The MBA in AI for Business program at Chandigarh University is built on a simple reality: every major business function is being reshaped by Artificial Intelligence, and employers are no longer hiring managers who rely only on traditional methods.
According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, 86% of companies globally expect AI, Big Data, and digital tools to transform their operations before 2030, with the share of AI-augmented roles rising across marketing, finance, HR, operations, supply chain, and consulting. The same report notes that nearly 39% of all core job skills are projected to change in the next five years, making AI literacy a fundamental requirement for future managers.
India is experiencing this shift even more sharply. The India Skills Report 2024 highlights that demand for AI-skilled talent has risen more than tenfold since 2016, yet the supply gap continues to widen. Deloitte and NASSCOM estimate that India may require close to one million AI-skilled professionals by 2026, driven by the rapid adoption of digital workers, intelligent automation, and data-driven decision systems across industries. PwC’s India Workforce Study adds that over 60% of large Indian employers expect AI to be embedded into routine business workflows within the next two years, creating strong demand for hybrid roles where managers use AI tools but do not need to build algorithms.
The MBA in AI for Business prepares students for modern managerial roles where AI is part of everyday decision-making. The program focuses on how managers apply AI tools in marketing, finance, and HR without the need for coding or deep technical training. Students learn to use AI for customer analytics, forecasting, risk analysis, talent management, and strategic planning across real business scenarios.
With dual specialisations in Marketing, Finance, and HR integrated with AI, graduates are equipped for high-growth hybrid roles across consulting, BFSI, e-commerce, healthcare, manufacturing, and digital enterprises. The program builds AI-fluent managers who can integrate intelligent tools into strategy, lead AI-enabled teams, and stay relevant from day one in a rapidly evolving business landscape.
