“In a world of continual geopolitical, economic, and social changes, the power of education contributes to widening its support to the spectrum of society. Today is a profound opportunity as you take away enhanced skills such as independent and critical thinking, reflective capacity, self-initiative, and self-accountability while also enhancing your capability to operate in a non-prescriptive world. The leadership of Liverpool Business School and upGrad with their forethought and courage launched this educational partnership years ago and with this moment today, we congratulate yet another exceptional cohort brilliant batch of students who would continue to expand their learning and experiences, in as the workplace and society life as they engage with the world in experience is in a constant state of change and disruption.”
Today we celebrate the achievements of our first two cohorts, with 562 graduands having achieved their postgraduate in management and I hope that you all feel immensely proud. I wish to acknowledge that you are all exceptional in what you have achieved, and in your ambitions for what you dream to achieve. I hope that the learning and connections that you have developed over your period of study with us carry with you in the next stage of your journey, and I wish you all the very best for your future. Enjoy this day, and feel proud of what you have accomplished. Congratulations
“With these skills, always aspire to be in the top 1% wherever you work because that precisely would make you the most sought-after professional. The best way to do that is to always keep expanding your knowledge base. My personal advice would be to network more and more, across domains and on the way, find the right mentors!
Lastly, stay humble, stay grounded, and let your passion reflect in your work and it’ll take you a long long mile ahead!”
As business managers and future leaders, we are always problem-solving – focusing on risk management, identifying, and mitigating crisis much before it takes shape. We are focused on keeping our business healthy – ensuring that it is in good shape for years to come – keeping an eye on the present and future. It’s important to put into practice the concept of learning and unlearning to bring a transformational change within the ecosystem. That’s how you rise to the challenge and move ahead with a strategic approach overall.
This is my takeaway for all of you amazing folks! Huge congratulations to everyone. Remember to leave your mark on this world

