Five education destinations to check out in 2017

The next decade will see a transformation of career choices and global workplace practices. Students gearing up for this transformation are looking for courses which can ‘give you more’ across a range of non-traditional education destinations. Tushar Sharma, who chose to study Software Engineering at Athlone Institute of Technology, Ireland, says “I found my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at AIT to be industry-driven, providing me with the necessary skills to pursue a rewarding career in the software industry.” He has completed his journey from being a student in New Delhi to being a part of the global workplace, working for Hewlett Packard in Dublin, Ireland.

Ireland:

Ireland has emerged as one of the new education destinations popular with students looking for courses from Computer Science, Cloud Computing, Data Analytics, PharmaMBA, Business Management, Biotechnology, Biomedical and general sciences. Student enrollments into Irish institutions have gone up by over 200 per cent in the last three years with over 2,000 Indian students currently studying there. This is not surprising considering that students have lucrative post-study options at leading companies such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Abbott, Allianz and Ericsson which have their European or EMEA HQ in Ireland. With the one year stay-back option, students can seek jobs in over a 1,000 multinationals based in Ireland.

France:

Similarly, other European countries like France and Germany are becoming the first preference for students who want to explore education through paths not so commonly taken. Eisha Mathani, who wants to pursue a course in Luxury Branding says, “France (as an education destination) is the first choice for me. There seems to be no other country that knows the world of luxury as much as France does and the location only makes it better”. With a large number of scholarships, world-ranked institutions and comparatively lower tuition fees, France now has over 4,000 Indian students studying across its institutions. According to the new scheme agreed upon during PM Modi’s visit to France, Indian students will now have a stay-back option for 24 months on the completion of their course.

Germany:

Colleges and universities in Germany have always enjoyed an excellent reputation for post graduate courses in Engineering and for their research and innovation. With over 10,000 students going from India to Germany each year, the numbers are expected to grow even further primarily due to two factors – one, Germany’s advancement as a hub for scientific research in the world, and two, students no longer need to have the knowledge of, or be proficient in the German language. Students who complete their higher education in Germany can apply for an 18-month visa which helps them seek employment with international and German companies.

New Zealand:

At the other end of the spectrum, New Zealand has seen a tremendous growth of Indian students with almost 30,000 students pursuing their studies in the non-university tertiary sector or the ‘Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics’ (ITPs). Traditionally associated with Hospitality courses and specialised programs in sports – from medicine to marketing, New Zealand has emerged as a destination for science and technology as well. Students can choose from universities and the ITPs for their courses, apply for scholarships and even avail a post-study work visa for 12 months on the completion of their course.

West Indies:

Students looking for niche or highly-specialised programs can opt for institutions or destinations focussed on these courses, such as studying Medicine at St. George’s University (SGU)Gernada, West Indies. Specialising in just three areas of medicine – MBBS, Veterinary Medicine and Public Health, SGU has enrolled more than 90 medical aspirants and Indian students into their programmes in the past couple of years. Students who complete their course may get a visa to stay back for up to one year based on the discretion of the visa officer. Students gain their clinical training in countries like the US, the UK and Canada and usually find themselves placed well on the completion of their programmes.

LUXURY TOPS AS THE EMERGING MBA SPECIALIZATION WORLDWIDE!

MANAGEMENT MASTERS

Pratibha Jain, overseas education consultant, profiles emerging specialisations offered by business schools across the globe

While experts continue to debate whether management education has lost its sheen, B-schools across the globe are striving hard to retain the relevance of a management degree in a dynamic market scenario. This has led to a rise in a number of new-age MBA specialisations. Here are a few niche areas that students can consider:

1)  LUXURY BRAND MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT

A rise in the urban elite class has opened up a clientele for luxury merchandise and services ranging from designer dresses, bags, handmade jewellery, watches, accessories and custom cars to premium vacation resorts and exotic real estate apartments. Creating an aura of exclusivity, prestige and social status around a product is a specialised and complex science. Luxury brand management, as an interdisciplinary subject, helps students understand the value associated with a brand and set a specific marketing plan for the product. Client association is an integral part of this field to keep the brand popular while retaining its exclusivity. A strong business management background, coupled with functional marketing practices, is essential for those who wish to make a career in this field. A luxury brand manager learns to constantly redefine luxury contours keeping in mind changing times, perceptions and tastes of the public. Students may opt for an MBA or a PG specialisation in European countries like the UK, France and Italy which are home to some of the best luxury brands. Essec and HEC in France, International University of Monaco in Italy, Regents and Southampton University in the UK, and Columbia and NYU in the US also offer courses in luxury and brand marketing and management.

