Majors in Luxury Marketing & Minors in Entrepreneurship
There is a need for an undergraduate course in luxury branding & retail management in India.
From Armani to Versace and Ralph Lauren, luxury brands accounted for over $350 billion in 2024 alone, according to Forbes, – and that’s not even including the luxury auto market. With surging demand from the emerging middle-class population in countries like India and China, the total luxury market will reach $ 1.65 trillion. Even after the global Covid pandemic, the appetite for luxury products remains large, on the contrary, it is growing at a very fast pace, with many adopting a YOLO (You Only Live Once) mindset towards life.
Although few schools offer specialized MBA programs in luxury management, others offer more general programs in related fields like fashion or retail.
This maiden program of Bachelor’s in Luxury Brand & Retail Management covers a variety of topics, from marketing to customer relationships, HR to digital media and even finance. The course will be conducted by Sydenham College of Commerce & Economics, situated in the south of Mumbai, India’s richest geography. The college will offer this four year undergraduate degree course under the domain of India’s first state cluster University, Dr. Homi Bhabha State University.
“Study Past & Present of Globally Acclaimed brands ……”
structure of program
The global luxury market is witnessing exceptional growth due to the rise in consumption of luxury products and services. This has led to the remarkable development of luxury retail sectors, thereby creating demand for skilled
professionals. As India has established itself as a global luxury destination, prominent international luxury brands
are excited to enter the rapidly growing Indian market. Keeping this in mind, Sydenham College of Commerce and
Economics, in collaboration with The School of Luxury Retail, has launched a new course titled “Bachelor in Luxury Brand and Retail Management” for the academic year 2024-2025.
The program is designed as per the National Education Policy 2020 and will provide a deeper insight into luxury
markets and share horizons of knowledge in the business context of various international luxury markets. By
studying the business models and best practices of the luxury market, participants will strengthen their
understanding of management competencies in the luxury industry. The industry-centric curriculum and real-life
projects will give students a comprehensive grasp of developed luxury markets and evolving markets, both
nationally and internationally.
