I completed my MBA in European Management (Nov 2020 - Jun 2022) at EIABM, Saarland University. It blends solid management foundations with innovative topics combined with behavioural insights; my thesis covered cross-border e-commerce trends and challenges in Europe. The program’s blend of theory and practice strengthened my strategy, finance and analysis skills, bridging my engineering background to dynamic business roles.

The global atmosphere was immediate – diverse classmates, top international professors, and Europe-wide case studies created a true multicultural classroom feel. I valued the European market focus, cross-cultural modules, and multinational team projects. It broadened my outlook and built strong skills for navigating cultural differences in cross-border projects.

Saarland University excels in innovation and research, with its calm, border-location near France and Luxembourg adding a natural multicultural touch. Modern facilities, great international student support (scholarships, careers), and affordable Saarbrücken living stand out. I’d recommend it to prospective students for its solid business/tech reputation, practical European emphasis, and balanced academics in a peaceful, high-quality environment – ideal for real-world skills and networks without big-city stress.

This experience led me to found a new energy startup in India, named Ecoplex. We are working on developing clean energy products using innovative technologies in BESS, IoT, and e-mobility.