2) SPORTS MANAGEMENT

With a growing television audience for all kinds of games, sports is now a US$ 200 billion industry annually. A career in sports management is for students with core business and management

skills. The course modules focus on international sports governance, managing sports technology and innovation, business, finance and law. Aspirants can apply to universities in Australia, Europe and US. There are a number of sports management programmes at the University of Loughborough and Coventry in the UK, University of Alberta in Canada, IE in Spain, the University of Western Australia, La Trobe and Griffith in Australia, as well as the University of Virginia and the University of Massachusetts in the US.

3) LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

A large consumer market with mega malls and multiple outlets of the same retail chains has created a demand for products from different regions under one roof. A career in logistics and supply chain management is for students with strong management skills. A course in this field will train students in logistics, that is, managing

transport, air freight, couriers and shipping, managing retail stores, etc. Qualified professionals can work with organisations with a need for co-ordination of resources like the real estate sector, hostels, hospitals, catering firms, transport management and large international trading houses, etc.

The logistics specialisation is offered by most B-schools such as Cranfield, Warwick and Aston in the UK, Rotterdam School of Management, HEC and INSEAD in continental Europe, and Purdue, Arizona State, Michigan State in the US.

4) MUSIC MANAGEMENT

Students who wish to build a career in music management must have a fair knowledge of music production, sound engineering electronic production management and emarketing. A Master’s in music business management trains students in key business areas like finance, marketing, leadership, organisational management and entrepreneurship with special application to the music industry like knowledge of intellectual property and copyright laws, and a focus on the live music industry and revenue through digital content. The University of Westminster in the UK, Berklee College of Music, NYU, and University of South Florida in US offer music management courses.

Since most B-schools look for students with work experience, freshers should work in their field of interest for a short time before making the final decision. This will help them understand the way the industry functions as well as gauge their individual longterm interests.

Visit To The Leela Palace

“Hospitality is when someone feels at home in your presence”

Hospitality is simply an action to show love and care. And that’s exactly what we witnessed when we paid a visit to The Leela Palace, Delhi.  The hotel opened in the year 2011 and is a perfect choice for both business and pleasure. The Leela Palace New Delhi reflects the grace and architecture of a beautifully made Palace and the moment you set your foot in, everything epitomizes the same. The hotel has a total of 254 rooms of 550sq. ft and above, equipped with latest technology. The hotel also houses some of the best restaurants and Spa options for its guests. The Leela Palace is known for its luxury hospitality and has won many accreditation and awards, including being in the Top 4 Best of the Best Hotels in the World, by Robb Report in 2012.

Luxury Connect Business School arranged for us to attend the luxury conference that was to take place at The Leela Palace followed by a tour to explore the quintessential luxury property. Right from the entry to the exit, the staff that came in contact with us during the entire duration was extremely humble and polite. They greeted us with a big smile and a polite Namaste. On the day of our visit, the hotel was having a very busy day, with all the rooms being occupied, a luxury conference taking place and some foreign delegates visiting. In spite of it, the General Manager of the hotel was helpful enough and arranged for a staff member to take us around the property. The hotel has imbibed the palace theme in their décor, lighting, and the overall ambiance. A walk through the corridors gave a feeling of grandeur and everything right from the beautiful lamps, the chandeliers, the intricate brass work and fresh roses kept at every corner and tables added to the enchanting experience. As informed by their staff, the hotel orders 14000 roses every third day and uses them to adorn their entire property. No wonder, wherever my eyes wandered, I found fresh roses and flowers!

Besides the décor, the hotel has a wonderful and massive lobby which was recently decorated for Christmas with a huge tree in the middle. Along with tree, the hotel had made a Gingerbread house as well that stocked different kinds of breads, cookies and desserts. Facing the lobby through a see-through glass is a hidden garden with all exotic flowers planted around with a beautiful Buddha statue in the center. The staff also took us around their restaurants offering continental, Japanese and multi-cuisines. Their Japanese restaurant had an outdoor seating and was a treat to the eyes. The cold winter weather and seating’s amidst natural flowers and trees made it one of my favorite spots in the entire hotel. Besides this, an outpost of the New York favorite, the Le Cirque in Leela Palace Delhi shines in terms of the service and location. It’s on the 10^th floor and provides a breathtaking view of the capital. The evening we visited, the view was enhanced by the recently settled fog and the restaurant was automatically added to my bucket list to be visited with family in future. For me as a customer and a visitor, the hotel ticks all the boxes as far as food, service, and décor are concerned.

