Students to Manage ₹20 Lakhs in Real Ad Budgets at AI-Powered 1-Year MBA in Digital Marketing by Digital Scholar
While traditional marketing degrees have often leaned heavily on classroom theory and simulated projects, this bold move by Digital Scholar introduces a model where students don't just learn about marketing strategy — they execute it, track results, optimize campaigns, and learn through direct performance.
Learning by Doing: Not Just a Degree, But Experience
The digital marketing MBA course is structured to train students in full-funnel campaign strategy, covering performance marketing, social media ads, marketing automation, and campaign attribution. The ₹20 lakhs in ad spend is allocated across multiple live projects where students work on real briefs, client accounts, and deliver measurable results — a unique feature very few programs globally offer.
This level of budget ownership helps students understand key industry metrics such as return on ad spend (ROAS), cost per acquisition (CPA), customer lifetime value (CLTV), and more. It also teaches students how to handle high-pressure campaign decision-making in a controlled learning environment — giving them a head-start in the workforce.
Rishi Jain, Co-Founder & CEO of Digital Scholar, explains, 'We're not preparing students for exams. We're preparing them for the future of digital marketing, where AI, performance, and execution skills are non-negotiable. Managing real budgets is the fastest way to learn what truly works — and what doesn't.'

Neither Britain Nor America – Half Of Pakistan's Bureaucrats Bought Land In This Small Country With ‘Illicit' Money
New Delhi: Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has stirred controversy with a social media post that targets the country's top bureaucracy. He claimed that more than half of Pakistan's most senior civil servants have purchased property abroad using money moved out of the country, often during their time in powerful government positions. According to him, these real estate investments were not made in traditional destinations like the United States or the United Kingdom. Instead, many officials bought land in Portugal, a relatively small European nation. He alleged that a growing number are now working to secure Portuguese citizenship, with some having already obtained it. Government records indicate that roughly 3,000 Pakistanis acquired Portuguese citizenship between 2016 and 2024. Asif said many of these individuals served in high-ranking posts and 'made billions' during their tenure, only to plan for a 'peaceful retired life' abroad. Offering one example, the minister pointed to a senior officer, reportedly close to former Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, who allegedly amassed around 4 billion Pakistani rupees in 'salami' (cash gifts) during his daughters' weddings. That officer, Asif said, is now comfortably settled overseas. In a jab at the political class, the minister said that unlike bureaucrats, politicians 'do not own plots or hold foreign citizenship' and only get 'leftovers' because they must contest elections, which limit their ability to enjoy such privileges.

Trump Says US Will Reap Billions From Tariff Blitz. But Who Pays The Bill?
US President Donald Trump says the United States will reap billions of dollars from his tariff blitz, but who pays the bill? Higher tariffs on goods from dozens of trading partners kicked in Thursday, ranging between 15 per cent and 41 per cent. Here is a look at the effects of Trump's tariff onslaught: Higher prices for US consumers? The tariffs are paid by US-based companies to US customs when they import goods from abroad. US consumers could see a range of products become more expensive if companies choose to raise prices to offset the higher costs of importing goods. For instance, Japanese cars face a 15-per-cent tariff while made-in-Vietnam T-shirts now have a 20-per-cent duty. But companies have other options: they can absorb the higher cost, which would hit their bottom line, or they can try to negotiate lower prices with exporters. US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell estimated at the end of July that higher tariffs were beginning to be felt on certain goods. For example, the US toy company Hasbro, maker of the Monopoly board game and the owlish electronic toy Furby and which imports half of its products from China, began raising prices in May and June. Procter & Gamble, the maker of Tide laundry detergent and Pampers diapers, has projected a $1 billion hit from US tariffs over the next year and said it would institute limited price hikes in the United States. The tariffs are even more problematic for US economic sectors which don't have an option to switch to local suppliers, said Philippe Chalmin, emeritus professor at Paris-Dauphine University. The United States imports lots of copper, a key metal in electrical machinery and wiring, which Trump announced would face a 50 per cent tariff on August 1. "Half of what the United States needs is imported from Chile, and following the announcement, the price of copper on the US market rose 25 per cent compared with the global reference price," said Chalmin. In the end, however, the Trump administration backpedalled and applied the tariff only to semi-finished copper products such as pipes and wires. Loss of competitiveness The bill could also weigh on companies which depend heavily on exports, with the rising prices of their products in the United States leading to a loss of competitiveness. This is the concern for the European wine and spirits sector, which has yet to obtain an exception from US tariffs. Higher prices on Champagne or Chianti could easily push US consumers to grab a bottle of Californian wine. The impact "will be all the harsher" since, in addition to the tariffs, the value of the dollar has fallen, which further increases the price of the bottles on shelves in US shops, warned Gabriel Picard, president of the French Federation of Wine and Spirits Exporters. He estimated that this combined effect could result in a one-billion-euro loss for French producers. "There will be sectoral differences and even within the same sector, it will depend on the negotiating power" between the producer, the wholesaler, and the retailer, said Bruno de Moura Fernandes, head of macroeconomic research at Coface, a firm which provides insurance and financial services for exporters. However, he said that the effect will be especially significant for industries already facing difficulties remaining competitive against their American counterparts, notably in the chemicals and steel sectors. Thinning margins Some companies have already announced that they will cut into their profit margins to offset the effects of US tariffs. Automakers, among the first affected by US tariffs, have already seen sales and profits hit. German auto giant Volkswagen said last month that US tariffs had cost it 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in the first half of the year as it reported falling profit. It now forecasts a profit margin for the year of between four and five per cent, down from 5.5 to 6.5 per cent previously, amounting to billions of euros for the group. US tariffs prompted Japanese auto giant Toyota -- the world's largest carmaker by sales-- to cut its annual net profit forecast by 14 per cent.

