"When I first arrived in Dubai, I was a clean slate; everything felt new and different from India. Symbiosis Dubai became the platform that shaped my journey. Through the university, I secured an HR internship with Sobha Realty - a role typically reserved for experienced professionals. It was the perfect blend of academic learning and real-world exposure. The practical guidance at Symbiosis helped me contribute meaningfully from day one, and my time at Sobha gave me a front-row view of how people and culture drive the city's most ambitious organizations," Ashwin Nair, Second-Year MBA student, HR Intern at Sobha Realty.

The program is designed to help professionals apply what they learn in real-time, creating a seamless bridge between the classroom and career. Many of our students continue to work alongside their studies, so there's no transition gap - they grow as they learn, and learn as they grow."
Reflecting Dubai's entrepreneurial spirit, students are not only finding success in organizations but also creating their own. Two members of the MBA Class of 2025 have launched a boutique marketing and design agency, leveraging their classroom insights to create a live business venture, an example of how the program nurtures curiosity, confidence, and the courage to lead from the front.