upGrad Journey
Studying for two masters ( Masters in Data Science ) along with MBA was only successful because of the support and help i received from upgrad mentors. People say age is just a number which is good in social media status or speeches but I could understand that its just not a number and you need lots of energy and things you remember is much less as the age grows
upGrad Journey
I had a great experiences in LBS course
upGrad Journey
Upgrad help me to see the learning in a different way
upGrad Journey
Upgrad platform helped me complete my master along with my current job which helped me financially.
upGrad Journey
It was really very good.
upGrad Journey
Upgrad learning journey instilled dedication and time management skills in me. The commitment towards self paced learning was difficult to uphold but was made easier with the support from upgrad.
upGrad Journey
It was a great experience lot of learning came from the thesis work and good bonding with my supervisor whose guidance helped me in completing this prestigious degree. It helped me in boosting my confidence and made me a expert in my domain.
upGrad Journey
When I decided to pursue MBA, there were few barriers ahead of me. The first and foremost, I was in no position to quit my job due to personal reasons and the only option out was to study while at work. Unfortunately, most of the courses offering part time MBA mentioned the same in the certificate. I was particular that the course has to accredited by WES (World Education Services) so that it will be valid worldwide. Lastly, most of the courses offering a valid MBA programme was expensive and beyond what i can afford.
UPGRAD came as a huge blessing for a person like me who always wished to continue studying and for some reason that always remained as a distant dream. Affordable cost of the program and easy payment options attracted me initially to join the UPGRAD family. Later I came to know they have a student friendly program, which is mindful of student's office work and timings, which was a huge boon to me. The course offered was a highly structured one, with lectures from imminent professors of IMT Ghaziabad and LBS. It was a true eye opener providing the best of theoretical knowledge and practical hands-on experiences as well. I'm glad to share my research proposal was selected as one among the top 10 in my class. Despite the hectic work schedules and on-going pandemic I passed the course with merit, which definitely has an impressive place in my resume. Being a senior manager in a company, the knowledge gained has definitely helped me improve my managerial skills for which I'm thankful.
upGrad Journey
I has been great, faced many challenged as we are working professionals. Many feedbacks have been given as well for the same.
upGrad Journey
I learnt a lot about management skills
upGrad Journey
The journey has been a friction-free learning process. The course has enabled me to approach a problem statement with much more structured and holistic viewpoints.
upGrad Journey
Learned various aspects of running a successful business, like:
- Operations- Strategic leadership, business communication, Customer RelationshipManagement, etc I got CGPA 9.4 from IMT Ghaziabad and Distinction from Liverpool Business School
upGrad Journey
It was good, especially IMT program was brilliant got to learn so much stuff regarding Management. But in LBS phase it just wiped off in few months as i thought of going for some specialisation but was not the case only research part was there.
upGrad Journey
My upGrad journey has been phenomenal so far have done more than 12 projects and case studies. I faced several challenges during my research phase and writing my thesis, because I got stuck in work deadlines and commitments. But, the remarkable support team of upGrad really pushed me little further and I was really motivated by that and happy with the end results because I was able to complete my research on time.
upGrad Journey
Before doing I was facing challenges of proper communication, lacking in effective management skills and needs to improve my business knowledge. I have chosen this course to help me grow in my career. The course provided knowledge about different areas of business and in depth information of selected MBA domain. The course required lot of efforts. With guidance and support of teachers, the journey was interesting and successful. After doing the course, my confidence has grown and I am able to perform any task with a different approach.
upGrad Journey
It was a wonderful journey. The LBS Phase was totally different in a way that the process was self driven with timelines to follow.
upGrad Journey
I have mostly enjoyed, the content and use cases provided by upGrad. I had a limited understanding of the business and management techniques in the industry. I have learned and applied various soft skills and management techniques to be a more well-rounded personality in my day-to-day professional and personal life.
upGrad Journey
My biggest strength is to always walk a mile extra.
I never restrict myself from getting involved with other departments. I wanted to know more about management skills so that I can contribute much more to the company. There were a lot of questions that remained unanswered before joining my MBA from upgrad. I kept hunting and struggling to find out what was right.Â
Thereafter I got structured knowledge when I started with my MBA. The immersion trip to LBS is the best thing that had happened in the entire journey. Networking with people from different domains was the biggest gift that I could get. The live sessions and the simulations not only helped me but also my management as they could implement the same. Even the sessions conducted by LBS and the activities given were tremendously impactful. Â
I was among the top 5 students in one of the simulations that were given to us during our program.
I feel MBA has made me more confident and Upgrad is truly doing a wonderful job by giving us the opportunity and exposure which is helping us to grow in all directions. Â
upGrad Journey
It was very smooth and insightful study
upGrad Journey
Through upGrad's platform, I have learnt the basic yet most important skill of networking with people. There were people of different age groups, who joined for the program. Interacting with them, doing conversations related to the life goals and how they are doing has been always fun. Specially, because of WFH, the connection with people had lessened, but this program made life a bit easier as the friend circle got enlarged and there was so much to learn from everyone.
upGrad Journey
Doing a MBA from reputed university like Liverpool was best decision of my life so far, I have been recognized within my Global team members. I have been assigned with complex project within organization as transition to my profile. Apart from this I have also started receiving job interview calls from company's like Accenture, TATA, GEP, Capgemini.
It was great journey, this program is specially designed for working professional like us and the best thing is certificate provided by Liverpool university is same as campus student in-spite of Online platform
upGrad Journey
Having been on both sides of this program (i.e. being a learner and also being an operational executive with the same org) has definitely been a rewarding experience. Being a learner taught me the challenges that our learners face and how being a part of the operational team i can solve for them. On the other hand being associated with upGrad at this capacity and from this long prepared me to be a better learner.
Chasing deadlines taught me the importance of time management and also that its not that difficult to follow.
I take utmost pride in saying that i finished all of my assignments/simulations/graded quizzes within the expected deadlines. The experience of working on the varied case studies/assignments gave me a lot of insights in terms of actual business problems and how correct strategies and leadership can help solve them real time.
The Liverpool program helped me understand and see the big picture, as you are literally supposed to imagine your final thesis right from the time you select your topic and bit by bit that is the big picture that you are filling up with your work, until the last day when you have all the pieces of the puzzle, all you got to do now is rearrange them and there you have your full picture.
Having said that, the journey ofcourse was not as easy as these sentences may make it seem like, professional and personal challenges kept coming in the way but i was determined to keep my eyes on the ball and was thus able to successfully complete and submit my thesis.
All in all, a never forgetful experience, one that i am eternally thankful to the whole team of mentors at upGrad, the speakers of live sessions, and most importantly the entire faculty member team at the Liverpool Business School for making this experience seamless and breaking down each and every step in the most simplest way possible and motivating all of us throughout!
Thanks upGrad & Liverpool!
upGrad Journey
It was in April'20, strict lockdown was in place & lots of uncertainty was around. To keep all this negativity away, tried to find some positive light I decided to join study program again and utilized the opportunity to sharpen my knowledge & skill set
After contemplating many options from April'20 to September'20, I finally choose to go with upGrad just because 2 reasons
1) Robust curriculum with vast subject related study materials comes with lots of valuable add-ons which is essential for a 21st century business leader's holistic development
2) The way Phalgun Kompalli & Mayank Kumar talked in one of the introductory webinar I have attainted. There were lots of convictions and vision for the participants.
Since I joined upGrad it is a rollacosta ride with lots of assignment, study, regular exam but I have no complain because as the time gone by I can observe change in my approach, I am more confident now. It's tough to maintain work & study both but when you have dedication you can do that.
After successfully completing the MBA from LJMU I became more confident that as business leader I will be successful and deliver in any challenging situation thrown at me. May be it is the reason as soon am Joining as AVP in one of the most leading Private sector Bank which is like dream come true from me.
Special thanks to Balneet Kaur Kalsi (my student mentor for IMTG) for keeing continuous pressure on me which help me to complete my study on time and on time support wherever required
Thanks to Ronnie Screwvala Phalgun Kompalli Mayank Kumar team upGrad for making such wonderful platform.
upGrad Journey
Before my experience at UpGrad, I was focussed on only the creative aspect of the business. In order to grow, I wanted to get a bird's eye view of my business and learn that in a holistic manner. While doing this MBA while working full time was hard at times, but I was able to use my learnings from the course in my work as well.
Not only did I creatively lead my ongoing brands, I also converted several business wins for the organisation with national and international accounts worth over USD 600000 in revenue. I was also responsible for growing digital mandate for many brands that included several tech first campaigns for integrated brands.
upGrad Journey
It was very fruitful experience, never thought of completing MBA with help of upGrad in such a smooth way.
I always thought that this would take good amount of my time and efforts to get into an MBA course and then complete it. However, with help of upGrad it became very easy.
upGrad Journey
Learning with upGrad is a great experience. All the modules present in my PG diploma and MBA program are good and helpful. I can apply the learnings in my day to day work life activities. It gave me exposure to various aspects of business such as Marketing and Finance.

