In 2026, artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept — it is the operating system of modern business.
At Maharaja Agrasen Business School (MABS), we believe that future leaders cannot learn AI only through textbooks. They must experience it where innovation actually happens — on industry platforms, live stages, and in conversations with practitioners.
That belief came alive when MABS students, along with faculty mentors, attended the AI Impact Summit 2026 — one of the most influential gatherings of AI founders, policymakers, enterprise leaders, and technologists.
This wasn’t just an academic visit.
It was a strategic immersion into the future of business.
Why MABS Sends Students to AI Summits
Most business schools discuss AI in classrooms.
MABS ensures students witness how AI is:
- Reshaping enterprise decision-making
- Transforming marketing automation
- Redefining finance and risk analytics
- Driving predictive business intelligence
- Automating operational efficiency
Our PGDM program is built on practice-driven, tech-infused education, and industry exposure like the AI Impact Summit bridges the gap between curriculum and corporate reality.
