New Delhi, Delhi, India | 8th August 2025: Pearl Academy School of Business (PSB) has joined forces with INSEAD XR Lab, a global leader in immersive educational technology, to launch XR simulation-based learning in business and management education. This makes PSB one of the first institutions in India to fully integrate Extended Reality (XR) into its curriculum, setting a new benchmark for experiential learning.
This groundbreaking partnership aligns with PSB’s mission to deliver future-ready, innovation-driven education through global collaborations and cutting-edge pedagogy. The XR Simulation Workshop served as a milestone moment—merging real-world business case studies with multi-sensory immersive experiences to transform classroom engagement.
Immersive Business Simulations for Real-World Impact
The workshop featured two advanced simulations:
- The Avocado Case – focused on strategic decision-making.
- Mission to Mars – designed to build critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.
Wearing VR headsets, students navigated high-pressure environments—from the tropical coasts of Zanzibar to the mission control hubs of Mars—making rapid decisions in dynamic, high-stakes scenarios.
A New Era of Business Education in India
“At PSB, we are not just adapting to change—we are leading it,” said Amod Vijayvargiya, Director, Pearl Academy School of Business. “Our collaboration with INSEAD XR adds an immersive dimension to business learning, enabling students to develop decision-making skills, emotional intelligence, and agility in a realistic yet controlled setting.”
Built on pillars such as creative leadership, a founder’s mindset, industry immersion, and essential life skills, PSB is pushing the boundaries of business education. With this partnership, the institution is equipping students to excel in the complex global business landscape.
Integration into MBA Curriculum
Following the pilot program’s success, PSB will formally embed immersive XR simulations into its MBA curriculum starting next semester—offering a learning experience that is both relevant and radical.
With campuses in Delhi South, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, Pearl Academy School of Business is emerging as a trailblazer in creative, technology-enabled business education, empowering future leaders to think like founders and lead like visionaries.