The true culture of The Leela was experienced in those few minutes I spent in the lobby. From welcoming the delegates and the guests with utmost warmth, garlands and refreshments to general greeting and a smiling face put forth by the staff for the people sitting in the lobby, everything made the guests feel like the jewel on the cushion of hospitality. As a student of LCBS, it was our privilege to experience the luxury of this level at first hand and understand that it’s not important what job you do, but how you do it! As an aspiring luxury professional, the field visit was truly enriching and beneficial to shape up our personality traits and be industry ready for the dynamic industry.

Why to do a Luxury Management course?

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." - George Bernard Shaw. 

As we see in today's world, change has become an important part of everybody's life. But there are masses who fear change irrespective of what type of change it is. In my past say 6 months of experience,  I must have counselled some 500 students who sort of show interest in our special program of ‘Luxury Brand Management’, but are unable to break the routine mould of general MBA program.

The reasons vary from any of the below :

•  They do not understand the program & their future.
• They do not want to leave the crowd and stand out.
•  They have the peer pressure of doing the same old Management program.
• Parents play an important role in deciding a child's career and even if a student wants to do the course, parents may not be as receptive.
• Lack of industry knowledge.
•  They are still confused as to what to do after an MBA because a routine MBA does not guarantee you good employment.

Putting it simply, they are RISK AVERSE or not open to change.

As a matter of fact, India's Luxury industry is predicted to grow from $18.5 billion currently to $50 billion by 2020 and to $180 billion by 2025. By sheer logic, if the market grows,  so would be the associated job opportunities. As per the studies, Indian Luxury retail would require the manpower of 5.6 million heads by 2022 !  And, an average starting  salary of a Luxury specialist could be from 6 Lakhs per annum upwards !

if you compare the salary packages of other B-schools the largest chunk just gets the salary of nothing more that Rs. 3-4 Lakhs per annum.

A luxury management course can be done by any student who is interested in making his career in the field of Luxury. This can be into any industry sector ranging from  Automobile, Fashion, Hospitality, Luxury Real Estate, travel, health, fitness and wellness etc.   A student can choose any career opportunities in any of these sectors, and work with options like retail chains, design houses, export houses, independent designers, media houses or even start their own venture.

Typical job roles could vary from Front-end profiles - Such as

Luxury Sales Advisor,

Luxury Retail Marketing Executives,

Luxury Senior Sales Advisor,

Visual Merchandisers,

Assistant Store Managers,

Customer Relationship Manager,

Store Manager,

Store Director,

Area Manager,

Associate Retail Head,

Retail Head,

Brand Head,

Fashion Marketer.

There could also be Back-end Profiles:

PR Consultant,

Event Planner & Manager,

International Conference Manager,

Retail Merchandiser,

Logistics Manager,

Supply Chain Manager,

Wardrobe Manager,

Luxury Consultant,

Fashion Buyer,

Brand Manager,

Country head etc.

In a nutshell, doing a Luxury management program will fetch a promising career as we see the tremendous growth in the Indian Luxury market.

The best way to know something is to learn from an experienced person

VISIT TO INDIAN LUXURY CONFERENCE

As students of Luxury Connect Business School, we got the opportunity to attend the 4th Indian luxury conference “CII-ET Dialogue on Luxury” organized on9^th December,2016at the Hotel Leela Palace, New Delhi

The theme of the conference being “Marketing Indian Luxury for the Global Elite”, we learned the views of Luxury experts on the performance of luxury sector in India.

The conference was started with welcome remarks by Amita Sarkar, Deputy Director General, CII. The members of the panel shared their thoughts about the position of Luxury in the Indian Market.

The Indian heritage story is well known across the globe. The world looks towards India for its spiritual, historic and traditional treasure of regal palaces, exquisite jewellery, rich weddings etc. Luxury in reality is not driven by need, but desire. The Luxury customer still thinks that: - I am not splurging money, rather investing in something. Luxury has a emotional connect with the consumers. The good news is that as population grows & their income level grows, their standard of living increases, it would definitely boost the luxury sector.

Although Luxury brands are also affected by the current demonetization, it is believed by the Luxury Experts that impact of this on Luxury is very short term. In Just couple of months, there would be recovery from this situation. This is because Luxury is not something just restricted to the aspiration class; it is the necessity for those who are already fit in the stage of Luxury consumption.

Mr. Nakul Anand(Executive Director of ITC Limited) stated that despite the demonetization situation, last month was the best time for them in terms of sales.

