Message from the Director

Contents Dear Recruiter,
Greetings!
It has been our constant endeavour to understand the challenges and avenues in
the business world. We equip our programmes, pedagogy, and students with the
most cutting edge business tools and perspectives suiting the needs of the ever
changing business environment. In light of this, our Executive Post Graduate
Programme (EPGP) programme has been created with the intention of preparing
experienced professionals for senior management roles who can lead
organisations in increasingly complex and conflicting situations. At the same time,
as the world becomes increasingly global and emerging markets measure up to
the developed economies, the dynamics of organisations and demands made on
them change. In these shifting times, IIMB's EPGP has been created as a
programme that enables students to derive the best from both the worlds.
Our EPGP programme has been received with acclaim by the industry for its
innovative course content, batch of bright students, and maturity of thought that
they bring. While our very first batch students received a splendid placement, we
are emphatic that the next batch of students will surpass the expectations of the
recruiters with their keenness, skill, wisdom, spontaneity, and leadership traits.
With my best wishes, and hope that these professionals will be the torchbearers of
India, I present to you the second batch of EPGP students.

Corporations across the world are grappling with the forces of globalization and
~ Socrates ~ change. The environmental complexity is deepened by the expanding influence of
technology evolution and shifting socio-political equations. Firms which are attuned
to these realities are acutely aware of the need to reinforce their capabilities in
order to effectively tackle the challenges and remain competitive. The frontlines of
these battlefields are increasingly being manned by both mid and senior level
executives. Undoubtedly, organizational sustenance and survival is directly
dependent on the caliber, competence and capabilities of these executives.
Essentially, while deep functional expertise is a prerequisite for such executives,
their effectiveness is contingent upon the ability to perceive and understand a
situation from multiple perspectives. The EPGP bridges this gap by virtue of its
selection criteria, curriculum design and delivery.
The Executive Post Graduate Program (EPGP) is a fully residential one year post
graduate program which prepares students for mid and senior level management
roles. The program offers general management education imparted by a
