Founded by Bikram Dasgupta - an entrepreneur of global repute - operated by the Dasgupta Family, and steered by a team of professionals, GBS not only stands out among other business schools due to its strong industry connect, but is also a front runner when it comes to amalgamating technology and innovative pedagogy with management education to maximize the learnings of its students.

The onset of the global pandemic resulted in progressive changes in the B-School's academic delivery. Having identified areas to harness technology, improve communications, streamline processes, the BSchool successfully created a niche for itself on the global industry-academia map, and built a sustainable, technology-driven education framework for future learners. Be it seamlessly transitioning from an offline to an online mode of academic delivery to a hybrid learning model, from on-campus recruitment drives to virtual internships and getting offered desirable job opportunities, from a digital admission process to issuing diplomas on a Secured Certificate Verification Platform, GBS has always focused on innovation with the appropriate use of technology, pertinent to the needs of time.