As tariff tensions soar & Re falls, gold price crosses Rs 1L/10 gm in Indian mkt
Hyderabad: The unending tariff war unleashed by US President Donald Trump, coupled with weaker-than-expected US macroeconomic data and a depreciating Rupee, fuelled gold's rise to record highs in the Indian market on Thursday. The yellow metal crossed the Rs 1.02 lakh/10 gm mark to hit a high of Rs 1,02,155 on MCX and was quoting at all-time highs of Rs 1,02,700 and Rs 1,02,550 in local spot markets like Delhi and Hyderabad, respectively. This was despite international gold prices being well below their all-time highs of around $3,509/Oz. "A depreciating Rupee is adding fuel to the fire. The rising trend is likely to continue as gold is likely to move out of the resistance zone of $3,450 to $3,800 now," said Surendra Mehta, National Secretary, India Bullion and Jewellers Association. Pointing out that gold rose to the upper end of the weekly range during the European trading session on Thursday, Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst – Commodities, HDFC Securities, said this was driven by renewed trade concerns boosting demand for traditional safe-haven assets.

Trump has announced a 100% tariff on imported semiconductors and chips. Additionally, he confirmed that Indian imports will incur an extra 25% tariff, while tariffs on select Brazilian goods have been raised to 50%," Gandhi explained. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally | Zen Life Mag Undo These factors apart, the sustained gold buying by China's central bank and rising expectations of the US Federal Reserve resuming its rate-cutting cycle in September are also powering gold upwards. Another factor at work here, said Praveen Singh, Commodity Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, is that Trump is likely to announce the next Fed Chair this week. "The incoming chair is expected to be more inclined towards rate cuts," he explained. The rising prices have already dampened the demand for gold in the Indian market. "The tariff shock is pressuring the Indian Rupee, making gold costlier for domestic consumers and dampening demand within India," said Avinash Gupta, vice-chairman, All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council. This is attested by the World Gold Council's (WGC) recently released Q2 2025 Gold Demand Trends report that said while global gold demand rose 3% year-on-year (YoY) to 1,249 tonnes in the April-June 2025 quarter driven by strong investment flows amid geopolitical uncertainties, demand in India fell 10% to 134.9 tonnes in Q2FY26 as compared to 149.7 tonnes in Q2FY25. The total gold jewellery demand in India too plunged 17% to 88.8 tonnes as compared to 106.5 tonnes in Q2FY25, even as investment demand for the yellow metal rose 7% to 46.1 tonnes in Q2FY26 from 43.1 tonnes in Q2FY25, WGC said. Sachin Jain, regional CEO, WGC in India, said the 30% rise in value of gold demand despite a 10% decline in physical gold demand mirrors the rising global price of gold while the 7% rise in investment demand for gold in India indicates a preference of gold as a long-term store of value among Indian consumers.
