How does TAPMI encourage students to start entrepreneurship and be innovative compared to other top B-schools?

Corporate engagement programs are designed to facilitate knowledge sharing, provoke creative thinking, and challenge students' ability to solve problems. The institute recognizes the importance of industry-academia collaboration for regular teaching as well. TAPMI promotes industry experts to design and deliver courses in emerging business trends. In a special partnership, an expert from Deloitte delivered sessions on IT risk management as a part of the Enterprise Risk Management elective, and KPMG designed and delivered a program on Data Analytics. Business leaders from Virtusa delivered an entire two-credit course, “Fintech and the Role of Emerging Technologies in Finance.” The Fifth Digital delivered a Fintech Course to TAPMI students in a workshop mode.

Industry immersion workshops addressing contemporary business trends such as digital adaptation, cybersecurity, social media marketing, and blockchain technology, which are not captured in textbooks, are organized by TAPMI. TAPMI invites industry experts to conduct immersion workshops (4 to 8 hours) to address such gaps. The objective of a program advisory board is to provide input to the academic council and review the curriculum based on industry trends. The advisory board consists of business leaders from various sectors and TAPMI alumni. TAPMI actively engages with the alumni base to seek feedback on curriculum and industry linkages. This engagement happens at multiple levels such as participation in the advisory board, co-delivery of electives, and delivery of workshops and guest lectures.