It was amazing journey, started during covid and at the end we have successfully completed. It’s like an achievement and very good decision to utilise your time during covid work from home situation. Upgrad and LJMU MBA was really great step forward to learn business framework and implement the same in your current job and future plans.

It was enriching learning experience with upGrad. It was simple and effective platform for learning from faculties and peers. Platform facilitated fruitful interactions despite Covid imposed challenges.
Excellent Faculty from IMT and LJMU making learning so simple and effective for all the working professionals.
Business Case Simulations during IMT and Research work during LJMU Phase provided hands-on experience and learnings of the market places.
upGrad Journey
I found the platform very user friendly & one where I could learn as per my schedule. The course allowed to develop new skills and learn new concepts. However, I would've expected more interaction with LBS faculty during the last part of the course. With due respect to the Indian project mentors, I would have liked to have mentors from LBS for our projects since it was a LBS MBA.
upGrad Journey
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.â€
Close to 2 year of hard work, cancelling on weekend plans, completing modules and building projects has born fruit now.
Although, this is just a milestone in a never-ending journey of learning. I still feel proud of this achievement.
Thanking #upGrad & #LJMU in true sense for making the process of learning so adaptive, fun and competitive & unveiling the true potential of management studies.
Our mentors were there throughout to keep us sane while we juggled between the multi hats we were wearing and inspired us to keep going. I sincerely thank all my mentors, professors, industry experts, as well as my co-students and alumni friends for being a part of this who have guided me throughout the journey & empowered me to reach a stage where I can proudly hold up this achievement.

