The GFMB program is an innovative 12-month certificate program designed to equip young family business owners and entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills and tools to address the challenges specific to their own family businesses.

You will get the opportunity to study in three dynamic business hubs of Mumbai, Dubai and Singapore. This tri-city experience provides unique exposure to multinational business environments and cultures.

A traditional master's degree is ideal for those aspiring to join the corporate sector. SP Jain’s GFMB program recognises that family businesses have unique challenges and is tailor-made to not only secure the entrepreneurial journey of the students but also enable them to achieve exponential growth in their business.

Since India is a signatory to WTO (Free Trade), Indian businesses face challenges from global players on one hand and have the opportunity to tap markets across the globe on the other. Understanding the global business environment is, thus, key to business success.

Global intelligence is a unique outcome of the GFMB program as participants have the chance to study in the world’s top business hubs, gain unique exposure to multinational business environments and cultures. They get multiple opportunities to study international business practices, network with business owners and community leaders, and use global strategies to reimagine their family business.

While the type of business may vary, the fundamentals of the business remain constant. Besides, students are required to not only work on practical assignments within the context of their family businesses but also develop a business plan which is an integral and mandatory part of the program.

The GFMB program is designed for young family business owners and leaders. It emphasises holistic development involving all aspects of a family business so that you can effectively engage with experts in all fields and accomplish your goals.
