Message
Dear Recruiter,
Greetings from IIM Calcutta!
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to placement activities of our Institute. Through the pages of this
brochure you will get a broad overview of our program, activities and the placement process.
We started the Post Graduate Programme for Executives (PGPEX) in 2007 and today the program is in its eighth year.
Faculty members and other stakeholders of the Institute envisaged the need of starting a specialized full time program,
designed to select and incubate people with exceptional intellectual and leadership potential to meet todays globally
challenging business environment where they can remain competitive by thinking strategically and tactically. We
have recently restructured the PGPEX curriculum and this will be effective from the Academic Session 2015-2016.
Individual research projects, introduction of pre work and workshop modes of teaching, live projects within a course
will be encouraged in the revised curriculum. This year, the PGPEX students with their rich and diverse domain
experience launched the first edition of the PGPEX online newsletter, PGPEX Business Review.
The school has taken the initiative to earn accreditation from top global agencies. The Institute has recently
received the AACSB accreditation, one of the most coveted by B-schools, which has been earned by less than
five percent of the worlds business programmes. It takes a great deal of self-evaluation and determination to earn
AACSB Accreditation and an international accreditation gives us recognition that we are doing fundamentally well.
In addition to AACSB, IIM Calcutta has also received accreditation from AMBA in March this year. Through accreditation,
IIM Calcutta has not only met specific standards of excellence, but has also made a commitment to ongoing improvement
to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver high quality education to its students.
I welcome you to read this booklet to know more about the PGPEX Programme.

Chairperson Speak
Dear Recruiter,
Welcome to the placement process of the Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPEX) at IIM Calcutta! PGPEX is a
one-year general management program for experienced executives. The current batch comprises of fifty highly
talented and motivated executives, who were working in India and abroad. The following points will help you get a
glimpse of the talent pool in this batch:
This group of high achievers undergoes a very rigorous curriculum (810 hours of teaching, considerably higher than
others). They also develop through a host of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. We, at IIM Calcutta, believe
that the grooming here prepares them to take up middle and senior level leadership positions across diverse industries.
The past placement record has supported our belief. The students of the past seven batches have been offered
leadership positions such as Director, Vice President and Senior General Manager in industries such as IT, Consulting,
FMCG, Analytics, Automotive and so forth.
The students of the current batch have come from various industries such as Consulting, Technology, PSUs, IT Services,
Financial Services, Power, Energy, Automotive and Manufacturing; and from functional areas such as Business
Development, Strategy, Sales, Marketing, Project Management, Product Management, R&D and Operations. They will
be ready to participate in the placement process in the coming weeks. I am confident that these talented individuals
will be a major asset to any organization. In case you need any assistance or you have a query, please do not

International Immersion Program @ UK

Management programs today are
geared towards creating leaders of
tomorrow, leaders who hope to steer
their organizations towards success.
The PGPEX program this year aimed to
do the same but with a tinge of
experience thrown in! Deciding that
mere lectures on leadership in
comfortable setting of the college are
not good enough and that leaders
should know how to live and breathe
change, IIMC this year transported 23
of its 50 PGPEX students to the Ashridge
Business Schoolin UK to delve more
into the often researched world of
Leadership & Leadership theories. With
a curriculum that ranged from Global
Leadership to Leading Responsibly
during Turbulent Times to Handling
Change, the module covered various
aspects of contextual leadership. The
message was delivered using classroom sessions, experiential learning,
peer interactions and case studies amid
the lush beautiful 180 acre country
estate in Hertfordshire. The students over the two week period looked at leadership through a variety of lenses while
learning about tools that help leaders turn strategy into action. Be it visit to the Mini Cooper Production Plant and
London Stock Exchange or networking event with Rebecca Stephens, the first British woman to climb the Mt. Everest
or Crime Scene Simulation Activity or Outdoor activities, IIMC students got the opportunity to learn, un-learn and relearn about personal effectiveness, change, awareness and global leadership in a variety of ways. The International
Immersion in all proved to be a great learning experience, one which will not only be cherished by us because of the
memories we created but also because of the valuable lessons that we learned about Leaders and Leadership!
International Immersion Program @ Germany

