The job market you are studying into
Ahmedabad's economy is built on textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and a dense network of family-owned businesses and SMEs. Professional employment is less concentrated in large corporates than in Bangalore or Mumbai, which changes what a qualification is for: here it is more often about running or growing a business than climbing a corporate ladder.

Why professionals in Ahmedabad study online
A large share of learners here are running or joining a family business and cannot step away from it for two years. Online study lets them keep the business running while getting the formal management grounding the next generation usually lacks.
If you are joining a family business, the Entrepreneurship stream tends to be more useful than General Management - it covers financing and growth rather than corporate administration.