My greatest professional achievement was successfuly completing my Masters degree from liverpool john moores uiversity . learned from university professors to gain depth knowlege and build cofidence in career life . This taught me to prioritize my time, build great habits and stay focused on my goals. I’m proud of this accomplishment and I feel that what I learned is going to give me a big advantage in my career now.
upGrad Journey
The learning experience during IMT was really good. Lot of knowledge gain during this tenure. As such, there was no major impact on my professional as I used to spend at least one hour on daily basis which reduced my backlogs.
The content of the IMT course helped me in my professional career too as indeed it has got lot of informative stuff in it.
upGrad Journey
Great achievement is getting a foreign institutional degree. But the challenges are like how to utilise the degree and the zone where I want to put myself that is more challenging. Yes, upGrad addressed the most of the challenges but I must in the last where only thesis is not going to help students to grow or enhance the full potential on the desired segment.
upGrad Journey
I thank upGrad's entire team for an absolutely phenomenal and fantastic journey, who had put in lot of efforts to ensure an exceptional learner experience. Superb leadership team, it clearly shows their caliber. Everything was well planned and executed so that learners do not have to worry about anything, right from recorded videos, excellent support from student buddy and the best part was regular email communication from upGrad team which kept me informed about the upcoming modules and assignments deadlines etc. Everything was just perfect. The thesis supervisor Dr. Premasish Roy Sir had been very supportive during my thesis submission. He is a very knowledgeable person, I learned a lot from him and I have great respect for him.

upGrad learning was awesome. I utilised my precious time in learning new skills during COVID pandemic.

It was exciting, exploratory, very useful learnings
upGrad Journey
I was exciting to be learning with upGrad while working. Had challenges to take both along but the experience was enriching. It was more about formalizing the business concepts that I experienced in my professional career
upGrad Journey
The programme required us to work on multiple theme based projects which were industry relevant. Each project was a challenge and working on them has been a great learning experience for me.
upGrad Journey
The IMT journey was a great learning experience with relevant case studies, projects and few great industry speakers. But the most wonderful part was my batchmate's and the way they have helped me during personally difficult times to continue with the programme. I would also like to express my deep gratitude for my thesis supervisor Dr Preeti Viswanathan for her able guidance.
upGrad Journey
It was really good, especially my mentors. However, I am not yet seeing any growth in my career.
upGrad Journey
I think that upGrad has completely changed the definition of traditional education. It took us through a different mode. Lectures from university professors, webinar by industry experts has helped to learn a lot. Subject summary, every week tests and assignments kept us engaged with the study all the time. It was not possible to learn and finish the degree within stipulated time period until or unless this new method of teaching is applied. A big thanks to upGrad!!
upGrad Journey
I am really proud of my thesis on Customer Success
upGrad Journey
Overall journey with MBA was incredible. The pandemic provided an opportunity to back to school, and upGrad made it possible to grab this opportunity and made my dream of getting a business degree reality. MBA has emphasized my understanding of business and opened up new areas of learning and idea. Now I am armed with tools, methodologies, and processes which allow me to address a particular problem in several ways. MBA allowed me to look inward at my own organization and find ways to improve efficiency and streamline specific processes. MBA has made me a better leader and allowed me to take up new challenges. In the grand scheme of things, MBA has taught me how important it is to network, and MBA has enabled network with new friend's from various walks of life with whom we keep in touch with help each other.
upGrad Journey
Choosing upGrad to pursue MBA was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Being a full-time employer it was important for me to get great quality online education and Upgrade checked all the boxes. Not only the course was well designed, but the support from the mentors, weekly sessions, case studies from Harvard and simulators also made it a great learning experience. The intent to join the program was to switch jobs and get a higher salary package. Although haven’t gotten the breakthrough yet hopefully I will be able to leverage my learnings and degree to bag a high-paying job.

