Sydneham College has initiated The School of Luxury Retail to bring industry–relevant cutting-edge pedagogy along with prominent brands & personalities from the world of luxury retail  to give students real life industry experience. Many luxury retail students globally find that exposure in the sector—even if it’s just an internship—can be a huge leg up when applying for qualification jobs.
Along those lines, a Bachelor degree or a Masters degree in Luxury Brand Management can lead to a variety of jobs in this sector, including roles like marketing managers, business development consultants, brand managers etc. Some international students are able to leverage their Luxury Bachelors/MBAs qualifications—often offered by European business schools—in emerging luxury markets around the world, including parts of Asia or Latin America.
Also, many students interested in breaking into the luxury sector gravitate to hubs like Paris or Milan, where many of the top firms are based; others go to New York City or London to be at the heart of the action. Many also see a great opportunity in the luxury markets of Asian nations like India/China/South Korea/Indonesia etc. Being near luxury firms can help with networking opportunities.
Hence, with more than 140 crore population in India and 2500$ per capita income; it is a noteworthy fact that when per capita income in India crosses 4000$ per capita income; middle class orientation towards spending on luxury goods reaches a different realm. As observed in China, where there is a massive spend by middle the class population on luxury goods, we foresee a similar trend emerging soon in India.
For most luxury brands hiring the right human resource will be a challenge, so a course like a Bachelor’s in Luxury Brand & Retail Management is the need of the hour and who better than a legacy college Sydenham to be a torch bearer in this earnest endeavour.
