• If you want to work in India or South Asia, and if you value strong academic rigor and a network in the Indian business ecosystem, IIM Ahmedabad is likely the better option.
• If you seek a global career, prefer a shorter and more flexible program, and are interested in working in Europe, Latin America, or multinational corporations with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation, then IE University may be the better choice.

EADA Business School is generally cheaper than IE University, especially for MBA and Master's programs. If cost is a significant factor in your decision, EADA offers a more affordable option while still maintaining a good reputation for business education.

However, if you're looking for a broader, more prestigious global network with higher-ranked programs, especially in entrepreneurship, technology, or international business, IE University may be worth the additional investment.
