SP Jain School of Global Management’s Centre for Research in Global Business Learning organised its inaugural Business Case Study Competition in collaboration with Monash University, one of the top universities in Australia.

SP Jain organised a successful Executive MBA (EMBA) Networking Retro Night in Dubai on September 20, 2022. The alumni and current students from the EMBA online and on-campus batches were part of the event. It was an evening of fun, food, and drinks where they got an opportunity to network and meet their peers and faculty face-to-face.

The event was hosted by Dr Monica Gallant (Asst Dean – Dubai On-campus and Middle East Online) and Dr Nada Sayarh (Asst Dean - Global EMBA). They led the ice-breaking game – PINGO, where the students interacted with each other to fill up each box with a different person’s name, who fits the best as per the description.

This was followed by a warm welcome from Ms Lakshmi Raman (VP – Administration) and Dr Gary Stockport (Dean of the Executive MBA, SP Jain), as they addressed the students, alumni, faculty, and staff and shared the EMBA on-campus and ELO growth journey.

Speaking about networking, Dr Gary Stockport explained, “It is defined as the exchange of information among people with a common goal of a special interest, usually in an informal social setting.” He thanked the visionary leadership of Mr Nitish Jain (President, SP Jain) for making a strategic investment in the ELO technology way before COVID-19 had taken over the world. He further encouraged the attendees to spread the value of the program and share more of their success stories.

Mr Satyen Babla (EMBA Alumni President - UAE Chapter) also shared his experience and journey while at SP Jain. He emphasised how important networking is to grow yourself and your career. The event was further graced by Dr Arindam Banerjee, Dr Ruanda Oberholzer, Professor Sandeep Zutshi, and EMBA Program Office team members.

Ms Pallavi Mudaliar (EMBA Online, Batch 5) and Mr Abhishek Shetty (EMBA On-campus, Batch 49) won the best dressed at the Retro-themed party. On the other hand, Mr Bala Subramaniam (EMBA On-campus, Batch 48) won the Best Networker of the night award.
