The MUEBL Story

The curtains to this exclusive B-School were raised in the year 2020. Started with the sole aim of providing unparalleled business education to the young leaders of the country, Masters’ Union wanted to lay the foundation of its ground-breaking 16-month intensive Post Graduate Programme in Technology and Business Management (PGP-TBM). But to unveil something this precious and unique called for a grand celebration with an engagement program that would help spread the word to MBA aspirants around the country and beyond. 

With an idea and vision in mind, Masters’ Union approached Unstop (formerly Dare2Compete)and in no time, the team sat down to work. A challenge had to be conceptualized that would not only bring together MBA aspirants on a common platform but would also give them an idea about how the one-of-a-kind business program launched by Masters’ Union would run. And this was when Masters' Union Emerging Business Leaders 2020 saw the light of the day.
