Cash Course: Gurugram B-School Lets MBA Students Trade with ₹40 Lakh Real Money

 

Masters' Union, the best business school in Gurugram, has made news by launching the nation's first-ever student-managed trading fund, putting Rs 40 lakh of real capital in the hands of its MBA students. This daring initiative is a part of the new Postgraduate Programme in Capital Markets & Trading (PGP-CMT), which will roll out from August 2025.

 

Key Highlights:

 

•⁠  ⁠The Rs 40 lakh fund, drawn from the Masters' Union Investment Fund (MUIF), will enable students to directly trade on eight asset classes including equities, derivatives, fixed income, commodities, currencies, and regulated digital assets.

 

•⁠  ⁠It is purely a training program and is run under the direction of formal academics to ensure compliance and risk management.

 

•⁠  ⁠They will be guided by experienced industry experts like high-frequency traders, hedge fund managers, and portfolio strategists like Sanjiv Bhasin and Siddhartha Rastogi.

 

•⁠  ⁠The hands-on nature of this education is intended to plug the gap in India's trade education, with practical exposure to equip graduates for careers in investment banking, portfolio management, and high-frequency trading.

 

Prospects: Masters' Union's pioneering model will become the new gold standard for applied finance education in India, empowering the next generation of finance leaders with unparalleled market exposure and business mentorship.
