Hope I answer your question and it's helpful.
All the best!
The scopes are high, also practices and case studies you might have learned in MBA will nurture your career. ( It is no secret that some firms look for MBA degree when selecting a candidate). However, it is not mandatory to have MBA for doing digital marketing I would say. Most successful digital marketers have been chiseled and forged in experience. Even with MBA, reaching this level would be difficult and it will take its time fro a newbie to find his way around.
In short: The scopes are high, and with 45 years experience, you can even expect a salary ranging from 5-13 LPA.
I hope it will help you
Good luck
