Inspired by these very words from a man who was instrumental in transforming the aspirations of

millions of Indians into reality, thereby creating the world's largest democracy, we at MYRA believe that

the business education programs that we offer can similarly transform our students into agents of

change that can impact society positively. Our learning ecosystem is therefore designed to deliver a

holistic transformational learning experience built around a platform for contemporary and socially

relevant research, thus encouraging the development of innovative and leadership qualities in our

students.

CHAIRPERSON'S INVITATION

Dr. Shalini R.UrsFounder ChairpersonMYRA School of Business

Ph.D: University of MysoreExecutive Director, International School of Information Management, University of Mysore, Mysore.

The desire to transform higher education seeded the formation of Mysore Royal Academy. Fueled by the wish to be rethinking management

education when global economic scenario is shifting dramatically to emerging market economies—where the bottom of the pyramid is yet to be

served, and demands innovations and entrepreneurship of a different kind, MYRA School of Business was launched in 2012. MYRA is conceived

with an unwavering focus on excellence. Acknowledging that what makes or mars a world-class institution is its faculty, MYRA brings academic

leaders from across the world to teach and effectively bridges the quality gap that affects management education in India.

We have created a platform to nurture future leaders who would build businesses and help contribute to India's economic growth and progress.

MYRA is a unique boutique business school offering individual attention, blending academic rigour with experiential learning to prepare

graduates who have the drive and passion to help transform the business landscape. We enable and empower students to rediscover

themselves and leverage them into a new beginning and a great career in management.

Believing that our economy and society needs not just leaders but IMPACT LEADERS—who can drive profits, the top line, the bottom line and

also create opportunities to impact society, MYRA is committed to create a generation, which creates wealth, employment, and prospects to

impact the world through their jobs/enterprises. We aim to inculcate the idea of 'Shared Value' and not just share holders' value.

At MYRA, we wish to make a difference to the world by preparing business leaders and managers with a social consciousness. All

stakeholders—students, faculty, staff, business, community, and the management come together to LEARN to CREATE economic,

environmental and social value through business. It is about realizing that Shared Value opens up new market based opportunities

for achieving strong profits and growth by entering the untouched market between business and society.

Some of the initiatives that we have undertaken since inception speak for our resolve—be it the release of

customized copy of the book Reverse Innovation by Prof. Vijay Govindarajan of Tuck School of Business during

the launch of MYRA campus by Mr Deepak Parekh, Chairman, HDFC in November 2012; launch of CESBI —

Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Business Innovations in January 2013; or launch of Project

VidyaArthi: Enabled Learning, by Mr. Suneet Singh Tuli, CEO of DataWind (makers of Akaash Tablets) in

November 2013, equity is woven into the fabric of MYRA's learning experience.

We believe that MYRA will transform you into a MYRACLE.

I invite you to come and experience MYRA and “be the change you wish to see in the world!”

Dr. Rajiv K. Sinha Founding Dean,MYRA School of Business

In today's complex and interconnected world, emerging business leaders will need to address new challenges in a rapidly changing

environment that is technologically advanced, socially complex and highly globalised. At MYRA, we aim to prepare our students for a world

yet to be imagined, to manage markets that are yet to emerge, and to lead decisively in situations that cannot be predicted.

We teach the science of management along with the art of leadership, which we view as creative and powerful forces with enormous

potential to improve the well-being of not only India but also that of the world.

Our Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPX) are designed to deliver

life-changing and career-defining learning experiences that will equip you with the tools and skills to deal with confidence and

competence with the dizzy dynamics of the everyday business environment.

Our pedagogy emphasises research-based problem solving, the study of emerging markets and cross-cultural issues, and also on

developing entrepreneurial skills. The often seen turmoil in the financial markets and the rapid erosion of public confidence in large

public corporations call for a concentrated focus on the Triple Bottom Line-to create economic, environmental and social value

through the best business practices.

You will be taught by distinguished faculty of international repute—all of whom realise that it is not only their responsibility to pursue

cutting–edge research and impart wholesome knowledge, but to also broaden your perspectives, inspire innovative thinking, and

steer you along the path to professional success.

Most important, you will be able to interact and network with our diverse and dynamic Founding PGDM and PGPX Class cohorts

who will soon be the Founding Alumni for their respective programs. Coming from 13 different States, 75% of the students in

the PGDM program are boys; 25% girls; 75% carry qualifications in engineering; 20% in commerce and business management; and

5% in science. More than half have work experience ranging from 1 to several years covering diverse industry sectors ranging from

agriculture to aviation to automobiles, human resources to healthcare, information technology to insurance, and tourism to textiles.

Needless to say, they have significantly participated in and contributed to the enrichment of the learning experience at MYRA.

Now, you have such an opportunity too. On behalf of the MYRA School of Business, I invite you to explore all that we

have to offer.

