Hello Amit Kumar,

As a working professional managing operations and maintenance of EV charging stations, both programs - the Online MBA in Operations Management or the PGDM in Energy Management from Symbiosis - can be valuable, but the most appropriate choice will depend on your long term career goals.

  1. The Online MBA in Operations Management would build on your foundational knowledge base in process optimization, logistics and strategic operations which is core to expanding the EV sector infrastructure and optimizing your maintenance workflows.
  2. While the PGDM in Energy Management from Symbiosis is narrower in focus and leads more deeply into the energy sector, it provides an advantage, particularly for someone wanting to take a stronger focus on sustainability, energy policy and the power sector dynamics that influence these areas.

If you hope to become a strategic leader in the EV and energy sectors, the PGDM in Energy Management fits more closely with this purpose. If you hope to assume broader leadership roles in diverse industries, then an MBA in Operations gives you broader flexibility.

Hello Amit,

Both options are good, but the best choice depends on your career goals:

1. Online MBA in Operations Management
– Good if you want to grow in general operations, maintenance, and management roles.
– Useful if you plan to switch industries later.
– Helps you move into leadership roles in operations.

2. PGDM in Energy Management (Symbiosis)
– Good if you want to stay in the energy sector (like EV charging, power, etc.).
– Gives you specialised knowledge in energy systems and management.
– Helpful for roles in energy planning, policy, and sustainability.

Conclusion:

  • Choose MBA in Operations if you want broader career options.

  • Choose PGDM in Energy if you want to grow in the energy sector only.

Hope it helps !

Hey Amit,

Thanks for reaching out!

since you're already working as an engineer in operations and maintenance for EV charging sessions, both programs can help you boost your career but the  best choice depends on your long term goals.

If you want to grow into leadership roles,manage larger teams ,or move into general operations or plant management across industries then the Online MBA in operation management is a great fit. It's flexible, practical and helps you build strong management skills.

But if you are passionate about the energy sector especially electric vehicles, renewable and sustainability then the PGDM in Energy management from Symbiosis is more specialized it gives you deep knowledge of the energy domain and can open doors to strategic roles, energy consulting etc. in the fast- growing industry.

Choose MBA for broader options and leadership roles

Choose PGDM to get specialized in energy/ev sector

Right path leads to real growth!
