The global pandemic of COVID-19 has changed the entire learning system and has made it imperative to adapt to (e-learning) online methods of learning which is presumably the future of academics. Although it did feel a bit challenging in the initial stage to get acclimated to online learning due to being accustomed to physical classroom learning, experienced throughout the past academic journey. However, Kudos to Westford that managed it extremely well. They were all prepared & they immediately & smoothly transitioned our classes to an online learning platform which saved a lot of student’s time from missing out on lectures as compared to other universities. The online MBA program through virtual classrooms provided a learning platform that offered the flexibility to attend classes at my convenience from wherever I wanted while circumventing the need to be physically present on my university campus to attend lectures. In addition to that, the online recorded lectures provided the opportunity to avoid missing out on any important information or takeaways from any sessions.

I love the support provided by the entire management at Westford to their students. These include admin staff, coordinators, professors & all other management staff. The professors and coordinators are extremely supportive & are always available to address any challenges faced by their students.

The MBA program helped me to understand the role & responsibilities of management in achieving the objectives and goals of the organization, which in turn helped me in identifying the objectives and goals of my organization and their expectations of me and thereby working accordingly to accomplish them. This helped me to get better opportunities in my organization and be part of key projects that I was not part of earlier. Another extremely crucial key takeaway through the MBA program was, to develop strategic thinking which helped me to strategize efficiently and thereby helped to improve my performance tremendously and achieve optimum results.

I look forward to pursuing professional qualifications relevant to my area of operation & expertise to upskill my abilities and gain more knowledge.

To work with reputed financial organizations that provide opportunities for career growth & global exposure. I aspire to keep progressing & be successful in my areas of interest and the work that I do.
