Is Doctorate for Professionals in Leadership Worth It?

I was applying from Dubai, so my first question was whether an Indian platform could help me at all. It could. College Vidya had the details on who can apply from abroad and how the Gen AI subject is taught.

Twenty years of running delivery programmes teaches you what works. It does not always teach you why. That gap is why I took the DBA, and College Vidya is where I compared my options.

Most comparisons only cover fees and duration. I also needed to know what each programme researches, because my work is in AI and engineering. College Vidya showed me that.

I run a real estate business. I could not step away for even one semester. The list College Vidya gave me only had programmes that allowed for that.

Twenty-five years across India, Europe and the UK, and I still took weeks to decide. What helped was seeing all the doctoral options together instead of checking one university at a time.

I work in risk and governance, so I do not trust comparisons that make things look too simple. This one was solid. Fees, format and recognition, all in one place.

Thirty-seven years in pharmaceutical operations, and I thought I had left this too late. The advisor at College Vidya did not treat it that way, and that changed how I looked at it.