I've enrolled for the PG Program in management at IMT and then completed MBA from LBS. The journey is filled with its ups and downs. Managing professional life and student life in parallel was a difficult task. However flexible lectures and study hours from upgrad has helped me complete both the courses efficiently which has also helped me excel at the workplace.
upGrad Journey
Learning with upGrad is a great experience. All the modules in PG Diploma and MBA program are good and helpful. I Have been able to use some of these learnings in my day to day work activities and also had a exposure to different learning aspects in business modules such as Marketing, HR and Finance.

The journey has been very smooth and the mentors were extremely helpful.
upGrad Journey
I have been able to shape my career because of upGrad. There are dozens of strategies and learning methods which I learned at upGrad that I can discuss for hours about how it helped me understand and implement them. If I write about my experience with upGrad, I would be doing injustice to it because best things cannot be described in few words. I request upGrad to give me a chance to interact with new students and guide them as to how upGrad will help them achieve milestones.
Thank you upGrad!
upGrad Journey
I would say, education and learning always help in growing further. After doing my MBA, I got a 100% hike and got 4 offer letters from top companies within 6 months. Today I feel very proud that I took the right decision of doing MBA from upGrad. Yes, doing 2 things together is a daunting task but later you get the results also. I was working with a big basket when I enrolled for an MBA, my schedule was very tight and for 2 years was very stressful.
upGrad Journey
It was really busy and enjoyable for 1st year.
upGrad Journey
MBA from upGrad made me achieve my task. Before the course I was only aware about my domain, but now i can definitely tell about how the whole pharma industry works and the co-relations between finance, marketing and operations. it gave me the global perspective about the company evaluation and of course upgraded my curriculum level (degree) for further abilities to take higher positions.
upGrad Journey
Overall it was good, there are challenges while completing the course. The course had impact on overall my understanding towards business across all domains
upGrad Journey
The course was structured very well and that helped me learn and complete the programme. The programme plan helped me complete it smoothly, and also helped me understand that small wins help u achieve big ones. All my peers were extremely helpful and supportive and together made it happen. Even though it was a distance programme the projects and assignments were really effective and interactive. Loved all the assignments and every bit of the programme.
upGrad Journey
It gives me immense pleasure to complete my dream to pursue MBA in association with upGrad. As a woman, you will inevitably run into difficult situations, especially when it comes to your profession and you may need to relocate or take care of your kids, etc. A lady who has always aspired to see herself in a decent position finds that taking a career sabbatical is challenging. I am one of those people who took a career hiatus for around five years. As a mother of two young girls, I decided to pursue an MBA online through IMT Ghaziabad and the University of Liverpool in the UK because during the lockdown I wanted to devote time in learning new things again and creating new chances for myself. I now feel more confident and have learnt a lot of principles that I may apply in the future thanks to this programme. I was hired by a reputable company a year ago, and I am confident that I will use my degree for future internal postings.
upGrad Journey
upGrad help me understand the Strategy and Marketing side of the business while previously my vision was restricted towards Finance and Operations
upGrad Journey
upGrad helped me in switching my role and career transition
upGrad Journey
I am a big believer in the power of education as a vehicle for personal growth. I was always interested in learning new thing's, but never had the opportunity to pursue my interests. My first year at upGrad felt like a great opportunity to explore this passion.
I learned a lot during my time at upGrad, and I think the most important lesson I learned was that there are so many ways to approach your educational goals—and it's all okay!
I also found that the programme was incredibly supportive of me as an individual. They made sure that each student's needs were being met, and that we had access to resources and support groups tailored specifically for our needs.

It was good and lot of learning with other students.
upGrad Journey
It was good experience to apply skills learnt during course time
upGrad Journey
I totally loved the content and the structure of the program
upGrad Journey
It has been great, added to my knowledge and overall personality

The learning journey has been an exciting one. I needed much more discipline to go along with daily office work. I was happy about the fact that instead of being at client site and instead of having a 14hr work schedule everyday, still didn't accrue any study backlog.
upGrad Journey
As covid loomed over the world, upGrad was a brilliant opportunity for me to continue my education while working

It was amazing, a life changing experience. Now I am far more confident in my job and career. Even received a new job offer probably due to my MBA degree.

In my current role as the Vice President in the Global Markets Division at Goldman Sachs, I work on a mix of technology, business and finance. My MBA from Liverpool Business School through upGrad has helped me in seeking this management position in an amazing organization.