The International Immersion Program at Mannheim Business School, Germany was a 2 week program based on the
theme "Doing Business in Germany". It was designed to provide a high-level view of the economic, cultural and geopolitical drivers behind countries integral to the Eurozone economy. Students attended classroom sessions from
highly qualified faculty and got insights about European Economic & Monetary Integration, Marketing Strategy and
Management in European Markets and International Management with German perspective. PGPEX students met
local business leaders and Mannheim alumni through guest lectures from companies like MVV Energie and achieved
a working knowledge of local business practices. Visiting companies like Daimler, Hager, German Central Bank,
BASF and SAP accentuated the understanding of German
work culture and familiarized with innovative solutions
employed by the German firms to overcome complex
challenges. The networking events with Mannheim students
provided the opportunity to learn from a tremendous group
of professionals and build strong relationships while immersing
PGPEX students in another culture. The Immersion Program
was a great learning experience and shall go a long way in
helping participants to succeed in global environments.

PGPEX has allowed me to take on various roles in a business over the last 3 years. In the
first opportunity post PGPEX, I was managing the CEOs office in SunEdison, a solar
company in South East Asia. I got a full view of running a business while working closely
with the VP, the CFO, project finance directors and other business segment leaders.
During this time, I was able to develop several of the skills I picked up during the one
year at IIMC. This includes skills related to finance, organizational design in the context
of multiple geographies, cross-cultural issues, organizational performance measurement,
business strategy development, connecting strategy to people and execution, negotiation
& persuasion, emotional intelligence, etc. I then moved on to become head of solar
products at SunEdison and launched the companys first solar product in India. In
hindsight, I can say that PGPEX experience allowed me to provide cross-functional
leadership, manage cash and drive the performance of the new vertical.
Over the last 1 year, I have been an entrepreneur running a family business. I was able
to understand the value of my family business only recently. Without PGPEX and
subsequent experience in running at SunEdison, I would not have appreciated the high
gross margins and pricing power in my family business and the core aspects that has
kept it running over the 15 years.
In summary, the impact of PGPEX builds over time and can have a multiplier effect in
the long run as different opportunities open up.

PGPEX turned out to be a perfect bridge between my engineering and product

management careers. My biggest takeaways from the program are the critical business
analysis and problem solving skills which have been immensely helpful in my day to
day work as a PM. The distinguishing feature of PGPEX is a healthy dose of courses
covering analytics & quantitative methods to solve business problems - vital tools in
this age of data driven decision making. Beyond academics, I got a chance to build
lifelong friendships with wonderful people. IIM Calcutta's breathtaking campus is icing
on the cake!

Amit Ray,
Country Head, EiP
In 2011, I was Head Operations (VAS) - TTK Healthcare
Services Private Limited. Harbouring an ambition
to manage a business in the long run, it made sense,
then, to leverage on an internationally reputed
business management course which would provide
an opportunity to interact with a diverse student
body with substantial years of experience. The IIMC
PGPEX changed my perspective of looking at a
business and its environment. It introduced me to
new and innovative management tools and
techniques and their situational relevance. Moreover,
in this ever changing world, it instilled a critical habit
of consistently learning new things. Being able to
call on globally reputed professors or working the
strong, IIM-C alumni network are assets of
considerable value. Currently, I am a Director with
and the Country Head for an UK-India venture called
EiP which delivers Investors in People (IiP), a world
class people management standard, in India.
The time spent at IIM Calcutta during the PGPEX

program has prepared me be a global leader in an
ever-changing and challenging business world.
Through case studies, simulations, projects
and group assignments, I exceled in exercising
management skills, analyzing business issues and
making difficult business decisions. The academic
and personal experiences on campus have left me
with practical and invaluable life lessons in
leadership.
This program is a journey full of extreme rigor and
one that forms a solid foundation for a set of guiding
principles essential to responsible leadership. The
IIM education has given me access to an
unprecedented network of highly successful global
leaders and entrepreneurs that I value a lot. I owe it
to my wonderful professors, institutional authorities
and peers who made this life experience a
memorable one.
To me, before stepping into PGPEX, the world of finance and accounting was completely
alien. I had no clue as to what was balanced in a balance sheet. The continuous
bombardment in the form of tests and assignments and the unrelenting professors left
me with no choice but to dig deeper into the concepts of finance. The interaction with
students from the other program and the attention received from the professors has
definitely made me a better individual in all respects.

