About SDA Bocconi Asia Center, Mumbai

Official website

SDA Bocconi Asia Center is the pan-Asian hub of SDA Bocconi School of Management, the graduate business school of Universita Bocconi, Milan, Italy. Operating from Powai, Mumbai since 2012 (initially as MISB Bocconi), it brings over five decades of SDA Bocconi's management-education heritage to India. SDA Bocconi holds the 'Triple Crown' of international accreditations - AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA - placing it among a small group of business schools worldwide with all three, and is consistently ranked among the top European business schools by the Financial Times, Bloomberg Businessweek and QS. The Center's flagship program is the International Master in Business (IMB), a 22-month, MBA-equivalent postgraduate program for early-career professionals (0-5 years of experience) that combines two 11-month modules delivered in Mumbai with a mandatory 4-month international immersion at SDA Bocconi's campus in Milan, Italy. Graduates earn 105 ECTS credits and an International Master in Business qualification from SDA Bocconi. Admission is through CAT, GMAT, GRE, or NMAT by GMAC scores, or the school's own 'Bocconi Test', followed by an AI-enabled interview round and a personal interview. For working professionals, SDA Bocconi Asia Center also runs the International Executive Master in Business (IEMB), a 15-month, Executive-MBA-equivalent program (62 ECTS credits) for candidates with an average of roughly 16 years of work experience, delivered largely in-person over long weekends in Mumbai with a 2-week international immersion in Milan. Both programs feature faculty drawn substantially from SDA Bocconi Milan, corporate interaction, and access to a global Bocconi alumni network reported at 140,000+ worldwide (including 1,400+ in India). For the IMB Class of 2025, SDA Bocconi Asia Center's official Placement Report recorded a highest salary of INR 36.50 lakh per annum, an average salary of INR 14.10 lakh per annum, a median salary of INR 13.51 lakh per annum, and a top-25% average of INR 18.21 lakh per annum, with 70+ recruiters participating across BFSI, consulting, FMCG, and IT/ITES sectors. SDA Bocconi Asia Center offers up to 80% merit-based tuition waivers on the IMB and up to 30% on the IEMB, alongside need- and merit-linked awards such as the Women in Leadership and Dean's Scholarships. Because SDA Bocconi Asia Center delivers an Italian university qualification rather than a UGC/AICTE-approved Indian degree, and because most third-party rankings describe SDA Bocconi as a whole (not a Mumbai-specific rank), prospective applicants are encouraged to verify current fees, seats and accreditation scope directly with the school before applying.
