New Delhi [India], August 5: Pearl Academy School of Business (PSB) has partnered with INSEAD XR Lab, one of the world's leading centres in immersive educational technology, to introduce immersive XR simulation-based learning, positioning PSB among the first institutions in India to integrate Extended Reality (XR) into business and management education.
This pioneering initiative reflects PSB's core focus on future-forward learning, global collaboration, and innovation-led pedagogy. The XR Simulation Workshop marked a transformational moment for business education at PSB, where real-world case studies met multi-sensory immersive experiences to redefine classroom learning.
The workshop featured two cutting-edge simulations--The Avocado Case, centred on strategic decision-making, and Mission to Mars, which focused on enhancing critical thinking and collaboration. Donning VR headsets, students were transported to high-impact environments, from the sun-drenched shores of Zanzibar to the mission control centres of Mars. These simulations brought business scenarios to life, challenging students to make real-time decisions in dynamic, high-stakes contexts.
"At PSB, we are not just adapting to change--we are leading it. Our collaboration with INSEAD XR brings a bold, immersive layer to business learning--helping our students build decision-making skills, emotional intelligence, and agility in a controlled but real-world-like environment," said Amod Vijayvargiya, Director, Pearl Academy School of Business.
Rooted in a legacy of innovation and built on pillars like creative leadership, founder's mindset, industry immersion, and life skills, PSB continues to push boundaries. With this partnership, Pearl Academy School of Business is delivering education that is experiential, global, and purpose-driven--shaping business leaders who are ready for the complexities of tomorrow's world.
Following the success of the pilot, PSB plans to formally integrate immersive XR simulations into the MBA curriculum from the upcoming semester, providing students with a learning experience that is both relevant and radical.