I must say the IMT part of the upGrad journey was fascinating, and I genuinely learned a lot of new things. I felt great interacting with IMT professors during the live sessions, and last but not least, the IMT course structure was very well organised, and I completed it with a CGPA of 9.5 out of 10 Scale.
upGrad Journey
upGrad provided a good learning experience during initial first year. I got to learn lot of things during IMT course that is helping me right now, for e.g marketing and business economics.
upGrad Journey
It was an amazing learning experience and I would love to do it again for a different course. I love this whole idea of including this immersion program for the working professionals.
upGrad Journey
upGrad provided a platform from where I could seamlessly integrate my studies with my professional work. The professors and study materials were good. I achieved a good score in my exam and that result helped me to get admission in a university at USA for further studies.
upGrad Journey
I could find the balance, momentum with life/work. Especially IMT PGP was really enjoyable and interesting stuff. Before joining this program, I discontinued IIM Kozhikode executive MBA after the first quarter. There we need to attend physically 3 days in a week and 6 hrs per day at times centre. Hence, upGrad made a memorable journey of accomplishing UK MBA degree.
upGrad Journey
It was a nice experience with initial glitches as we were the first batch, so few innovations were made initially. However, it was a nice experience overall.
upGrad Journey
It helps a lot to understand the business aspect of my field
upGrad Journey
This Master’s Degree made me more confident, gave me a managerial perspective, and helped me to perform efficiently both personally and professionally.
This course has been thoughtfully designed and is an absolute gem of knowledge.
I am also thankful to the faculty members at Liverpool Business School and Industry Experts for this program and for imparting immense knowledge relevant to present industry standards.
Connecting with such a fabulous cohort coming from such diverse backgrounds, exchange of ideas, and understanding different perspectives was an added advantage.
I express my gratitude to upGrad for providing such an excellent learning platform. I will certainly cherish all the learning moments with upGrad.
All well that ends well, my proudest moment was when I scored a Distinction.
Onwards & Upwards!!!

Successfully completed the MBA from Liverpool John Moores University, U.K., in collaboration with upGrad and received the degree certificate. An enriching experience with a great faculty and enthusiastic Cohort. Initially, it looked as an uphill task to cope up with the rigors of research based assignments with submission deadlines. However, in the end, it all seems worth spending every second and burning midnight oil. We were privileged to have been taught by some of the best faculty members and professors throughout our learning journey. The best part of the program was the "Immersion Program" which was well coordinated & organised by upGrad & LJMU. I personally gained by making many good friends for the lifetime and learned a lot from my peers while interacting with them during the Immersion Program.
upGrad Journey
It was a great learning experience!! It heelped me to improvise my working career!! upGrad is a great learning platform
upGrad Journey
I had joined MBA course with upgrad last year during the most toughest implementation that I was part of at my previous organisation. Additionally, we were in a global lockdown phase which made things even more difficult. Everyone I spoke to, before joining the course, suggested I should have started earlier, rather than at that point of time. However, I pushed myself to join this course with the sole aim of upskilling myself. It meant that I ended up spending 15-16 hours daily for the next 12 months managing demanding office work, assignments, submissions and exams. However, at the end of achieving the first milestone of this journey, all the hard work that I had put in, made the difference, as I got multiple job offers leading to a salary hike of over 100%. The initiatives at upgrad along with the course helped along the way and the tremendous support from student mentors, batchmates and professors kept motivating throughout the year. Thanks a lot to upgrad for creating this amazing platform and a wonderful course for working professionals.
upGrad Journey
It was a gusty decision to enroll for MBA, I was a little hesitant at the time of enrollment due the time commitments towards job. But ultimately the course was bespoke for the working professionals with a fusion of online, live & recorded learning mode. Assignments were well designed to substantiate the latest industry trends, especially the HBR simulations.
Industry dissertation project was flexible enough that one could handpick any topic of his/her areas of interest, subsequently based on ones choice a competent SME was assigned as Guide. Lastly the Immersion programs at campus was very insightful and well organized by Upgrad team. Kudos for introducing this affordable G-MBA program which I will always cherish and gratify for the lifetime.
upGrad Journey
Upgrad is a great platform for people like me who are very much concerned about their academic studies which they could not pursue due to various reasons. I am very much thankful to the Upgrad team for making my dream come true which is having an MBA degree from a recognized university like Liverpool.
upGrad Journey
Upgrad has helped me gain knowledge and continue my further studies while being able to work and take care of my family. MBA was one of my goals in life but I was unable to enroll into any of the colleges because they required full-time enrollment and physical presence, Upgrad allowed me to complete my MBA without giving up on my work. The complete process and experience has been very smooth with 24/7 support for any of my queries and instant resolutions.

