Master of Telecom Management

India's telecom sector has been one of the greatest success stories of recent times. India is now among the fastest growing telecom markets in the world. Supportive government policies, coupled with private participation, have fuelled the unprecedented expansion of this industry. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), formed in 1997 to regulate both the government and the private players in the telecom sector and the New Telecom Policy introduced in 1999, were turning points in the history of telecommunications in India. The opening of the long-distance market in 2002, the termination of VSNL's monopoly over international traffic in the same year, and the resolution of the wireless in local loop issue contributed in further growth of the market. The huge market potential for telecom products and services in India and the favorable policy initiatives attracted several small and large players such as Nokia, Ericsson, Tata Teleservices, Reliance Communications, Bharti Teleservices, Sify, and Huawei. The healthy competition among mobile service providers has brought down telecom tariffs, which were among the highest in the world less than four years ago, to more affordable levels. The falling tariffs have led to the wireless subscriber base growing at a compounded annual growth of 90% over the last three years.Total phone connections in the country are expected to cross 250 million in coming years. Despite the runaway success, the Indian telecom industry faces many challenges. These include technology upgradation, spectrum availability, network management, customer retention, rural connectivity, and falling Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). Spectrum availability and efficiency of utilization of spectrum are issues that would have to be resolved for the unhindered growth of the telecom industry in India. Though urban connectivity has improved drastically, rural and remote areas in the country continue to be deprived of telecom connectivity.
8

Another challenge for service providers is retaining customers. Also, the ARPU in India dropping to single digits, compared to around $ 57 in the US, could affect profitability of Indian service providers. Managers in the telecom sector will have to handle the fast-changing technological and business environment. They would have to quickly respond to policy changes. They would be required to develop effective customer retention strategies and devise, manage and evolve new consumer services so as to attract new customers, increasingly from rural areas, and increase the average revenues per customer. They would have to be adept at planning, pricing, promotion, and financial management. The Master's in Telecom Management introduces students to the opportunities and challenges in this dynamic and growing sector.

Master of Aviation Management

The aviation industry in India has been growing exponentially over the past few years with the new reforms being introduced by the government. This industry has seen a major boom in terms of sales turnover of air service operators. However, there are a few major challenges that may The Indian civil aviation industry took its first steps in the early 1930s, when the Tatas established Tata Airlines. The next two decades saw the entry of several private carriers. In 1953, the government chose to nationalize private carriers and set up Indian Airlines to serve the domestic market and Air India to serve the international market. The national carriers enjoyed a monopoly till 1990-91, when the Open Sky policy was implemented. With the repeal of the Air Corporation Act, several private players such as Jet Air, Sahara Airlines, Modiluft, and East West Airlines were allowed to operate commercial airlines and a new chapter in the history of Indian aviation began. In 2003, more reforms were introduced in the aviation sector like an increase in the FDI limit to 49% from 40%, and a reduction of excise duty on aviation turbine fuel to 8% from 16%. The policy reforms and a favorable business environment attracted several more private players like Air Deccan, Spicejet, Go Airways, Indigo Airlines, etc, who were set-up to operate under a low cost model. The Indian aviation sector is currently pegged at US$7.7 billion and is expected to grow four-fold to US$33.4 billion in the next three years. Currently, there are 0.1 million travelers using the air transport services. It is estimated that 50 million people belonging to the middle income group will use the low cost airlines in the coming years. The aviation industry is all set to conquer greater heights with many new air service operators

entering this market. The government is planning to establish an independent regulatory authority, to be called Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA), to regulate tariffs in heavy-traffic sectors.

hinder the growth of the aviation industry. These include high fuel costs, high airport charges, and the high rate of failures in the airline business. Managers in this sector would be expected to have a thorough understanding of the cost structure and to devise new ways for revenue generation. They would be required to be adept at forming alliances with tour operators, corporates, and travel agencies. The Master of Aviation Management Program prepares students to efficiently, effectively, and professionally manage these airline companies, the number of which is ever-increasing.

