Dear Hari,

Hope your doing well. Nice question.

I did not have any instances or remembrance which remind me that E commerce + MBA will not be a good profile. In addition to that I would like to say that anything can go with MBA. Even Doctors do MBA. I wouold rather say that it will be helpful during your MBA that you have some work experiecne in the background of E Commerce. E commerce is really booming in Inida as we all know. If you combine your work experience with MBA it is only going to strengthen your profile.

Let me give you the exposures that you can get with MBA.

Job and Career options Website Developer

Candidates having prior technical knowledge are best suited for this job. Knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Magneto etc are pre-requisites. Website development, Design, and layout, Front-end/Backend developers, web analyst are the major roles played.

Being an innovative and creative job, it requires the job-holder to keep up with the changes in web-design, security, and maintenance. With a growth rate of around 15-25 %, the expected salary can be anywhere around Rs 25,000-40,000/month. Though, many professional web developers earn up to six figures.

E-Commerce consultant

Consultants provide guidance to business owners who want to sell their product and services or promote their business online. Even established businesses hire them to increase current sales and layout business plans.

A consultant can work with a company or offer his services as a freelancer. The salary differs according to the experience in the field.

Advertising and Promotion Manager

They provide/create opportunities for potential growth through the internet as a medium. Promotion campaigns and digital marketing are key roles of this job. Other jobs include working on media budget and contracts, marketing plans, selecting of advertising media etc.

Businesses hire such personnel to create lucrative/attractive advertisements for potential clients.  Other than online business, ad agencies are also key recruiters of such professionals.

Salaries offered are quite appealing, ranging between Rs 5-7 lacs.

Supply Chain Manager

A manager coordinates with all aspects of logistics which involves planning and strategy, the source of materials, manufacturing, delivery, and logistics and return. The major responsibilities are preparing chain models, review supply chain practices, minimizing shortages and keeping costs down.

It is not a regular hour office desk job and involves outdoor work. The remuneration ranges between Rs 4-10 lacs depending upon the experience and scale of business.

Online Store Owner

A person with a degree in e-commerce can open an online store, selling goods or services through their own commercial website.

An entrepreneur venture may require marketing skills, customer service, creativity, risk-taking ability etc because the graduates are aware of business strategies and techniques it is easier for them to understand business administration.

The income earned may vary depending on various factors like type and range of products, marketing, and promotion, competitiveness, industry demands etc.

Hello Krishna

Well depending upon your course structure, it may be a Yes or No.

If your MBA-Ecommerce primarily makes you a business administration + gives you specific industry knowledge it is good. But if it limits your business management skills to E-commerce only, and in worst case jumps into details of digital marketing branches (eg. seo, ppc) it is a bad course structure.


I'm sure MBA-Courier, MBA-Dairy, or MBA-Shoes Manufacturing won't sound like good ideas to you.


If you ask me, MBA with dual specialization that have e-commerce as an option as well, would work for you.)


For eg.


MBA-FINANCE+ECOM


MBA-MARKETING+ECOMMERCE


Ps: but still use your brain. whatever your heart feels good about, will work for you