According to Mr. Sanjay Kapoor, Executive Chairman of Genesis Luxury; Luxury in India is increasing at 25% P.A. and expected to reach 18.3 billion from the current 14.7 billion. This is due to many reasons like rise in disposable income of consumers, increase of Luxury consumption in Tier 2 and Tier3 cities etc. In fact, India is not new to luxury. World looks at our country for inspiration. India is the next China for the Luxury Brands. And also, now we have a new Global phenomenon: A deeper, responsible Luxury. A new Luxury consumer is emerging; who is thinking about Social and Environmental Issues”. These consumers only use the brands which are fulfilling their social responsibilities towards a better world.

As Ritu Beri (International Fashion Designer) said that where we fail is to market ourselves- how we package ourselves and to present to the luxury customers. The luxury customer is fast evolving.

“The main challenge which we are facing is Digitalization, which is no more an option for us. We have to involve this criterion in our working.” The luxury sector must cope with the inescapable shift toward digitalization, the challenges of sustainable development. At the same time, the luxury market is different from other markets, with highly specific management.

Due to these reasons, Luxury brands face problem in catering the needs of the consumer. There is another problem which is rising in Luxury market: the luxury customer is fast evolving. The buying habits and aspirations of these new consumers are different from those of their predecessors. In addition to changes in buying practices, demand for luxury products is also evolving. Consumers still want extremely rare, expensive, and luxurious products which can be transferred to the generations. So, brands need to take care of this aspect too.

Italy is known as the luxury capital and known as the world leader in cut, style and selling the luxury. On the other side,India has an unbelievably rich heritage of luxury and stupendous craftsmanship. What we need is much more investments into our local artisan and a vision to translate our art into profitable international business. Keeping all this in mind, Mr. Lorenzo Angeloni, Italian Ambassador was also invited in the conference to share his views. He spoke about the rich Indian culture and heritage and said that Italy and Indian together can help in making Luxury grow in coming years. He also said that India just needs to present and market itself in a better way to achieve the goal of its position in the global luxury world.

Over the next year growth in India will remain strong, although the country still has challenges to overcome before it becomes a major market for luxury brands.

The conference was concluded with the last session that had a talk with the style icons and their thoughts on Indian luxury. In conversation with The CII-ET Style Icons: Gautam Kalra(Fashion Stylist), Rohit Bal (Fashion Designer) and Pernia Qureshi (Indian fashion entrepreneur).

During the sessions, we got the chance to meet and interact with various Luxury Professionals and Experts who have real experience and crystal clear knowledge about the current environment of Luxury Industry. Mr. Sanjay Kapoor, (Executive Chairman of Genesis Group) addressed theLCBS students as “The Future of Luxury”. Also, Mr. Rajesh Pratap Singh (Fashion Designer) mentioned that ‘being a part of LCBS is being in safe hands and having wonderful opportunity of mentorship of Mr. Abhay Gupta’.

Mr. Amit Dutta, MD, Quintessential congratulated us for having chosen this career which has a great demand for talent like us. Mr. Rohit Bal, well known fashion Designer was happy to pose for a picture with us- a dream come true!

 I am very thankful to Luxury Connect Business School for giving this chance to connect with all the eminent personalities of Luxury Industry and to get an exposure of this area.

Curating the Creative Interest with Luxury Connect

“The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself time to do what you want to do.”

Whenever life gives us something new there is so much excitement around. When I got selected for PG diploma in Luxury Brand Management at Luxury connect business school I got super enthusiastic and opened myself to the world of my dreams. I am passionate about all things unique and I am so glad to have found this college and be a part of it.

As I waited with bated breath to start my journey, arrived 17th August, day 1 of induction session. That morning was different than others as it was filled with a lot of new hopes and aspirations. My mind was filled with numerous thoughts about the induction session, my new classmates, new professors etc. Finally, the wait was over and arrived Mr. Abhay Gupta and Ms. Nitika Kapoor. All of us introduced each other and we talked about our interest in the luxury sector. As the discussion went on I expressed my interest in women’s apparels and they suggested me the various path I can take to achieve my goals. 

The thing I liked the most about LCBS is they really care about you. I have never seen a beautiful person like Nitika ma’am, she is very humble and always concerned about our future and I have also never met a person like Abhay sir, he has so much experience and wisdom to share with us. I have no words to describe the respect that faculty at LCBS commands. We are like one big family working together in one direction of giving talented and well-trained personnel to Luxury industry. Soon there were ice breaking games where we had a lot of fun getting to know each other better and explored our aptitude for luxury. This was followed by meeting with alumni of PGDLM course. They all are working with luxury brands in Delhi and NCR and took a lot of joy in sharing their experiences, learning and special memories at LCBS.