Master of Infrastructure Management

The importance of infrastructure in the development of the economy needs no underscoring. As the Indian economy moves ahead with an above 9% growth rate, infrastructure investment is gaining a lot of attention. Further, from the earlier stage of exclusive dependence on the government, the policy framework stipulates that government step up public investment while joining hands with the private sectors for capital-intensive infrastructure projects. Huge investments are required to be made in the infrastructure industry every year to keep pace with the requirements of the growing Indian economy. The government is expected to focus on modernizing and upgrading the highways, improving the civil aviation infrastructure in terms of airports and runaways, upgrading ports, and building the railway infrastructure. The Indian real estate industry is also attracting interest. Housing assets continue to be in good demand and IT and retail are driving the commercial real estate. Many state governments have given an impetus to the real estate industry by repealing the Urban Land Ceiling Act, amending the Rent Control Act, and rationalizing the number of taxes. Another factor conducive to the growth of the industry has been availability of banking credit. Apart from old players such as HCC, Gammon, IVRCL, and Nagarjuna Constructions, a good number of new players from established houses like Reliance and Bharti are jumping into the fray with joint venture partners, to seize upon the opportunity that real estate offers. Real estate players like DLF, Unitech, Raheja, and Hiranandani have massive plans up their sleeves for developing residential and commercial real estate. With the announcement of several mega and ultra-mega power projects, the power sector also seems to be showing signs of revival. If the government goes ahead with muchneeded power sector reforms, the sector has the potential to grow at a fast pace and further fuel growth in the economy.
10

The infrastructure industry is as challenging as it is exciting. Projects with massive outlays face major challenges ranging from financial closure to execution problems of time and cost overruns. Further, bigger projects like SEZs and international airports face more complications with respect to funding and execution. Business models of infrastructure projects need understanding of the economy and of the inter-linkages with a number of industries. Managers in this sector would have to be well-versed with project planning, project financing, developing loan proposals, loan processing, credit sanctioning, progress monitoring, cost estimate preparation, and risk management. They would have to keep abreast of developments in different aspects of infrastructure and real estate. The Master of Infrastructure Management Program introduces students to the opportunities and challenges in this dynamic sector. MIM Program Structure A

Master of Hospital Administration

While the Indian economy is forging ahead and household incomes too are rising, quality healthcare is increasingly an area of concern for many people. On the one hand, there has been a drastic rise in lifestyle diseases in cities and, on the other, there has been a rising awareness about health and health insurance. These have fuelled the growth of the healthcare industry. The size of the Indian hospital industry is presently estimated at `2.7 trillion. This industry is growing at an annual rate of 13%. The private sector accounts for nearly 86% of the healthcare market while the public sector accounts for the rest. With over a 350 million strong middle class demanding quality health care, the Indian hospital industry is poised to grow at an even faster pace. The number of medical tourists visiting India is also increasing every year. Corporate hospitals, which came into existence with Apollo Hospitals in the 1980s, are now being set up in almost every Indian city. Corporate groups such as Max, Escorts, and Wockhardt have aggressive expansion plans. Furthermore, corporates such as the Tata Group, Larsen & Toubro, and Reliance have established hospitals for their employees. With the entry of corporate players into the Indian hospital industry, there has been an improvement in the infrastructure and the quality of services. Increasing lifestyle diseases and the rising demand for quality healthcare services have led to the emergence of specialty clinics. There is, however, still a gap between demand for and supply of hospital services in India, particularly in the rural areas. The figure for beds per thousand people in India is just one third of the comparable figure in China and half that of Malaysia. According to a WHO report, India needs to add 80,000 hospital beds each year for the next five years to meet the demands of its growing population. Public health expenditure in India is low when compared with the developed countries. There is also low penetration of health insurance. The recent government initiative focuses on improving healthcare
11

