Gurugram, August
2025 : After
delivering standout outcomes in its first placement season, HiveSchool, India’s only specialised Sales B-School, has announced a bold goal: to
be among India’s Top 20 B-Schools by the year 2030.
In its inaugural year,
HiveSchool reported an average CTC of ₹14.76 LPA, with the highest
package touching ₹30 LPA (Annual Placement Report 2024-2025). A total of 33 students received 38
offers, with over 70% of roles coming from US-facing B2B startups. These
included early-stage companies backed by leading VCs, hiring for high-impact
roles in sales, GTM, and account management.
With a placement
performance that outpaced many Tier-2 MBA colleges and Mini IIMs, HiveSchool
has now set its sights on building India’s most outcome-driven B-School
experience, one that blends academic rigour with real-world execution.
“We’re not building a
B-School to compete on brochures or rankings,” said Nikhil Gaur, Founder of
HiveSchool. “We’re building one that gives students the highest ROI on their
time and trust. If we can consistently deliver outcomes like this, we believe
HiveSchool will belong in India’s Top 20 by 2030.” To fuel this vision,
HiveSchool is now scaling its full-time, fully offline Postgraduate Program in
Sales, Technology, and Entrepreneurship — a 9-month intensive program based in
Gurugram.
Unlike traditional
MBAs, HiveSchool’s program is grounded in real business challenges, with
students working on live simulations, weekly founder-led sessions, and
role-specific sprints. The goal is simple: to create a pipeline of sales and
GTM talent that’s job-ready from day one.
The offline PGP cohort
will mark the next chapter in HiveSchool’s evolution — combining the school’s
proven curriculum with a more immersive, peer-driven learning experience.
“The online model
helped us prove the value of our program,” said Gaur. “But moving offline
allows us to raise the bar — in learning, culture, and placement support. The
kind of ambition we’re chasing needs students and founders under the same
roof.”
Beyond MBA Norms, the
HiveSchool Model focuses on 3 pillars:
- Curriculum Designed by Practitioners: Modules include
founder-led sales, sales ops, full-funnel GTM, RevTech, and more. - Mentorship by Startup Leaders: Students are mentored by
operators from companies like Linkedin, MakeMyTrip and Zomato. - Outcome-Driven Placements: Roles offered span
Account Executive, Founder’s Office, and Revenue Analyst functions at
fast-scaling startups.
HiveSchool’s students
typically work directly with founders, CROs, or GTM heads, giving them
unmatched exposure in early-stage environments.
The school is also
expanding its partner network, working closely with VCs, syndicates, and
founders to fund and support talent from underrepresented backgrounds.
HiveSchool’s model was
always grounded in real-world learning, but a pivotal shift followed its
appearance on Shark Tank India. During the episode, Aman Gupta,
Co-founder of boAt, advised the founders to move offline, enabling more
structured, immersive learning. The team didn’t wait. Even before the episode
aired, HiveSchool had already launched its offline campus in Gurgaon.
What’s Next?
With admissions now open for its first offline PGP
cohort, HiveSchool is doubling down on its core belief: that business education
in India must evolve!
“Top 20 for us isn’t
just about rankings. It’s about relevance,” said Nikhil. “If we can
consistently deliver top-quality, job-ready talent that drives revenue from Day
1, the rankings will eventually become a by-product.”
