“Students need exposure to contexts and situations that require them to use their knowledge in the right manner. They also need to constantly measure their own performance with and learn from as many of their contemporaries as possible. Our endeavor at HBS is to provide this experience to students in our own way,” said Prof. S.S. Prasada Rao, Dean and Director, Hyderabad Business School (HBS), GITAM University.