access, boosting private sector participation, and upgrading technology. The Indian hospital industry has the potential to become a global hub for healthcare services. An increasing number of global players are focusing on the Indian market. The industry is expected to grow rapidly over the next decade to reach `4.9 trillion by 2012. Managers in the Hospital and Healthcare industry would have to be well-versed in developing the appropriate pricing, branding, and promotional strategies. They would be required to understand the service delivery process and suggest improvements. They would have to have a thorough knowledge of all costs and work towards improving profitability. A Masters in Hospital Administration gives students an exposure to this vibrant and growing sector and introduces them to its opportunities and challenges. MHA Program Structure A

Master of Media Business Management

With the growing income levels in India, the media and entertainment (M&E) industry is poised to grow at a brisk pace. Apart from economic and demographic factors, favorable regulatory changes have led to increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) in the industry. According to the FICCI, India's entertainment industry was worth around US$ 3 billion and is growing at 19% annually. Television, the largest component of the M&E industry, constitutes 42% of the market, followed by the print media and films. Live entertainment, music, and radio are the other constituents of this industry. Radio is growing the fastest at 31% followed by television at 24%. Ad spend in India, at 0.34% of GDP, however, is one of the lowest in the world and just about a third of the global average. Further, though India may be producing about 1,000 movies a year, the revenue from them is only `14.14 billion. Television ownership and cable connection figures are still relatively low. These indicate that the industry, given the right environment, has the potential to grow at a high rate. Estimates suggest that the industry would be able to grow to `800 billion in 2010. The share of television is expected to grow to 51% at the cost of the print media, whereas the share of films is expected to remain constant. According to NASSCOM, the Indian animation industry segment is expected to touch US $15 billion in coming years. To India's advantage, studios in the West are looking E
q q

at reducing costs. With its vast English-speaking population and IT skills India makes a preferred choice compared to other competitors in Asia. The use of higher technology will bring convergence and propel India toward becoming an entertainment hub. Needless to say, media companies need to understand their customers better, plan better, ensure better market segmentation, and develop and implement innovative product, pricing, and promotional strategies. The Master in Media Business Management Program introduces students to the opportunities and challenges in this growing sector. MMBM Program Structure A

Master of Agri-Business Management

India has 297 million hectares of land, of which over 54% is arable. India is the third largest producer of agriproducts and processed food, just behind US and China. The Indian processed food industry is estimated to be ` 6 trillion and is growing at a rate of 10%. Export of processed food has been around `370 billion and is growing at 8%. The Indian food processing industry is becoming an attractive FDI destination; it attracted an FDI around `45.19 billion during the period 1991-2005. Higher disposable incomes have led to an increase in consumption of processed foods across all categories. For example, the consumption of products like nuts, frozen foods, and pasta have witnessed an average annual growth of over 10% during the last 5 years. The readyto-eat segment is experiencing an explosive growth of above 50%, with this trend expected to continue in the future. Though, the industry is dominated by unorganized small players who constitute 75% of the industry, several companies, both domestic and foreign, are expected to enter in the near future. However, the rate and degree of corporatization varies across the segments. For example, while the beverages and confectionery segments are dominated by the organized sector, segments like fruits & vegetable processing, dairy, and poultry are largely served by small, unorganized processors. India's share of processed food in the global market is very low at about 2%. While India continues to surge ahead with healthy GDP rate, the only sector that has not kept pace is agriculture. Since, in India, more than half of the population is dependent on agriculture, the government has taken some policy initiatives to encourage agri-businesses and the food processing sector.
13

The policy initiatives as well as strong demand side factors such as increasing urbanization, rising incomes, increasing number of double-income-nuclear families, increasing health awareness among consumers, increasing demand for healthy and nutritious foods, etc. have attracted several companies such as ITC, Dabur, and HLL to the industry. Undoubtedly, the industry is getting more organized. Managers in this sector would have to have a keen knowledge of the customer and provide solutions that meet their tastes and requirements. They would also have to be skilled at planning product launches, pricing, branding, promotion, etc. A Master's in Agri-Business Management would give students an exposure to this dynamic and growing sector and introduce them to the opportunities and challenges contained in it.

