India’s NEWEST B-school, BEATING IIMs & ISB, and Living Up to FAMILY LEGACY | Pratham Mittal | TBWS

Wasn't expecting Shantanu to promote this BS honestly. Complete IIPM vibes.

The amount of BS Pratham spews is unparalleled.

[@abhinav_daharwal]

Hi Shantanu, as your VNIT Jr I am following you since a decade now, truly inspiring how you have built a successful brand from the scratch and now creating massive value for all budding entrepreneurs through this podcasts. I dearly loved your conversation with Suraj and others and although I never comment on anyone opinion, this episode put me slightly off. Pratham is great CEO and I truly admire his ideas and intent however as a responsible influencer, one should NOT malign the other institutes without a factcheck. Listening to this episodes gave me an impression that professors in IIMs are pure theorists, have not updated themselves to the contemporary landscapes and they provide no interaction with industries. This is SO NOT TRUE. Most of the professors sits on the board of biggest companies in India, they mentor, coach the best of the minds, they do independent research and many of the case studies (some of which also becomes bestsellers books and gets published in HBR etc), more than 100 CEOs and celebrities ranging from Bollywood, sports, NGOs, parliamentarians walking into our campuses sharing their ideas every weekend. And as far as investment and incubation is concerned there is NSRCEL etc. situated right in IIM campuses and I know many startups incubated and funded by faculties and alumni as we speak. So I feel its okay to advertise your venture, but as a responsible influencers, without unnecessarily demeaning value adding institutes in the process. Looking forward to more of your videos...

Should have also mentioned his dad Ashok Mittal, Founder of LPU. Master's Union fees for UG is 29Lakhs, and maximum package a person can get won't be more than 29 LPA and their average for MBA is 33 LPA. Also, just one reason why private colleges to ads/ paid promotions unlike government college is very basic in nature.

Wow this should have been his introductory line. Wtf man!

[@Sunsine5098]

"Dare to think beyond IIM " & "Learning by doing" doesn't mean the tag lines sounds similar. New Arindam Choudhary & IIPM -2😂😂 Drop shipping, packaging/premiumisation street sale products, 😂😂😂 make them big business person. ha ha ha ha. ❤❤❤ Dr Vivek Bindra, from where he got that doctor degree? 10 days MBA.These are all scammers. Stupid people will spend 40 Lakh, 2 years time to learn drop shipping and without earning a formal degree at the end of course. How will he give MBA? Even IIMs were not allowed,so they were given a PGP certificate prior to the IIM act in 2017. They are talking MBA to dupe students.

Hey please share the bad experience with masters union. It might help prospective applicants to decide whether to apply or not

[@saana05]

Stop being a troll

[@bestofbollywoodmusic4100]

I completely agree with this comment. I spoke with their alumni since I was applying to MBA but received negative feedback from most. The fancy things they show on their social media and website are just marketing. For example the CXO mentorship thing, many alumni's told me that they hardly do one meeting and you get nothing out of it. The amount of fees charged for their program is not justifiable at all. Better go to genuine schools like IIMs, ISB or even SP jain and FMS.

[@chandan568]

I disagree to Parthan’s comment on Indians going abroad for better education. Half of them go coz they want to follow a trend

[@sanketmore6684]

Can someone help me why Master's Union is a bad institution? A genuine question. Any links to any other video would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

[@kumrahplanet]

You won't find any video with a bad review that is genuine. You will only find unsolicited and opinionated hate comments that have no basis. Hardly 5% of the applicants get into it and the rest 95% will start spreading envious comments.

[@ritjai5482]

Okay education is big investment. MU fate will be decided in next 25 to 30 years. I would give you an apt advise ..go to established and reputed institute who have stand the storms since years. MU is a child in front of them who is rn seeking attention through marketing. If they are so genuine they would have choose extensive marketing. Excessive marketing is trap. And he is taking 50 lac fees ...and you ll just get a certificate which is not govt approved. Will you give 50 lac to someone who is just giving a plain certificate.

[@ayushnaik6453]

[@niharickakaul741]

Just checked the QS ratings for best B schools globally and 4 Indian institutes are part of the top 100. Those being IIM A B C and ISB

[@fundee_tech]

Let me put things into some perspective. I am currently a student at MU- PGP Course and I absolutely love it. Do we have our own share of problems, well yes we do. But do we hate our institution? Hell no, we love it to the absolute core. Name me 1 institute that gives this pragmatic education with this hands on learning. Additionally, I can vouch for these people supporting what they preach. New age curriculum (we are learning OCEN, ONDC to name a few things from the Indian Tech stack) Interacting with C-Suite exes and build the repo. Understanding the Startup ecosystem by building it with the best around. It just feels sad when these so called opinionated people express their view’s without experiencing the magic that we are building.
