Warm reagrds,

Dear Aspirant,

Nice to know the inclination of your brother to join the family business.

I would suggest a solid qualification like MBA before he ventures into the family business. After BCom, he should do an MBA in General Management from a reputed Institute like MDI Gurgaon, Amity University, etc.

For learning the family business aspects theoretically, I would suggest a short diploma in entrepreneurship / family business.

Best wishes!

Thanks for raising question to guide your brother's career at www.CareerGuide.com!

He scored well in the 12th Standard and he is much interested to join family business. As you mentioned, he has enrolled for B Com from DU. So you question is what course, along with BCom can benifit him?

I assume that family has established business and your brother will contribute to the business while studying BCom part time.

Well, considering the education context and already established family business, I would recommend your brother to consider short term courses on entrepreneurship/family business from EDII, Ahmedabad or Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, or Kolkata.

I would not recommend to do any other full time courses in business management. Your brother can start contributing to family business and gain some conceptual, managerial guidance through short-term, experiential courses from reputed institutions.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have doubts, feel free to write back or talk to me. I would be happy to interact with you.

Best luck for your brother's bright career!

Best Wishes, Apurvakumar
