Ahmedabad, April, 2011:
Future Innoversity, the academic initiative of Future Learning, a part of
the Future Group, in association with IGNOU, has commenced the admission process
for its newly introduced program, MBA in Supply Chain Management. Admissions
have also commenced for the next batch of its flagship, two-year MBA Retail and
three-year BBA Retail Services programs. These programmes will be held at the four
Future Innoversity campuses located in Delhi, Ahmadabad, Kolkata and Bangalore.

All three courses offer guaranteed job placement with Future Group. Every single
successful MBA Retail and BBA Retail Services student will be directly absorbed by
the group’s leading retail formats like Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar, HomeTown, Central,
Pantaloons and eZone, at managerial and supervisory positions. The MBA Supply
Chain Management students will be recruited by Future Supply Chain. Future Group
currently operates 16 million sq ft of retail space in 85 cities and 65 rural destinations.
India’s organized retail industry is undergoing a rapid transformation and poised to
become the largest employer. It’s estimated that organized retail alone will require 18
million skilled manpower by 2022. (Ref: National Skill Development Corporation 2010
report).
Foreseeing the need to fill this gap in organized retail and other industry sectors, Future
Innoversity will focus on sector-specific courses only. Recognizing that proficiency in
supply chain management will be widely required in the areas of service, manufacturing
and retail oriented sectors, Future Innoversity has launched its two year MBA in Supply
Chain Management. Students are also invited to apply for the next batch of its well-
received two-year MBA Retail and three-year BBA Retail Services launched last year.
While MBA in Supply Chain Management will be offered at its campuses located in
Bengaluru and Ahmedabad only, MBA Retail and BBA Retail Services will be offered at
all four locations.
Mr. Muralidhar Rao, CEO, Future Learning said, “Our programs in MBA and BBA
Retail have been well received and we are offering MBA in Supply Chain Management
from this year. It is our endeavour to ensure that the students learn from the best in
the industry, be it industry practitioners or academicians, so that when they graduate
they are industry ready. Our focus is to increase employability and not just provide
employment.”
Anchored in the Indian cultural context, Future Innoversity’s inimitable strength lies
in the practical wisdom and Group’s tacit knowledge that is incorporated in its unique
content and teaching methodology. This wisdom, gained from the Future Group’s
rich experience in the learning and development domain especially across the retail
industry, translates education into an end–to–end learning and skill building exercise
aimed at improving employability and building enduring careers for India’s millions.
Future Innoversity was recently awarded the Best National B-School Award by Star
News for the Industry Related Curriculum in Retail for the year 2011.