upGrad Journey
Iam happy I fought all odds. At 36yrs Iam able to finish a dream that I had when I was 21yrs back in 2007 to get an MBA from UK. Being married, having a son who was just 5yrs when I started the course also during COVID he was away in Chennai and could not see him for close to 7months due to travel restrictions.
Funding the course again was a challenge. All the loans I had closed were showing in my CIBIL and had to take the loan at a very high rate and even my husband did not know the exact loan amount. Otherwise he would not let me study thinking the amount is too high for the family to manage.
I took my book in which I used to write while studying and seeing the date in July 2020 It reminded how i ever managed to study. Iam seriously amazed.

I'm very glad that I pursued my MBA with LJMU collaborated with upGrad. In a tough economic environment, businesses need strong leaders that can adapt.
My time spent learning and growing at upGrad and LJMU helping me adapt to management roles.
I enrolled in the program to gain a better understanding of management theory and strategic planning to complement my technical supply chain
and accounting experience. I hope to use my degree to add value to the work I do with clients and my colleagues, hopefully bringing more to the table from
a strategic perspective.
The online format of LJMU’s MBA program was a great balance for me. Even with the heavy workload that comes with a career in IT.
Online classes allowed me to engage in the course material without compromising my performance at the office.
I highly recommend this program to any working professional looking to make that next step in their career.
Overall, my experience with the LJMU's MBA program was extremely positive, and I would highly recommend the program for many reasons.
The upGrad faculty did a great job with laying out the curriculum and expectations to keep students on track with the MBA program requirements.
After completing the MBA program at LJMU, I feel that I am in a stronger position to continue to advance my career.
I have improved my leadership, research, writing, analytical, and time management skills.

Passed MBA with Merit from Liverpool Business School. Upgrad's program and its tie up with IMT Ghaziabad and LBS is good.

My overall experience was quite fantastic with UpGrad. I come from a technical background and didn’t even know the abcd of business. I was not sure how I would cope up with this, but the learning experience was quite good for me. I learnt a lot about business and management and other domains as my major was strategy & leadership.
upGrad Journey
It was great. Being from technical field and that also just having an experience of 6 months at that point of time, it was very risky for me to choose MBA program. But now when I look back I think that was one of the best decisions that I took. I am highly thankful to all the mentors and teachers for their valuable knowledge and time and specially to Upgrad team for maintaining the study materials specially so well maintained throughout the 2 years.
The journey is not over and never over with Upgrad.

When i stumbled upon Upgrad's website, i was fascinated to see the course design and curriculum. Once I enrolled for the course, I was super excited to be part of such diversed learning group. All of the projects and assignements in the first year of the course were so intersting and fun to do. Each project was so much different from the other. Doing simulation runs project from Harvard Buisness School was one of the highlight of the course. I got to learn so much from all these projects. My understanding and practical knowledge has definitely improved so much.
In the second year, taking live classes from LBS professors widened my horizons. Preparing thesis with my mentor one on one, her guidance and recommendations helped me in preparing my thesis.
With all the learnings I am now able to understand the practical aspect of various KPIs at my job and also able to assist in designing the same.

Upskilling was one of the reasons I decided to join upGrad LBS MBA programme. I was working as an individual contributor in sales but post my MBA I was confident enough to go for a management profile.

The journey with upgrad has been very smooth and swift, in the span of 2 years, it helped me complete my Pgpm and MBA degree. These educational achievements have been a feather in my cap.

