Students Speak

This course is about transformation. It not only imparts us education, but reinforces in us the spirit of creative action. One is repeatedly pitted against hard questions and challenges which have no easy answers and a deep reflection ensues. Thus it awakes us to our own possibilities and potential of though, creativity, leadership and action. The professors push us to the very end of our logic and then take us on a journey to the realms of new thoughts and ideas that we’ve never met before. Our prejudices are demolished, our resolve is strengthened, we suddenly discover that we are capable of so much more than we had given ourselves to believe. The wit of the professors who keep smoothening the strains of learning on our forehead is just the cherry topping on the cake of learning.

After spending close to 15 years in the industry, it is never an easy decision to take a break and get back to school but the learning and the confidence which EPGP has given me is surely worth the time and effort. The excellent faculty, the program structure and the peer profile made IIMB my first choice for the program.

To me International Immersion has been the highlight of the program. It gave us the opportunity to interact with the CEO of the top Korean companies and some top speakers from industry and academia. It also helped us know more about Korea, its people and their culture highlighting the nuances of doing business in a cross cultural context.

EPGP is not about just equipping you with management skills but helping you develop holistic perspective of life. It is the professors who are among the best, passionate in what they teach, always willing to give you time, stimulate your thoughts which helps make all this difference. With contemporary subjects such as corporate ethics, social entrepreneurship etc as part of course, aim sure EPGPians will make the socially responsible leaders who are needed in today’s business world.

The EPGP Class of 2011 comes from a variety of backgrounds, such as IT services, consulting, operations, and even defence. Almost everyone has considerable international exposure. I would rate this Class high on analytical ability. The students worked extremely hard on case presentations and projects. The understanding and insights they have acquired in the Programme, e.g., making sense of financial statements, budgets and costs, should enable them to appreciate and resolve the conflicting pressures on a business enterprise. I believe that the students will be able to contribute to their prospective employers in a superior way by combining their new learnings with their past organizational experience.

I found the EPGP batch of 10-11  to be highly self-motivated, capable of working under pressure and psychologically secure and well-grounded. I enjoyed interacting with them both inside and outside the class. I am sure they will translate the valuable insights gained from their studies at IIMB into tangible assets for the organizations they choose to work with

I found the EPGP-10 group as extremely inquisitive, energetic and hard working. Their level of involvement in the course, preparation and intellectually stimulating interaction in the class was a delight.

I very much enjoyed interacting with Executive-PGP (EPGP) participants. The group has rich experience and it makes the dialogue and learning process in the class highly enriching. I am convinced that the participants have the competencies to handle senior management responsibilities in global organizations.
