The AI wave is here. This school is built for it.
Every business role - marketing, finance, operations, strategy - is being reshaped by AI. The professionals who thrive won't be the ones who studied AI as a subject. They'll be the ones who used it, every day, from Day 1.
Stride exists so that a business student graduates faster, more future-proof, and more effective than any traditional program can produce. Not by becoming technical. By becoming the person who knows how to put AI to work.
Two things are true at the same time.
Every entry-level business role is being reshaped by AI.
Business used to hire fresh graduates for execution - research, analysis, reports, coordination. AI does all of that now, faster and cheaper. The value a fresh graduate needs to bring has fundamentally changed. Most degrees weren't built for that.
Business school curricula were built for a world that no longer exists.
Frameworks. Case studies. Semester exams. Three years of studying business without doing any of it. The tell? The first thing everyone suggests after a BBA is an MBA. Not because the degree is wrong - because somewhere, everyone knows it didn't make you ready.
A programme designed for the world that graduates are actually entering.
Vision
To become the defining institution for AI-native business education in India.
Mission
To develop India's most future-proof business graduates: professionals who can use AI to create real business value, and prove it before they leave campus.
These aren't values on a wall.
They're the decisions that shaped every part of the program.
Proof Over Paper
At Stride, you don't study business. You do it. Run campaigns, work with real clients, build ventures that earn real revenue. By graduation, you have a portfolio of live work that proves what you can do, not just a degree that says where you went.
AI as Operating System
AI isn't just a subject at Stride. It's how you learn everything. Assignments, projects, research, presentations. In your first semester, you use AI to analyse a real listed company's business, the kind of work that takes a traditional team weeks.
Speed is the Skill
A competitor analysis that takes a traditional hire 3 days? You're trained to do it in 30 minutes. In a world where everyone has access to the same tools, the person who moves fastest wins.
Earned, Not Entitled
Nothing at Stride is given. It's earned. Every seat, every grade, every opportunity. That's not a policy. That's the culture.
The People Behind Stride
After building and scaling a higher education company to 20,000+ students, Piyush started Stride because the curriculum most business schools teach was built for a world that no longer exists.
He built Vedam first, rethinking how computer science is taught. Then he saw the same gap in management education: AI is reshaping every career, but the classroom hasn't caught up. The management graduate the industry needs today can work with AI, interpret data, and make decisions at speed. That graduate simply isn't being produced by the current system. Stride is his answer: a business school rebuilt from scratch for the AI era.
After embedding AI into how real business teams worked and watching it transform their output, Anmol built Stride to bring that same fluency to undergraduates before they enter the workforce.
He spent nearly a decade leading Product and AI for a higher education company serving 20,000+ students. He built the learning systems, then reshaped how the company's own business teams analysed, decided, and delivered using AI. Teams that made the shift consistently outperformed those that didn't. Stride's curriculum is designed by someone who has already led this transformation and seen what happens when it works.
Built by the team that trained
20,000 students across India.
For 7 years, the founding team ran a higher education company that trained and placed over 20,000 students across India. The campus partnerships, hiring networks, and academic systems they built are Stride's foundation. This isn't an experiment - it's a proven playbook, rebuilt for the AI era.