I find the PGPEX sessions to be the most rewarding

experience at IIM Calcutta. The class brings interesting
perspectives on operations and supply chain issues based
on their rich background and class preparation. I think
that attention to details while analyzing business
problems is one of the strong points of the PGPEX class.
I am particularly excited that there is an overwhelming
peer learning in this PGPEX batch from the quality of the
class discussions. - Prof. Peeyush Mehta
Teaching our PGPEX students is always a pleasure,

primarily because they make the classes very interactive
and it's a two way learning process. The present batch of
students has diverse work experience which enriched
the class discussions. Most of them would always come
prepared for the sessions and focus on applying the
concepts to real life managerial situations. I am sure they
would extend these learning to the workplace as well
and shoulder due responsibilities. - Prof. Manju Jaiswal
I found teaching Management Science to PGPEX students

a unique and enriching experience. Their diverse strong
industry experience combined with high level of
motivation and dedication, always lead to lively
discussions and excellent analysis of real life problems.
I have been particularly impressed with this batch for
their ability to grasp complex concepts and apply them
in appropriate situations. I have strong faith that our
PGPEX students will make their mark in asignificant way
in the years to come. - Prof. Bodhibrata Nag
I found it very stimulating to teach the current PGPEX

batch. The classroom discussions were very interactive
- they kept me busy with sharp questions and
interventions. It was a learning experience for me as well.
The students are very mature and focused. Their rich
experience combined with the education here surely will
make them ready to take important managerial
responsibilities.- Prof. Sudip Chaudhuri

Limitless Learning
At PGPEX, classroom learning is only one facet of the students' development. With a cumulative work experience of
about 400 years, students can learn as much from the person seated next to them as they can from the person standing
in front. While case discussions enrich by unravelling real-life business dilemmas, peer discussions on various topics
broaden individual perspectives. The opportunities to learn extend from case competitions to career clubs, and
business symposiums to sporting events. It is this compelling concoction of experience, dynamism and values that
catalyses the transformation of experienced professionals into ethical leaders.
Being A CEO
The 'Being a CEO' series, organised exclusively for PGPEX students, offers a unique platform for the students to get a
peek into the minds of industry titans. The objective of this series is to facilitate interaction of the students with
executives from the C-suite of organisations across
industries. Each session provides a glimpse into the various
facets that occupy a top executive's thoughts. The speakers'
bring to bear years of leadership experience and enthralling
war stories on matters as diverse as government
regulations, people management, career changes and
learning from failure. The students are exposed to the
intricacies of decision making at the highest levels of
organisations. A recent session by the Chairman and
Managing Director of NTPC provided a fascinating insight
into the mechanisms of a public sector undertaking, and
the qualities required to succeed in such an environment.
During the past few years, the PGPEX students have had
the privilege of hosting speakers from Banking, Finance,
Defence, Retail, Power, Automotive, and IT industries.
A major advantage of these sessions is that it helps students develop a bridge between the theoretical concepts learnt
in the classroom and the realities of leading organisations. A common theme across all speakers is the emphasis on
ethical decision making in an increasingly unforgiving corporate environment. Thus the complexities of doing business
without compromising on core values are brought out very well through such interactions. It helps students gain
a holistic understanding of how to tackle such challenges as future leaders.

Life at IIM Calcutta

Students at IIM Calcutta run a wide range of clubs and special interest
groups (SIGs) in campus. These clubs and SIGs offer students to follow
and explore their interests in professional, sports, social and creative
fields. Despite the rigours of an intense One Year Program, clubs and
SIGs have now become an integral part of PGPEX student life. The students
of PGPEX - VIII have contributed using their work and life experiences to
the clubs / SIGs and received appreciation from faculty and students alike.
The PGPEX-VIII has representations in over a dozen different clubs / SIG,
the cultural committee, the student council as well as in the IIM-Calcutta's
basketball and cricket teams.
48
Participation in clubs include those related to the core business

function clubs like the Operations club, Marketing club,
Consulting club amongst others. However, it is not all about
business and academics at the clubs, PGPEX students also have
active participation in the other cultural and social clubs like the
JBS BaroC, the OutThink club and the IIM Calcutta's own social and
community action club, the INCA. PGPEX participants from the
Colloquia club have organised and managed various talks, seminars
and workshops by eminent personalities. PGPEX Students are also
part of the organising committees of Intaglio, IIM Calcutta's annual
international Business School summit, and Carpe Diem, IIM Calcutta's
annual cultural fest. The PGPEX students are also active in sports and
follow physically active and fit lifestyles. Students are part of IIM Calcutta's
Cricket league teams, representing the campus at various inter-college
competitions. The family members of PGPEX students also have a role to
play in the campus activities.
The kids and other family members of PGPEX students presented a dance performance at the Independence Day
function which received huge appreciation and applause by all the guests and faculty. The club activities compliment
the pedagogy in instilling a strong sense of teamwork through various group interactions at different forums. These
Club / SIG interactions include students from all programs of IIM Calcutta and gives PGPEX students a fresh perspective
that adds to the experiences from their professional life.
Lattice is a platform that facilitates interaction between transformational leaders of Indian society
and IIM Calcutta students. The business symposium aims to propagate the implementation of
new ideas and thinking in the corporate world and the society. The symposium strives to provide
meaningful coverage on current trends, opportunities and challenges in India. More information

