Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSoM), Bengaluru, has been recognised as India’s “Best B-School for Emerging Leaders” at the Future of Management Education Awards 2025, held as part of the BW Education Summit. The award acknowledges the school’s unique focus on building leadership capability among early & mid-career learners, through a curriculum that blends academic rigour with strong industry integration.
JAGSoM featured alongside distinguished colleges like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta & IMT Ghaziabad, all recognised for excellence in leadership development, digital transformation and industry-linked management education. The jury cited JAGSoM’s differentiated approach to leadership education, industry co-creation, and alignment with the evolving demands of the AI-driven future of work. This has reaffirmed JAGSoM's 30-year legacy as one of India's most forward-thinking & holistic development-centric management institutions.

On this recognition, Prof. Rakesh Mediratta, Director, JAGSoM, said, “This award reflects our commitment to building not just managers, but future-ready leaders. At JAGSoM, relevance, academic rigour and deep industry engagement are central to how we design education for tomorrow’s business challenges.” According to the institution, its bespoke curriculum design is anchored in the belief that leadership requires more than functional excellence, “including the ability to communicate clearly, work across diverse teams globally and make data-informed decisions in uncertain, evolving environments.”
As one of India's first AACSB accredited institutions, JAGSoM is currently placed in the top 6% of business schools internationally. This standing was further reinforced in the QS Global Rankings 2026, where JAGSoM is the only Indian B-school with all four of its programmes featured. It is important to note that QS Global Rankings evaluate institutions across academic & employer reputation, teaching capacity and outcome-led indicators such as employability & alumni success.
These credentials have helped Jagdish Sheth School of Management build a reputation for career focused management education. The “Best B-School for Emerging Leaders” award adds to this trajectory, positioning the school as a first-choice for students seeking education that is globally benchmarked, industry-anchored and built around long-term leadership readiness.
The BW Education Summit 2025 underscored a clear shift in what defines a strong B-school today: not just reputation, but the ability to build graduates who combine strategic thinking, digital fluency and leadership for modern careers. In that context, JAGSoM’s recognition signals rising demand for B schools that do more than make learners job-ready, but also help professionals transition into leadership roles.
