Entrepreneur I Rahul Dasgupta

My Entrepreneurial Footsteps

As a second generation entrepreneur, Rahul has played an instrumental role in helping Globsyn Business School become the No. 1 Business School in Eastern India, if not nationally, with 3500+ alumni globally. His entrepreneurial acumen can be roughly captured under the following verticals.

Revolutionizing Education

Under Rahul’s leadership, the B-School has forged many global partnerships, integrating various academic practices and high-end technologies into its delivery through these collaborations. GBS has stayed relevant as a specialized postgraduate education system, remaining ahead of the growth curve in terms of learning and development for the youngsters, with appropriate use of technology, pertinent to the needs of the time…

This can be credited to Rahul’s business acumen and leadership skills – he helped the B-School become profitable through his disruptive strategies and sustainable models that impacted the people, the process, and the profit formula.

Impacting the Youth

Rahul spearheaded Globsyn’s vocational training initiatives, in partnership with the National Skills Development Council, and was instrumental in setting up Globsyn’s Skills Development ecosystem with 500 centers across 21 states in the country within a span of 2 years, after starting with only a handful of centers in West Bengal. During his tenure Globsyn Skills had the highest pass percentage nationally across all sectors, compared to other…

competitors. Globsyn impacted and trained nearly 1,00,000 youth across 11 high-growth sectors. As an avid technophile, Rahul also drives the operations of Globsyn Finishing School (GFS), which has trained over 1,95,000 engineering students through the years in various emerging technology tracks like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, Internet of Things, Blockchain, Robotic Process Automation, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Augmented Reality among others. GFS annually trains nearly 5,000 engineering graduates from 350+ colleges across India to equip them with the necessary skills to join the Indian IT industry.

Technology Innovation

Rahul is the chief architect behind the digitalization of Globsyn’s academic initiatives – from a ‘Brick Model’ to a ‘Click Model’ – across all organizational verticals. Under Rahul’s stimulating leadership, GBS has launched GBS Online – a global platform of digital learning, to create a community of like-minded learners around the world who are able to gain access to online learning resources and complete coursework at their own time, while…

completing assignments of international standards. GBS Online has already enabled nearly 40,000 minds globally in a short span of time, where students across the world can pursue courses of their choice at an affordable cost. Rahul’s team plans to digitize the entire curriculum of GBS by integrating AR and 3D videos with traditional techniques to make the B-School’s Hybrid Delivery Model more immersive and self-paced. Rahul also led the B-School’s transition from issuing physical diplomas to one which is digitized. He has also been instrumental in motivating the faculty to adopt technology as the new medium of imparting knowledge and launched an eLibrary as a part of the B-School’s LMS platform – eGlobsyn. All these transitions were initiated much ahead of the pandemic, which helped GBS adapt to the ‘New Normal’ much faster than many of its contemporaries nationally and globally.