Lattice
Today, as workforces are evolving and needs of employees are becoming more complex, the rules
of management are becoming obsolete faster than we believe. To this end, this year's conference,
to be held on November 7th-8th 2014, titled "Synergy of Youth and Experience: India's future"
intends to explore such emerging cross generational issues and discover possible synergies
amongst these seemingly polar groups which can benefit our organizations. Through the various
guest speakers, panel discussions and other events we hope to discuss about what's troubling
Indian organizations and focus on how today's populace can work together to realize our country's
growth potential.
2013
2012
Lattice 2013, with the theme, "India - The Time

Ahead" was conducted over two days in October
2013 with many different speaker sessions and
panel discussions. We had the privilege to hear
from media luminaries like Mr. Shekhar Gupta,
Mr. Prashant Pandey about the state of media
industry in India, personal experiences of
entrepreneurs like Mr. E SarathBabu (Foodking),
Mr. Ashish Chaturvedi (uFony) and speakers from
various sections of the society discussing on the
human cost of industrialization. These dialogues
touched upon various economic, business and
social aspects of future India and were enriched by
the opinions of our respected speakers.
Lattice 2012, with the theme "Winds of Change",

aimed to usher in a wave of new ideas among
participants who will go on to make a meaningful
difference in the corporate world and the society
as future change agents. The event turned out tobe
a diverse mix of ideas from contributions fromthe
eminent speakers such as Mr. M. Goutham Reddy,
Executive Director, Ramky Group; Mr. Vijay Mahajan,
Founder and Chairman of BASIX; and Mr. Aritra
Sarkar, VP, Strategy of ABP Group.
2011
2010
Lattice 2011 had the central theme of "Innovations

for India". A country as diverse as India is a
meltingpot of cultures, languages, tastes and social
andeconomic stature. This variety brings
complexity and uniqueness. The good, the bad
and the puzzling all exist in one frame, and that
makes innovations all the more challenging. Lattice
2011 was an effort, as future business leaders, to
understand, appreciate and contribute to the
innovations happening in India.
The theme of Lattice 2010 was "Socially

Conscious Leadership" and was inaugurated by
Lt. Gen. J.S. Bajwa, UYSM, SM, the Chief of Staff of
the Eastern Command, Indian Army and included
speakers from Tata Motors, Peepli Live etc.

guidelines practised by organizations that tend to have the highest acceptance

Unless explicit permission has been provided by the Placement Committee,
participants are restricted from approaching companies directly for individual
placements. Companies are requested to interact either through student
placement co-ordinators or executives of the Placement Committee.
51
CAMPUS VISIT POLICY

Companies may visit the Institute before the scheduled placement days to conduct industry talks and discussions.
Following guidelines shall be applicable in this context :

All campus activities must be scheduled in conjunction with the PGPEX placement committee.
The fixed joining fee per student is charged for the services offered to the company throughout the course of recruitment
from the campus.
All placement charges should be settled within one month of students joining the organization. The institute however
does not guarantee that the student will join the company or will remain in the job for a specified duration of time.
Service taxes, if applicable, will be charged in addition to the fees.
COMMUNICATION
Recruiters are required to communicate the offer details to the PGPEX Placement Committee in order to enable the
Committee to streamline the placement process for both recruiter and participant.
We advise our students to consider each opportunity as a long-term commitment and to accept offers where they can
make contributions over time. The placement committee understands your need to finalize business planning and
encourage students to make their decisions as quickly as possible. We encourage you to stay in close contact with the
PGPEX Placement Committee throughout the recruiting season and offer process so that we can ensure students are
adhering to our guidelines and assisting you with any helpful information.
Employers are expected to honour any offers they extend. If an offer must be rescinded, employers should contact the
account manager immediately to work out a positive communication strategy.
