Most MBA programmes have responded to the AI moment by adding a module.

In Phase 1, IIM Lucknow faculty teach a dedicated course in Executive Decision-Making with Data and AI, covering predictive analytics, scenario modelling, AI-augmented decision-making in pricing, operations, and risk, and executive-level governance of AI-driven decisions. Phase 2, delivered by PSB faculty, weaves digital strategy and AI transformation through four of its ten courses, including Digital Strategy and Information Systems and Innovation and Strategic Renewal.

The broader curriculum is equally forward-looking. Learners study geopolitical risk and how it intersects with corporate strategy, international market entry frameworks for emerging economies, ESG as a board-level governance priority, and the economics of platform and digital business models. Five specialisation tracks allow professionals to go deeper in the domain most relevant to their career trajectory: Strategic Leadership, AI and Technology, Finance, Marketing, or Operations and Supply Chain.

The programme is delivered entirely online over 18 months and includes an optional 7-day Paris campus immersion where participants attend academic sessions on the PSB campus, present work to an international cohort, and receive their MBA at a formal degree conferral ceremony in Paris. Programme fee starts at INR 6,80,000 with no-cost EMI available on upgrad.com.

For professionals preparing to lead in a world where AI, geopolitics, and digital disruption are reshaping every industry simultaneously, PSB MBA via upGrad offers a curriculum built for exactly that future.