MYRA LEARNING EDGE

The MYRA Learning Ecosystem – 5 Key Differentiators

Global Curriculum

Internationally Renowned Faculty

Immersion Based Learning

1. All programs at MYRA focus on contemporary and connected learning that

recognise India's leadership role among the emerging markets and its unique position in the global economy.

The program curriculum is continually updated to adequately reflect cross cultural business dynamics

providing the needed global learning edge to our students.

2. —All courses at MYRA are taught by eminent

professors from globally recognised schools, who are leading researchers in their respective domains and

regularly publish their papers in academic journals. Such research outcomes are also interwoven into the

curriculum, which in turn enables an understanding of the scientific approach to problem solving. This equips

the student with the capability to analyse real world business scenarios and make better informed and

wholesome business decisions.

3. —Courses at MYRA are taught using the immersion model,

where learning is optimised using a combination of contemporary teaching methodologies spread over

relatively short delivery durations. Our courses are accordingly structured so that the student takes only one or

two courses at a time.

—

10

4. —Our compact, connected campus at Mysore is a

refreshing departure from the stuffy crowded classrooms and narrow corridors that one may usually find.

The architecture fosters an atmosphere of openness that enables learning, collaboration and networking

amongst students, faculty and industry experts. This is further supported by the state of the art library with

both conventional and electronic learning material access, and high speed internet connectivity across the

campus.

5. —MYRA is located within a 3 kilometre radius of industry

giants like Infosys, Wipro, Software Paradigms, Larsen & Toubro, Bharat Earth Movers Ltd, Automotive Axles,

Triveni Engineering, JK Tyres, etc. In the periphery are located other reputed organisations like ABB Ltd,

Nestle, Reid & Taylor, Bhoruka Aluminium, TVS, Brakes India, Jubilant Life Sciences, etc. With improving

national and international access in terms of road, rail and air connectivity and offering significantly better

quality environs, many well known industry names are choosing to set up their newer campuses at Mysore.

This access gives us the opportunity to freely interact with and learn from leading industry practitioners thus

immensely enriching the learning experience at MYRA.

MYRA BUSINESS EDUCATION PROGRAMS

MYRA currently offers two programs, the AICTE approved Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM)

and the Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPX), both designed to enable a deeper understanding of

contemporary management thinking and techniques that are relevant in the context of rapidly transforming

local and global business landscapes. These programs are delivered in a dynamic learning environment that

is further enriched by lasting relationships you will develop with your peers, professors and other

stakeholders. The program you choose will depend largely on what you have accomplished so far and the

direction you would like your life and career to take in the years ahead.

14

Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM)

The AICTE approved Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) focuses on establishing a solid

foundation in business management and leadership. The two year program delivery structure involves

special practicums, summer internships, and international exchange opportunities as key highlights,

allowing you the flexibility to explore a variety of disciplines and the freedom to tailor your education in

line with your intellectual interests and career goals.

MYRA PROGRAMSPost Graduate Program for Executives (PGPX)

The Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPX) is a one-year advanced program

designed for candidates with precise academic goals, five or more years of professional

experience, and intend to resume their professional careers quickly. It has been

specifically developed to enhance the analytical and leadership skills needed to make

high-level strategic decisions in a fast-changing and sometimes chaotic business

scenario.

Challenging, comprehensive and global in scope, the PGPX program aims to make you a

future ready leader. It offers you an ability to think across disciplinary boundaries and

emphasizes holistic learning through multiple learning opportunities from interactions

with faculty, peers and business leaders. It encourages self-learning through structured

reflection. It is unique since it provides much more than a 2 year program within the span

of one year and optimises the opportunity cost of pursuing business education in terms of

both time and money, without compromising in any way on quality and content, making it

a highly attractive value proposition to prospective students.

1 Year 24 Courses 72 Credits

Executive Education Programs

MYRA also offers Executive Education Programs, both open and customized, in collaboration with specialist faculty from

reputed international institutions, offering co-branded certification for select programs. These programs will provide the

executive learner with the requisite knowledge, tools and skills that can be immediately applied in his/her operating

environment. MYRA also appreciates that the sponsoring organisation, while supporting the individual executive's

development, also expects that these learning takeaways will be shared across the organization, and add value to its overall

performance.

Program delivery comprises carefully selected combinations of interactive learning, case work, assessments and

simulations, thus assuring participating managers and executives of a learning experience that will challenge, shape and

perhaps change the way they professionally think and act in their respective roles.

The business education programs offered at the MYRA School of Business are refreshingly different in that the individual program design and delivery is a wholesome contextual mix of strong academic foundations and tested contemporary business world learning. Such a learning ecosystem is bound to develop business managers with a valuable ability to effectively deal with the complex challenges of today's business world.

