Dear Recruiters,
Todays dynamic business environment is competitive, far reaching, devoid of boundaries and incessantly
amalgamating the worlds economies. Moreover, the shadow of recession is still lingering in the developed and
the developing economies of the world. To survive in this intense and uncertain times each of the players old
and new needs to protect its territory or create new ones.
To endure and ourish in this environment it is imperative for executives to incessantly update their knowledge
and awareness and to acquire new skills and competencies. At XLRI we recognize this and nurture the
participants through the journey with focused course content, lectures and faculty interactions. At the same
time, we believe there are neither enough formulas nor business cases to stretch the boundaries and span the
range of decisions faced in a career. That is why our approach to learning embraces a meticulous, probe-every-
solution attitude and an appraisal of every problem through the lens of basic business disciplines. Pursuit of
Excellence in academics, personal values and social concern has been the vision of XLRI and the current batch
of GMP truly shares this vision.
The obvious consequence of the XLRI rigor and the GMP pedigree is the creation of responsible, thoughtful
leaders who will create value for their organizations and their communities. I am certain that with the
contributions from the program the participants are ready to lead your organization toward sustaining growth
and development.
I welcome you to discover the talent of the GMP 201213.

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Recruiters,
It is quite likely that in general, the management graduates in India lack substantial industry experience and
their education being highly theoretical in nature, fail to appreciate real challenges which companies and
industries encounter on a day-to-day basis. To overcome this serious lacunae, XLRI pioneered the General
Management Programme (GMP) as a program for middle-level and senior level managers across sectors to
hone their managerial experience and skills by providing a strong grounding on management theories.
The participants are practicing managers with more than 900 years of cumulative experience in diverse
functions and share the air of excelling in every task they undertake. The teaching methodology for GMP
is rigorous and well-rounded, blending business acumen in the fundamental courses with a wide range of
electives. This AICTE approved, 15-months fully residential programme has a healthy mix of classroom lectures
and discussions, case based studies and projects imparting a broad outlook, enriching the participants and
encouraging them to think beyond their limits and identify out-of-the-box solutions and challenge the status-
quo.
GMP offers a unique opportunity to develop a holistic understanding of various business functions, maximize
peer to peer learning and gain a leading edge in their areas of interest. The graduates not only carry with them
the requisite functional knowledge but also are multi-faceted and complete individuals who are well prepared
and deployable right from the start in various organizational roles and divisions in the industry. I welcome you
to come and interact with these highly motivated future leaders.

submissions & nalization of a calendar slot for campus visit.
GMP students have been selected through a rigorous admission process
by XLRI. In addition to having substantial work experience, they are
pruned with the rigorous academic schedule of the program. The
