancellor Academic programmes at the TERI University are focused around the challenges of providing for a rising global population with a limited and degraded natural resource base. In moving towards sustainability, the implicit understanding is that there is no panacea or straight road, with recognized and established methodologies, tools or specializations leading to such development. The solutions therefore do not lie in a specific subject discipline, but must be appropriate and relevant to the context or the practical problem being addressed. Developing such an understanding among its students is best achieved through exposure to a variety of subjects, tools, and methodologies offered in interdisciplinary mode. This has been the guiding philosophy behind the programmes offered by the TERI University and is practised by building a theoretical understanding in courses covering a variety of traditional disciplines, such as ecology, natural and social sciences, governance, policy, law, and engineering.

At the TERI University, students are exposed to a new way of thinking that looks at problems not from the lens of a subject specialist, but from the perspective of one who recognizes the complex linkages between man and his environment.

The TERI University’s programmes are unique, not only in terms of the degrees, but in terms of the fact that they equip the graduates to lead in a resource-sensitive world. The programmes leverage TERI’s knowledge capital in sustainable development to deepen the social and ethical consciousness of higher education in India.

We are sure that you will find graduates of these programmes to be competent leaders with a holistic and long-term perspective for a world that demands new skills and attitude.

Your feedback will be most valuable to us, and we look forward to it.

The TERI University’s MBA programmes (MBA Business Sustainability and MBA Infrastructure) strive to produce future leaders through an integrated and well-balanced curriculum that not only emphasizes financial returns for the shareholder but also adds to value creation for them, viz., the customers, employees, suppliers, intermediaries, and the society and nature at large. The TERI University recognizes that India’s future can be shaped only by leaders and entrepreneurs who are sensitive to the needs of society and environment.

The MBA programmes have been designed in a manner that equips a student to respond to the complex business requirements that arise in a changing global business environment.

The duration of the MBA programme offered at the University is two years, divided into four semesters. This programme not only covers the conventional management subjects, as in other business schools, but also leverages TERI’s

knowledge and intellectual capital in sustainable development to deepen the social and ethical consciousness of management education in India.

The graduates of the programme become competent business leaders with a holistic and long-term perspective for a world that demands new skills and attitudes, business processes, technology, and intellectual capital. The core courses in the first year cover Strategy, Marketing, Finance and Accounting, Managerial Economics, Organizational Behaviour, and Operations and Quantitative Decisions. The second year of the programme focuses more on electives where the students choose subjects from Finance and Accounting and Marketing and Sales. Apart from this, the MBA Infrastructure students also choose their sectoral specialization from transport, energy, and urban infrastructure. In other activities, the programme instils a sense of social responsibility and ecological stewardship by encouraging students’ participation in various research projects.

Seminar on New Companies Act and CSR by Dr Bhaskar Chatterjee, Director General and CEO, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs, Government of India

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE MBA (BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY)

Need for Sustainability in IndiaBusinesses across the globe are realizing the importance of integrating sustainability into business practices. Much of the pressure is coming in through various stakeholders, such as customers, shareholders, and the government. India, being one of the world’s largest and fastest growing economies, requires optimal utilization of its natural and human resources to generate equitable growth, and it is evident that the future lies with those companies that integrate sustainability into their business practices. Companies in India have taken cognizance to the same. For instance, The Carbon Disclosure Project, India, witnessed a 35 per cent increase in reporting from 2007–11, highlighting the rising trend of sustainability reporting to ensure greater organizational transparency.

Sustainable practices provide companies with better access to markets, finance, and resources and additionally bring with it tax savings and tax benefits. The ‘two per cent of profits as CSR’ norm is expected to bring an outflow of R 63 billion from the top 500 listed companies in India, and having management professionals trained in sustainability within the organization not only optimize business operations but also ensure that this legally mandated outflow generates positive returns to the company.

Although the notion of maximizing profit and addressing society’s needs has been recognized by businesses long back, sustainability issues have been hovering merely around the periphery of business operations. The growing sensitivity of the market, globally and locally, towards environmental, social, and governmental issues, however, provides ample reasons for businesses to bring economic logic closer to these considerations. Hence, sustainability issues are fast becoming the focal point of core business strategies worldwide and the market has also started attaching a premium to this cause. With almost all major transnational firms having initiated the process of incorporating sustainability issues into their core business strategies, the UN has urged the business world for ‘responsible investment’. The entire business paradigm is warming up to face the reality of the new challenge involved in internalizing the concept of sustainability in the days ahead.

The contemporary business models that are followed worldwide have not only generated unforeseen levels of technological innovation and economic growth but have also made emerging economies such as India more vulnerable by putting severe strains on its environment, personal lives, and social systems. At TERI University, we strongly believe that future managers should adopt business strategies in favour of healthy ecosystems and equitable society that essentially provide the fulcrum of an inclusive growth process. The MBA in Business Sustainability programme not only equips the students with acumen to lead in a resource-sensitive world, but also allows them adequate room to inculcate the basic tenets of inclusion and sustainability. The Programme includes conventional MBA courses in Marketing, Business Strategy, Finance, and IT apart from a wide choice of electives that provides the students with an excellent overview of management issues with sustainability concepts also being integrated into the same.