In order to be a good manager and a strong leader, it is essential to strike a balance between reflection and action. You also need to have the requisite social acumen and emotional intelligence to inspire and influence the people around you. While most MBA programs do provide stand-alone leadership modules, MYRA offers an ongoing customized program that follows and shapes your personal and professional development. Taught by experts in leadership and team building, the program introduces a range of innovative activities designed to enhance your ability to manage and motivate not only yourself but those you need to team with and lead.

At MYRA, we strongly believe that what we call 'inter-networking' is one of the most vital aspects of business management education. Staying connected on campus and virtually through activities organized by Professional and Social Clubs foster long-lasting professional relationships and friendships that allow you to get to know and work better with your bright, self-motivated classmates and faculty members. Additionally, by regularly inviting a broad cross-section of industry experts and leaders to speak to and interact with our students, MYRA creates several platforms for you to connect directly with the outside business world.

‘Inter-networking’ Opportunities 4.

MYRA's current international associations with the W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University,USA, and the Catolica-Lisbon School of Business and Economics, Universidade Catolica Portuguesa, Lisbon,Portugal, open up opportunities for you to expand your global perspectives by allowing you to spend one or two terms abroad with these institutions. Through such exchange programs, participating MYRA students can acquire rich exposure to the cross-cultural business dynamics of European and American markets, while exchange students from these international partners will better understand and relate to the unique and challenging business environment of one of the fastest growing emerging economies of the world.Several such exchange partnership opportunities with leading business education institutions in other parts of the world are under negotiation.

STUDENTS SPEAK

Ananth Srinath (PGDM)(B.Sc in Biotechnology. M.Sc in International Health Policy and Health Economics. 4+ years of work experience spanning Sri Shankara Cancer Foundation, Narayana Hrudayalaya Group and Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre )

The academic experience has been one of the biggest takeaways at MYRA. I am constantly amazed by the new things I learn every day in the classroom. The faculty are knowledgeable in their respective fields and encourage student participation by facilitating discussions in class. What has struck me most about the Professors at MYRA is how concerned they are about the students learning.The Immersion Model coupled with individual attention given to students ensures that the MYRA experience is right up there among the best.

Karthik Dasari (PGDM)(B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Masters in Corporate Law. 3.5+ years of professional experience spanning Crompton Greaves and Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence)

MYRA at first seemed a risk for me in terms of time and money, but two and half months into the program assured me that I had made a wise choice. I relish every moment of the lectures delivered by eminent global faculty. The carefully designed pedagogy integrates classroom and peer learning through team assignments. I am sure that efforts of the founders will make MYRA a premier global B-school and I feel proud to be a part of the founding batch of this nascent institute.

Srinivasan Mohan (PGDM)(B.Tech in Information Technology. 2 years of professional work experience with Infosys Technologies and Goal.com respectively)

If I would have to sum up my experience at MYRA, I would say it has been life-changing. Having some of the best teachers imparting their knowledge in a serene campus at Mysore is the school's standout point. In addition the learning opportunities by means of projects and guest lectures are endless, making it a program which is very much worth the time and money.""

My journey at MYRA is synonymous with the phrase 'Intellectually Stimulating.' This combined with numerous networking opportunities with industry leaders, awe inspiring infrastructure and a competent cohort have added to the richness of learning at this fabulous school. The immersive curriculum along with real-world case studies have made the courses interesting as well as relevant to the current market needs. It has truly been a 'Once in a Lifetime' opportunity for me to study at MYRA.

Plavani B Mandanna (PGDM)(Bachelors in Hotel Management. 2 years of professional experience at Insignia Africa Limited )

Everything about the college is so overwhelming. The faculty is very erudite and avuncular. They have great expertise with their subjects in the curriculum. The guest lectures conducted are so informative and thought–provoking, I am catapulted into the 7th heaven for enrolling in MYRA and wish to see the transition from a student with 2 years of work experience to an ace business woman handling with grace the trials and tribulations of the corporate world.

Surya Vadhana (PGDM) (Bachelors in Business Administration. Fresh Graduate)

Frenzied morning bus rides, hot chocolate and over boiled Maggie coupled with some scintillating conversations, astounding lectures by eminent faculty and sleepless nights filled with dreams of becoming the next big thing have become a norm. Life at MYRA has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride.

Mehul Shah (PGPX)(B.E in Electronics and Communication. Worked with TCS for 5 years and 3 years in a self-managed consulting firm)

So what is MYRA really like? The answer—pretty awesome. It's been a journey of transformation. Joining MYRA is one of the best decisions I have made. Being part of the founding batch, there were numerous doubts about the infrastructure, course, faculty. However, these doubts were quickly put to rest once the program started. The USP of MYRA is the experience of an International MBA at an affordable cost. From the orientation program called Week of Welcome (WoW) and the courses to the infrastructure, faculty and cohort, it truly has been 'A Journey of Transformation'
