Bengaluru, Sep22: KEDGE, one of Europe’s most respected business schools, has announced the launch of the KEDGE MBA in India. Ranked #24 globally by the Financial Times, the programme gives experienced professionals access to an international MBA without requiring them to relocate or step away from their careers.
The 18 month program will be organised in association with keeplearning, with visiting faculty from France, in addition to high caliber Indian faculty handpicked by KEDGE. Upon successful completion, participants will receive the Master of Business Administration credentials directly from the B-school with campuses across Paris, Marsillie and Bordeaux. KEDGE joins a group of only 7 Business Schools in India that boast a Triple Crown accreditation: AACSB, EDQUIS & AMBA, making this a significant milestone for management education in the country.
The Indian launch reflects a growing need among working professionals for education that combines international academic standards with the realities of building a career in India in an AI age. “Leaving a job behind in this age of digital transformation to complete management education is not a trade-off worth considering anymore, unless you have a super-specialized need. You need judgement to lead through global uncertainty and changing expectations of business. KEDGE has always created programs informed directly by the realities leaders face and capabilities organisations need next.”, stated Herve, Program Director of KEDGE MBA, world-wide.
The MBA from KEDGE comprises 500 hours of learning delivered through a blended structure, combining face-to-face delivery, asynchronous learning with a 14 day in-person immersion, designed linearly to create a campus-quality delivery mechanism. “As the degree credentials, curriculum and our rigor remain unchanged, it became important for us to create a delivery format built around working lives. This is not a version of our MBA, this is the MBA from KEDGE, which will award you a full-alumni status and give you access to our 90,000+ strong community of graduates, world-wide”, Herve added.
Participants will study business strategy, finance, marketing, operations, leadership, innovation, international management and sustainable enterprise. The curriculum also includes two India-focused modules covering Generative AI for business operations and responsible AI governance.
Learning is designed to move beyond classroom frameworks. Participants will engage in simulations, practical masterclasses, leadership workshops, faculty and peer feedback and targeted coaching linked to their professional goals. The program culminates in a capstone project built around a live business challenge. Participants must conduct structured research, develop an applied business response and successfully defend their work before a faculty jury.
The inaugural cohort will be limited to enable deeper faculty engagement, peer learning and individual development. The selection process includes an academic assessment, a mini-case presentation and an interview.
Applications are now open for the October 2026 intake.
