Shiksha Top Questions

We need managers who genuinely understand markets, their relationship to the public sector, and the philosophical, cultural, and social meanings of business growing global influence. We need leaders who fully grasp that markets, while highly efficient, are not fair, kind, or wise. The current market price, while efficient, is not essentially just it can, in fact, be rather cruel. For example, when a large retail chain comes to a town, pushing small businesses to close. We need leaders who are ready to face the trials of growing income inequality, unemployment, environmental influence, and cultural homogenization that modern business practices do not yet appropriately address.
That's why India needs more, not less, business knowledge. It depends on it.
So, the answer to this question is no.

While acquiring a certification can have a significant effect on your career trajectory, it is a process that requires a considerable outlay of time and money. Door individuals in the early stages of their career, it can be difficult to make an informed choice. To help this decision easier, I'd suggest a set of certifications which are in fact worth pursuing. Whatever certification you choose, you should first make sure it is as widely recognised as possible.