Why Hire Us?

With the new Companies Act, 2013 companies are gearing up to develop their internal Corporate Social Responsibility teams. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs expects companies to have all their CSR programmes in a project documented mode. This would require a dire need for management professionals with skilled expertise in the area of CSR and Sustainability. Also, with the enforcement of stricter environmental and corporate governance laws, companies need to be increasingly compliant to ensure their own sustainability. To add to it, sustainability-related disclosures are becoming increasingly mandatory (e.g., SEBI circular – CIR/CFD/DIL/8/2012).

The students of this course are exposed to an industry-competent curriculum that aims at helping businesses bridge the gap. Courses such as Principles and Concepts of Sustainability, Climate Change and Development, Sustainability Reporting and CSR, Sustainable Business Strategy, Business and Society, and Environmental Economics help the students recognize the need, challenges, and ways to approach long-term viability of businesses through management and optimization of resources without compromising on profitability and competitiveness.

MBA (INFRASTRUCTURE)

Need for Infrastructure in IndiaInfrastructure is imperative for any nation’s economic development and can be defined as the goods and services required for an economy to function. A vibrant Indian economy requires a vibrant infrastructure sector, enabling its industries, and people to attain their full economic potential. In the present economic environment, infrastructure is the need of the hour for attaining a high growth trajectory. At the same time, the infrastructural deficit presently found provides opportunities for organizations to profitably meet this unmet need.

The TERI University is the first university in the country to offer an MBA programme in infrastructure. The increasing emphasis on the infrastructure sector nowadays and the requirements of the industry necessitated the creation of this programme. The programme not only imparts the

I found the students to be analytical and dedicated to the task assigned. They performed the tasks in accordance with and to the satisfaction of their reporting officers. They have outperformed each and every task assigned to them. I wish them all the best.

managerial skills in core subjects, like any other conventional MBA course, but also equips the students with acumen in infrastructure management by offering sectoral electives in water, energy, and urban infrastructure.

We at TERI University have risen to these challenges well in advance by offering an MBA plus programme with a specialization in infrastructure. We are dubbing it into an MBA plus programme because the programme not only imparts the managerial skills in core subjects, like any other conventional MBA course, but also equips them with acumen in infrastructure management by offering sector electives in transport, energy, and urban infrastructure. The course also provides a foundation for effective management of infrastructure services through comprehensive courses on the regulatory processes and competition policy in the sector. At the University, the students are conditioned with strong conceptual foundation along with the confidence to face the challenges of the infrastructure sector and stand out as the business leaders of tomorrow.

Why Hire Us?Infrastructure projects with their high implementation costs and their long gestation periods require professionals who can deliver with respect to quality, cost control, and performance, right from the early stages of project design to the final retirement of the infrastructure asset.

The MBA in Infrastructure programme aims to produce administrators equipped with the required knowledge and skill sets to meet the challenges that are unique to the infrastructure sector. The students, in addition to generic specializations in Marketing and Finance, undertake sector specific specialization, providing them with the unique perspective necessary to successfully implement management principles within the constraints that are specific to the sector of their specialization.

The coursework encompasses all aspects of the infrastructure sector right from the development stage to the execution stage, continuing on till the operations. Critical topics such as regulatory policy, sector economics, finance, and commercials as well as the socio-political aspects associated with large projects are addressed intensely. This equips students from TERI University with skill-sets required for succeeding in the complex world of infrastructure development and management.

ALUMINI SPEAK

TERI MBA was (is) by far the best decision of my life. During admissions, it was promised that this is an MBA+ Programme, an MBA with a difference, with an edge, and now I see why. The faculty, the pedagogy, the very ambience of the university helped me equip with subject matters not only confined to the boundaries of a conventional MBA.

Not only was the curriculum and par excellence but the methodology followed too, which included field trips, interaction with representatives from big corporate giants. My journey ended with a campus placement with a brilliant profile and package. I switched from my previous organization and now I’m working with Ernst & Young in their Risk Management Services Department. TERI MBA helped me all the way through. It will always be a journey to remember”.

Farhan Choudhary Associate, Ernst & Young

My incredible energy coaster ride as an aspiring MBA Infrastructure Graduate at TERI University provided me the holistic experience of energy sector based on deeper paradigms of learning that developed my acumen in the sector and transformed my passions and aspirations into reality through its well-structured energy curriculum with a great flavour of corporate interactions.

Soumya Prakash Nayak Research Associate

World Energy Council

Our curriculum is co-created and co-delivered with senior industry executives to ensure that it is truly relevant to industry’s needs. However, besides the theoretical learning, the institution has its own way of helping one grow as an individual over the course of the study, and as it is very rightly said, Transformation is more important than learning.

Shruti Sehgal Research Associate


The Institute has contributed in honing my skills and personality development required to stand out of the crowd in today’s competitive world. The diverse experiences here have helped me integrate & channelize my aspirations in the right direction.

For me, TERI University will always be a box full of treasured memories!
