Digital Scholar Gains Global Momentum with Its AI-Powered MBA in Digital Marketing
Ranked among the best MBA in the world for digital marketing, India's Digital Scholar is rapidly making waves across borders with its Global MBA in Digital Marketing, tailored for a post-AI workforce. Designed for the next generation of marketers and entrepreneurs, this program is already enrolling learners from over 12 countries and producing industry-ready graduates with both global credentials and real-world execution skills. Blending deep academic learning with AI-powered campaign execution, Digital Scholar's Global MBA is accredited by Woolf University (Europe) and stands out for offering a rare mix of strategic thinking, performance marketing, and automation. What sets it apart from other global MBA programs is its focus on hands-on marketing, where students run live campaigns, manage ₹20 lakhs in ad spend, and build an international portfolio — all while earning a globally recognized MBA. A Business School Built for the Digital Era Digital Scholar's program is attracting attention not just in India, but also among professionals in Canada, the UAE, and Southeast Asia — many of whom had previously searched for the best business schools in the world only to find traditional MBAs lacking in digital skill depth. This one-year, full-time curriculum is available both offline and as a Global Online MBA, making it accessible to students regardless of geography. What makes this program world-class is not just the content, but who teaches it. Students learn directly from ex-IIT/IIM experts, media buyers, brand strategists, and agency founders — all of whom bring real campaign experience into the classroom. According to Sorav Jain, Founder of Digital Scholar, 'We built this MBA for the marketers of tomorrow — people who need to think creatively, analyze data, and automate campaigns using AI. Our graduates don't just understand marketing theory; they execute at the highest level.' From Digital Marketing Classes to a Global MBA Platform Digital Scholar initially rose to popularity through its 4-month digital marketing course s and agency-based digital marketing classes in Chennai. With over 100,000 students trained and 800+ successfully placed, the institute quickly scaled to meet global demand — transforming its format into a full-fledged, internationally recognized MBA in Digital Marketing. Graduates earn a dual certification — one from Woolf University, and one from Digital Scholar — with PhD eligibility in over 50 countries. Learners also walk away with a digital marketing certificate backed by live internship experience and a complete personal brand portfolio. Future-Focused, Flexible, and Global Whether you're a recent graduate or a working professional looking for a career pivot, Digital Scholar's MBA adapts to your needs. It's one of the few global MBA programs where students can choose between immersive offline experiences in India or the global online MBA route — both with access to mentorship, live projects, and weekly evaluations. The program covers: Business strategy, marketing funnels, and ad performance AI tools, automation workflows, and prompt engineering Social media strategy, content marketing, and analytics Live internships with real brands in India and abroad Setting New Standards in MBA Education Digital Scholar's rise as one of the best MBA in the world in the digital marketing niche reflects a broader shift: top learners today aren't just chasing Ivy League brands — they're choosing outcome-driven, globally accredited MBAs that teach them how to thrive in AI-driven industries. With growing recognition, alumni placements, and an evolving curriculum, Digital Scholar is not just part of the education revolution — it's leading it.

Coal company wins $142.8-million from Alberta government over policy flip-flop
A coal company that was suing Alberta as part of a $16-billion lawsuit has reached a $142.8-million settlement over the government's flip-flop on coal policy. Atrum Coal Ltd. has agreed to drop its lawsuit and surrender its coal leases back to the government in exchange for the cash, according to a notice on the company's website. The province paid Atrum $136.8-million earlier this month, but will retain $6-million of the full settlement amount until reclamation works on the site are complete. Atrum said in the notice it would distribute the proceeds of the settlement to its shareholders, minus obligations such as taxes, director compensation, legal fees and amounts needed to cover reclamation works. Details of those amounts and timelines will be released at a later date. The company is one of two that have reached settlements with the province. The other is Evolve Power Ltd. (formerly Montem Resources Ltd.), though it has not yet posted details on its deal with the province. The Alberta government has not yet answered questions from The Globe and Mail about the Atrum settlement. Alberta regulator approves controversial coal exploration applications at Grassy Mountain At the heart of the lawsuits was a series of changes made to provincial coal policy by the United Conservative Party government. In 2020, it nixed land protection rules that dated back to 1976, prompting a furious public backlash that forced the government to reverse its decision the following year. The government then cancelled leases earmarked for potential new mines and declared an indefinite moratorium on coal exploration. In January this year, the Alberta government scrapped the series of ministerial orders that banned coal development in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, returning to an older policy that in part relies on land categories to govern where mines are built. Companies that had already spent millions developing mine plans moved to recoup some of those costs by suing the province. The result was two lawsuits: one filed in 2023, the other in 2024. The first suit was a joint case involving four separate submissions to Alberta's Court of King's Bench by Evolve, Atrum and its subsidiary Elan Coal Ltd., Cabin Ridge Project Ltd. and Black Eagle Mining Corp. All were pursuing mines for metallurgical coal, which is used for making steel. The other suit was filed in June, 2024, by Northback Holdings Corp. It argued that the joint federal-provincial review of its proposed Grassy Mountain mine in the Crowsnest Pass was flawed and that dozens of provincial officials acted in bad faith when they 'consistently assured Northback that the Grassy Mountain Project would be subject to a fair and transparent regulatory process.'

Publisher McGraw Hill says it has raised $415-million in its U.S. initial public offering
U.S. publisher McGraw Hill, backed by investment firm Platinum Equity, said on Wednesday it had raised US$414.63-million in its initial public offering in the United States. The company sold 24,390,000 shares, priced at US$17 each, below its marketed range of US$19 to US$22. The offering valued McGraw at US$3.25-billion. The IPO market is gaining momentum on the back of a rally in equities and some stellar debuts in recent months. Private equity sponsors, who have been sitting on a massive backlog of portfolio companies waiting to go public, are looking to capitalize on this window. McGraw Hill will debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, nearly 13 years after it was taken private by Apollo . The private-equity giant had also attempted to re-list the company in 2015.
