Doing startup is tough, Raj used to ISA startup thing called Nova Semita for computer science students and then he pivoted for MBA but it seems traditional colleges are still better than those ISAs. Pivoting is the only way to survive if you want to continue doing startup.

RIP Stoa MBA 😂 founder-cum-content creator strikes back

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Overview: 
Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. 

What is happening:
Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. 

Why am I concerned:
I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. 

I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later.

I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. 

People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? 


Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

Will an MBA destroy your life or make it better?

Honest reviews of STOA mba

Growth Manager

I heard from someone in the industry that Stoa laid off most of the people and only 7 of them are still there, including 4 of their co founders. The Main reason was that they were not able to provide placements to the members and their experience had turn to shit . What is happening with ed tech , also the sauce is that now they are pivoting into self paced courses following the coursera model. Alternative MBA nahi chal payega India .

Stoa laid off 90 percent of their workforce

- Stoa introduces Zeus, an AI enterprise agent for organizational alignment and task automation.
- Zeus features include meeting minutes, work assignments, research, and more, accessible via email inbox.
- Stoa School, an alternative to traditional MBA courses, continues but halted new sign-ups earlier this year.
- Founders Kulkarni and Kunkolienkar have been teasing Zeus on LinkedIn, calling it a CEO's best friend and AI Chief of Staff.
- Despite multiple attempts, Inc42 couldn't get more details from Stoa; early-access applications for Zeus are open.

From MBA To GenAI: Stoa Makes Hard Pivot To Enterprise Agent ‘Zeus’

Journalist

Saw a couple ads on Instagram and their website seems cool. It seems they have a cohort based learning and I like learning by practical experience model instead of relying on outdated bookish knowledge. 

But do these “alternative MBAs” have any legitimacy according to employers? If anyone’s a graduate I wanna ask:

How was the experience? And did you land a job after getting the certificate?

Anyone here enrolled in Stoa’s MBA program?

Content Strategist

So recently stoa announced that they’re revamping their business. And for some reason everyone (other startup founders/ twitter folks) were supporting them and telling them not to get discouraged and to keep building and other shit. 

I’ve interacted with a few stoa students and they have nothing good to say about stoa. Apparently they were promised placements which no one got. 

Most of the people I know who did the stoa program, did it because they were sold the idea of getting a good consulting / founders office kinda job. The fees aren’t cheap for anyone coming from a middle class background. 

What pisses me off is why are we as a society encouraging such founders - like they sold something without being able to deliver which had a direct impact on the life of students. 

In my personal humble opinion these people need to be called out.

Founder’s office

People are just writing random posts just for the sake of it. This idea of LinkedIn Influencers is so bullshit.

Also , this is not directed towards a single individual but to the whole community.

Everything wrong with LinkedIn.

💼Are MBA Grads facing supply demand problem? Or is MBA dead?

What do you people think of Stoa for a career transition? They’re charging 2.9L for the course. Anyone who belong to the Cohort?

Any reviews on Stoa for a career transition?

To all the founders, co-founders, ceo's here does MBA as a course help you in your day to day duties ?

Does MBA help become a better founder ?

ISB and IIM blacki provides 1y mba with decent roi and alum network.

Now Stoa, Masters Union and Mesa are also challenging the stalwarts with more practical mba focused on specific areas.

What's your view on this and how it's going to evolve in near future?