Induction Day two was a one of its kind experience for me. I found myself standing at the Christian Dior store at the DLF Emporio mall talking to the store manager about brand’s rich heritage and product lines. Next was Louis Vuitton, followed by Michael kors, Armani Junior and Corneliani. The practical knowledge and wisdom that one can get from the experienced people working at the luxury brands is extremely important as it will complement our learning during various modules at LCBS. It was amazing and inspiring to see  the passion and determination of every member in a luxury brand to create the romance around the luxury products that were no less than art pieces. The managers painted a picture of  nuances of an industry we were getting into. The orientation session had already proved to be better than my expectations.

On day three, we had the honor to eminent personalities from the luxury industry, Mr. Rolf Blaser, a country manager at Safilo India Pvt Ltd and Ms. Nalini Gupta Ex country manager at Burberry India. They not only shared their inspiring journey of reaching the top but also invaluable tips on how to be a good luxury brand mana

When Career and Passion Come Together!

“In order to attain Luxury, first learn how to manage it” ~ LCBS

Having completed my MBA in Media and Communication alongside with a PGDLM in Advertising & branding, I worked for a year and a half in a syndication firm, effectively included in selling of content and went about as a CRM Executive.  A research project on Burberry and my love for branding set off my enthusiasm in the Luxury Sector. After researching and going through many colleges, I settled on my decision and chose Luxury Connect Business School, the first and only Luxury Boutique School, and enrolled myself for a PGDLM in Luxury Brand Management in association with International University of Monaco. Like everyone, I had my apprehensions about enrolling in a college that started its operations in the year 2013 and was worried about the placement opportunities, but one look at the team heading the Institute, and I was convinced that I was in safe hands. The founder and CEO of the college, Mr. Abhay Gupta, is acknowledged as an industry leader by Forbes, Economic Times, CNN-IBN, NDTV, Hindustan times and Awarded as the ‘Luxury retail icon of the year 2012′ by Asia retail congress. He helped not only bring but establish luxury brands like Versace, Versace Home, Versace Collection, Corneliani, etc in India.

On the 17^th August, dressed in formals, I made my way to LCBS. To be honest, I have always enjoyed being a student and was excited to start my journey and interact with the faculty and my fellow classmates. The faculty and the staff welcomed us with utmost warmth and arranged ice-breaker sessions for us well. It was intimidating to have people standing in front of you with 25 years of experience behind them and realize that they have had worked with some of the best of the Luxury Brands, yet it was incredible to see them acting so modest and amicable. Whatever little qualms I had in my mind, soon vanished after we had a brief session with the alumni, who are successfully placed in different Industries in the Luxury Sector.

Day 2 of the induction and I find myself standing in the Dior store interacting with store manager! As a part of our Industry visit, we visited DLF Emporio and made visits to Dior, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Armani Junior and Corneliani. The college had arranged for a personal visit to these stores to get hands on experience on the extravagance luxury retail market, know the brand history, and study the store design along with the products displayed. In spite of me hailing from Bombay, it was overwhelming to interact with the store managers and get the vibe of luxury brands. No more we were the customers, but aspiring Luxury Professionals! Right from the mall entry to the whole ambience and the personnel at this Luxury Retail Mall, I was awe-struck! My favorite brand visit would be Dior, a brand that has strongly imbibed its rich culture heritage in the store design and its products. Special mention for the extremely humble and courteous manager at Dior, who made sure we were comfortable and gave us a well guided tour across the store. Oh! Did I mention that I got the chance to pose with the classic Dior bag worth Rupees 2.7 lac! ;) (Perks of the course).It was now clear to me that this Industry demands you to be passionate, creative and innovative! The right attitude and knowledge will always take you a step ahead. On the 3^rd day, we had the Industry people visit us. Mr. Rolf Blaser, the country head of Safilo, India, shared insights about the company that is the second largest manufacturer of sunglasses and frames for most of the leading fashion luxury brands. Followed by the enriching session, we had the ex-country head of Burberry, Miss Nalini Gupta guiding us through the nuances of Luxury Industry and sharing her profound experiences at Burberry.

The three days of Induction and Introduction to the course evolved me from a mere information gatherer to a knowledge absorber. I am happy to be a part of a school that is fun, interactive and promotes experiential learning alongside great exposure! All geared up to start my journey and be a part of a world beyond ordinary! Closing off with a quote from one of my favorite Luxury brand;

“The best things in life are free. The second best are expensive.” ~ Coco Chanel