Master of Logistics Management

The supply chain and logistics industry, which broadly covers freight transportation, warehousing, packaging, customs clearing and forwarding, inventory management, labeling, and order processing, has benefited from the growth of the Indian economy in general and the manufacturing and services sector in particular. The major industries contributing to the logistics market include pharmaceuticals and chemicals, automotive, computer peripherals, FMCG, engineering products, machinery, retail, and healthcare. These industries are also opting to outsource their logistics requirements to specialized service providers, called Third Party Logistics (3PL) service providers. Of late, the concept of Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) service providers, acting as a single interface between the client and multiple logistics service providers, has also started gaining popularity. According to estimates, the Indian logistic market is expected to grow at an average annual growth rate of 6.4%. With the government giving a thrust to infrastructure by way of national highway projects, expressways, urban renewal plans, and investment in railways and port facilities, the implementation of VAT and rationalization of the taxation structure, the logistics industry is poised to grow at even faster rates. Logistics companies are expected to develop large regional warehouses. All major players such as the Container Corporation of India, the Transport Corporation of India, Blue Dart Express, Gati, the Shipping Corporation of India, and GE Shipping have aggressive plans to seize the emerging opportunities. The Indian logistics market is highly fragmented. Although worldwide, better supply chain management has reduced logistics costs by nearly 1%, in the last ten years, the Indian industry has failed to match the world's best markets in efficiency. However, Indian industry is increasingly adopting
14

more sophisticated logistics and supply chain management practices to gain a competitive edge. Technology deployment such as Radio Frequency Identification is also redefining the industry and improving efficiencies. Managers in the logistics industry would need to have a thorough understanding of the market in order to compete and sustain high growth. They need to understand their customers better, plan better to meet delivery deadlines in spite of exigencies, and be more efficient in utilizing their assets. The players would also have to upgrade their knowledge and understanding of international distribution. The Master in Logistics Management Program introduces students to the opportunities and challenges in this dynamic and growing industry.

Master of Pharma Business Management

With the advent of the new Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regime in 2005, the Indian pharmaceuticals industry has entered a new era. In the recent past, the Indian pharmaceutical industry has shown tremendous progress in terms of infrastructure development, creation of technology base, and diversification of product range, and now has the capability to manufacture bulk drugs belonging to all major therapeutic groups. Currently, the Indian pharmaceutical market size is estimated to be over `475 billion, and the industry is growing at an average annual growth rate of 13.7%. Indian pharmaceutical exports is expected to cross `270 billion in the coming years. According to a recent McKinsey report, the Indian pharmaceuticals industry has the potential to double in size in near future. However, the industry is highly fragmented, with more than 24,000 manufacturing units. It also has a number of pharmaceutical manufacturing units under the control of the central and state governments. In the private sector, Ranbaxy, Cipla, and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories are the major players. MNCs have maintained a low-key presence in the Indian market due to the absence of product patents and price controls. The pharmaceutical industry in India has the potential to achieve even higher growth levels. However, this is possible only if key enabling factors such as a world-class patent regime and an environment that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship are put in place. With over US$ 50 billion worth of drugs going off patent in the next four years, there is a huge global opportunity for India. Contract manufacturing is expected to touch `40 billion, whereas exports of pharmaceuticals,
15 Master Degree Programs

dominated by bulk drugs, would continue to grow at 17-18%. Managers in this sector would have to be knowledgeable of Intellectual Property Rights. Apart from having a thorough understanding of different functional areas, they would have to be aware of global best practices and implement them in their organizations. With a growing OTC market, they would have to be familiar with branding and brand development. They also would have to develop strategies concerning pricing, market segmentation, new product development, and distribution.