I still remember the day when I got laid off during lockdown and I was extremely demotivated. My friend asked me to upskill myself and that's how I reached Upgrad's counsellor and got into this amazing learning journey of global MBA with LBS. Throughout the course I have felt the guiding nature of the faculties extremely helpful. No matter what the doubt is the student support is always there. The project simulations were amazing and I loved working on them. This has been the best learning experience ever for me. Getting the degree I got nostalgic. This course has given a great shift to my career. Thank you Upgrad for this beautiful learning opportunity ðŸ‘😃
upGrad Journey
I was skeptical about doing an online program because it was not a well known course of action at-least in the academic field. Started a bit scared but i didn't want to loose my current Job and the pandemic made it an only good option to opt for. However, I don't regret it now as I am more than satisfied with the outcome. I was able to network with a lot of peers and all at the comfort of my room. I was able to complete task which i really thought I would never be able to complete to and gaining some good insights helped me compare myself to peers in the similar area of interest and it really helped me boost my self confidence a lot. There are some areas of improvement i would suggest, however I would recommend upGrad to any new user whose primary goal is gaining knowledge and taking the first step in walking out of their comfort Zone.
upGrad Journey
Decent program. Good for busy working professionals

I can say that the learnings were very helpful in putting a perspective to the work I was doing. I could step myself in a senior posting and understand how the decision making was taking place.

The opportunity to join this program at the right phase in my career was one of the best decisions I've made so far. And this was majorly possible with the immediate help and counseling from the onboarding buddy. Getting an MBA from a dignified Business School was always a dream, and glad to announce that it was a dream come true moment when i successfully completed the program with distinction and could add value in my career. The deadlines, syllabus, module delivery and assessments were sealed through out the learning phase and it moreover made sure I could focus equally in my career and education too.

Learning has been great. It has given me good confidence and knowledge.
upGrad Journey
It has been a roller coaster of a ride. I have learnt a lot and most effectively i didnot think i would enjoy this ride so much. Writing and completing the thesis should be one of my major achievements as that was something I never imagined i could do. With UpGrad i was able to learn and know a lot of modern world problems and have also got the knack to know more and resolve issues with detailed understanding. I thank UpGrad for giving me this opportunity to be a part of this journey.

The journey with upGrad has been incredible for me. During the duration of this MBA course I have learnt and lot of management concepts and have made many friends. The first year with IMT Ghaziabad was too good for me. The course made me learn many industry related concepts and through case studies and assignments those concepts were made pretty clear to us. As, the second year of the course was research oriented it made me learn how to carry out a research from scratch, regarding data gathering and also improved my presentation skills. Having acquired these skillsets I'm now looking forward for a domain switch in my career and I'm really looking forward in using these skillsets and contributing better in my further job roles.

I have learned a lot from my time with Upgrad. They have excellent content and great teachers/ mentors. I was thrilled to be part of their MBA program without needing to quit my job. The learnings I have had in my MBA program helps me interact with the business stakeholders better.
upGrad Journey
The journey started at an uncertain time where the world was hit with the Covid-19. The will to learn was the driving force in making me enroll for the course. The dual certification from IMT Ghaziabad and the degree from the Liverpool Business School was indeed an enriching experience. At times, I was pushed to the limits because I am a very busy professional but the support from the UpGrad Execs as well as the professors and mentors were exemplary.
The platform itself was a very smooth to use and the student support team ensured that the issues faced were quickly resolved.
I wanted to have an all round understanding of the management world and the course completely lived up to the expectation. The research based study at LBS was also very useful but at times, it did feel a bit distant and not engaging when compared to IMT.
upGrad Journey
The program helped me develop my thought process of business and understanding various conditions and use the frameworks to solve.
upGrad Journey
In my opinion, I would say that I made a right choice to choose this MBA program as this helped me in securing a job outside India. The course material helped me to understand the nuances of strategy while planning and several tools that could be of help in forecasting revenues, capacity etc. The thesis helped me to understand how I can use qualitative analysis and help banking systems to go cloud native. The structured approach of the program was great and helped me over the course of two years.
upGrad Journey
Discussions with professors, Industry professionals, peers from different domains and experiences were very insightful. Harvard Simulations were very interesting.
Doing Research on ground level was very challenging but I gained a lot in the process.
