Five students from the Bachelor of Business Administration in Digital Business and Entrepreneurship (BBA-DBE) programme at the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore(IIMB) have been selected for a fully-funded two-week international immersion at Hiroshima University in Japan, under the AGILE COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) initiative.
The selected students — Shreya Jain, Dhruv Deepak Bagla, Garv Agarwal, Parinistaa Sugandhi, and Arin Prakash — will engage in collaborative learning with peers from partner universities, and leverage technology, innovation, entrepreneurial and leadership skills to deliberate on real-world issues, such as Urban Planning, Internet of Thing (IoT), Waste Management, Renewable Energy and Climate Resilience.
BBA(DBE) aims to prepare future-ready entrepreneurs through an industry-relevant, modular, and fully online learning model. The programme attracted over 1,000 students from 359 cities nationwide in its first year.
The curriculum, which was designed in collaboration with academic and industry experts, combines foundational business education with cutting-edge skill development, immersive projects, and global exposure – making it the first initiative of its kind in India where undergraduate students in a fully online degree programme participate in an international immersion of this scale.
