Enhancing on the technology-connect of the B-School, Rahul Dasgupta, Director, Globsyn Business School said, “Globsyn Business School was started in 2002 with a vision to create industry-ready managers for the technology-driven knowledge economy. Having been promoted by Globsyn with deep roots in IT hardware, training and fulfilment, GBS uses technology-enabled platforms and systems in all its operations and processes. With Globsyn now looking at Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Analytics and Internet of Things as an area of focus, the students of our B-School can only expect greater dependence on these emerging technologies to further improve the academic delivery process.”
