Lovely Professional University (LPU) has teamed with global professional services firm EY India as a knowledge partner to provide an innovative Tech MBA programme, marking an ambitious decision to equip future leaders with the necessary skills to thrive in the digital age. This one-of-a-kind MBA (Management Technology) aims to bridge the gap between business strategy and technological innovation, empowering students to drive success in the rapidly evolving 21st-century landscape.
The Tech MBA curriculum is meticulously designed to blend advanced technical skills with strategic business acumen. Students will gain expertise in data analysis, statistical modelling, machine learning, database management, big data, and cloud computing, enabling them to leverage data-driven insights for informed decision-making. Dr. Rajesh Verma, Senior Dean of the Mittal School of Business, said, “The programme focuses on leadership and strategic thinking.” Students will not only master programming languages such as ‘Python’ and ‘R’ but will also gain insights into technology skills like data visualization, big data, and information security.
One of the programme’s most notable features is an international visit to global business hubs such as Singapore or Dubai, which gives students tremendous exposure to the world and insights into various business and technological ecosystems.

We endeavour to bring the right mix of subject matter experts, real-life case studies, and experience sharing to the modules covered. This will ensure students learn the business applications of analytics concepts and tools and how to select and implement relevant technologies for different business scenarios.
