ABSTRACT The fast digitalization of the business spaces has dramatically affected the abilities of the contemporary workforce, with more focus on the future development of skills and competencies being transferred to digital business education. The current research paper is going to analyze how digital business education can promote future skills and competencies in students in institutions of higher learning in Tamil Nadu. The research design will be descriptive and analytical, and both secondary and primary data will be used in the study. Primary data were gathered using a structured questionnaire that was distributed to the students and faculty members who are linked to the digital business-related programmes. The secondary data were derived through the scholarly journals, policy documents, and government reports. The data were analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics and inferential analysis. The results indicate that digital literacy, data analytics, critical thinking, ability to solve problems, and adaptability are considered such essential future skills of digital business professionals. The study also reveals a considerable positive association amid the digital business education practices and future development of skills. Nevertheless, the limitations to industry exposure, insufficient practical training, and faculty preparedness in high-level digital tools were mentioned as the significant limitations to efficiency in competency development. The paper will conclude that although digital business education in Tamil Nadu plays an important role in the future skills development, industry integration, modernizing the curriculum, and training faculty are important to improve the outcome of competency. The results can be useful to the policy makers, schools, and curriculum developers in ensuring that digital education of business is kept abreast with the changing needs of the digital economy.
