In reply to Tapan Rayaguru. I agree with you on the money part. One would rather spend the 20 odd lakh in growing the business than on a one year break from work for an MBA. The interaction with industry leaders, although, is there in full time as well. My cousin is an ISB graduate and they had regular interactions with the CEO/CXOs during the year.

In reply to ramesh.

It is hard to give advice with only the limited information you have provided.

We at Sunstone try to make the education practical by following the Problem Based Learning approach. We also don’t have professors, only industry leaders who ‘coach’ rather than ‘teach’.

I would encourage you to explore more by attending one of our information session webinars.

The way I look at Sunstone is it is currently following a very bold and innovative/disruptive approach to management education. In a way, this is the need of the hour. Programmes at reputed schools meant for experienced professional haven’ t still tackled basic issues such as the need to tailor curriculum for executives of diverse backgrounds/stages-of-career. This, despite the fact, that these 1-yr-MBA’s have been around for quiet a while now – the oldest one as old as 1997!

1 yr. MBA’s at schools abroad are somewhat much mature on these terms (esp. in Europe).

Sunstone is trying out, what should ideally have been done a long time ago (there must have been difficulties inherent, one cannot deny)! But yes, somebody finally comes out with the idea and the execution, and that’s nice!
