    Empowering ExecutiveTowards Leadership

  • 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 thisbrochure 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.

    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 re-learn 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!

    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 class-room sessions, experiential learning, peer interactions and case studies amid the lush beautiful 180 acre country

    The International Immersion Program at Mannheim Business School, Germany was a 2 week program based on the theme "Doing Business in Germany".

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.

    Luminous Alumni

    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!Mohan KRK, Product Manager, Google

    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.

    Prashanth Sanivarapu, Vice President, Goldman Sachs

    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, I IM-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, s imulations, projectsand 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 l ife 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 I IM educat ion 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 l i fe experience a memorable one.

    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

    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

    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 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
