How JKLU's BBA Programme Builds the Foundation of a Thriving Career
With hundreds of undergraduate programmes to choose from, it is quite common for a Class 12 student to feel nervous about making the right choice — because that one decision, about which programme to pursue, could shape their life for years to come. For students not inclined towards conventional paths like engineering or medicine, a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) offers a dynamic and future-ready alternative. But just as choosing the right programme is important, selecting the right institution is an equally significant decision. Jaipur's JK Lakshmipat University (JKLU) stands out with its future-focused BBA programmes that not only equip students with the skills and experiences necessary for success in the evolving global job market but also train and support them to embark on an entrepreneurial journey.

As Deloitte's 2025 Human Capital Trends Report underlines, 'As AI takes over more tasks, workers will be increasingly asked to invest in work that requires critical thinking, innovation, collaboration and meaningful human interaction.'

Taking cognisance of the need to equip graduates with 21st century skills, JKLU has integrated critical thinking and communication skills into its BBA programmes.

Old careers continue to remain relevant, say experts
At the webinar on 'Emerging Careers 2030: Why Humanities and Sciences Hold the Key', organised jointly by SRM Institute of Science and Technology and The Hindu, experts emphasised that relatively old careers continue to remain relevant. Pro Vice-Chancellor at SRM Institute of Science and Technology Vinay Kumar and Founder and CEO, Inomi Learning, Gurugram, Richa Dwivedi Saklani spoke of the several emerging career opportunities for students studying sciences or humanities. Mr. Kumar said that while AI, green economy and sustainability, logistics and e-commerce, and healthcare and life sciences were emerging fields, as mentioned in the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, existing careers would not change much in the future. He said jobs such as journalism, Human Resources, and corporate communications would remain important. Responding to his observation that India had specific problems such as growing urban development and an ageing society, which required tailored solutions, Ms. Saklani said people who would mull such solutions would require skills in technology, entrepreneurship, and the humanities. Both speakers stressed the importance of acquiring inter-disciplinary skills. Ms. Saklani said that while people in the sciences need to learn how to handle people effectively and identify talent, those in the humanities need to be more open to using technology, new software, and AI. Mr. Kumar emphasised writing persuasively, critical thinking, and empathy as important skills of the present and future. 'When people get trained in multiple disciplines, their thinking changes in a fundamental way,' he said, adding that the National Education Policy stressed on multi-disciplinary education. The speakers also said internships were important in expanding CVs. Mr. Kumar said several companies now request universities to send students to work with them. He said SRM had even reduced course work so that students could take up internships. 'But companies need to work with universities to make these internships meaningful,' he stressed. Ms. Saklani said Inomi encouraged students to get internships as it helped them 'build skills in a live environment with the support of mentors.' Internships, she said, helped students to 'hit the ground running' when they enter the job market. The discussion was moderated by Radhika Santhanam. This webinar can be viewed at

India lags behind rest of the world in AI adoption; only 15% of SMEs use AI: BCIC
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is underutilised in the SME and MSME manufacturing sectors in India and should be perceived as a transformative opportunity rather than a disruptive challenge, opined industry experts who spoke at a summit here on Wednesday. While speaking at the summit on 'Transforming industries with AI to achieve unmatched productivity and efficiency,' industry players also underlined the importance for enterprises to harness the potential of AI to optimise processes, improve decision-making, and scale sustainably in an increasingly digital economy. Chandrashekar Bharathi, Managing Director, AceMicromatic MIT said, 'AI is rapidly changing and should be a DNA approach for any manufacturing company as it re-purposes people to do more challenging jobs, empowering them to unlock new possibilities.'' From manufacturing floors to leadership decisions, AI-driven platforms must be used to harmonise data, enhance contextual awareness, and predict challenges before they arise, he suggested adding, 'As we step into Industry 5.0, it's not just about automation but intelligent collaboration between human ingenuity and digital precision.' Kenji Anzari, Head – CNC Systems, Mitsubishi Electric India said, 'AI is the foundation for the future of manufacturing. Human-machine collaboration is key, empowering devices to understand and respond intelligently to user commands while bridging information gaps.'' AI in manufacturing went beyond automation; it fuelled intelligent automation, enabled smart factories to be more efficient, adaptive, and sustainable, Mr. Anzari said. He further said, addressing challenges such as workforce development, productivity enhancement, and global competitiveness required AI-led solutions, from skill gap reduction and predictive maintenance to smart supply chain innovation. 'AI is not just an upgrade, it is the key to building a smarter, safer, and more resilient industry, positioning manufacturers at the forefront of global transformation.' Setting the context, G Prakash, Chairman, Manufacturing Expert Committee, BCIC said, India has a vast manufacturing base, with over 90% of industrial units falling under the MSME category. These enterprises contribute nearly 30% of India's GDP, employ 110 million people, and account for 48% of India's exports. 'However, many MSMEs were yet to embrace digitalisation, Industry 4.0, or AI, often perceiving these technologies as costly and complex. AI is not a luxury; it is a necessity,'' he stated. AI-driven solutions now available through affordable cloud-based and plug-and-play models can deliver productivity gains of 15% to 30%, enabling predictive maintenance, quality monitoring, and energy optimisation. 'AI adoption in manufacturing stands at 35–40%, with significant uptake in China, Germany, and the U.S. Yet India lags behind, with less than 25% adoption in organised manufacturing and even lower among MSMEs,'' Mr. Prakash added. Vineet Verma, President BCIC, said, 'AI revolution in manufacturing is not about replacing workers, it is about enhancing their capabilities. While concerns about job security persist, AI serves as an enabler, freeing employees from repetitive tasks and empowering them to focus on strategic and creative contributions.'' To thrive in this evolving landscape, upskilling and adaptability are essential, he added.
