Director’s Desk

Dear Recruiter, It is my pleasure to introduce to you the PGPX class of 2013. Launched in the summer of 2006, the PGPX is a one year, full time Post Graduate Programme in Management for Executives. PGPX students undergo the rigorous, broad based academic process IIMA is renowned for. The programme moulds experienced professionals into managers who fit naturally into middle and senior executive roles. The profile of this batch is comparable to those at the best business schools across the globe in terms of cross-cultural work experience, knowledge of concepts in management and depth of experience. The programme has been ranked by Financial Times at No. 11 among MBA programmes globally. The graduates from the first six batches of this programme have been absorbed enthusiastically by the industry for various C-suite and other senior level executive positions, both domestically and internationally. It is very heartening for us to note encouraging feedback from recruiters who cite an excellent combination of professional expertise and mid-career specialization in our students that is uncommon in India. I am confident that within the PGPX class of 2013, you will find highly motivated individuals who have the right skills, temperament and experience to add maximum value to your organization.     Professor Samir K.

Programme Chair

Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2011.  And, for the two consecutive years thereon, the PGPX programme has been proudly sporting a gold standard - A standard that has become a benchmark for career progression of business executives around the world. Yes, I refer to the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings for 2011 and 2012 which placed PGPX at Number One Worldwide in terms of Career Progress.  Dear Recruiters, it gives me immense satisfaction to introduce to you the 85 executives that constitute the class of PGPX 2012-13. These participants have been selected through a rigorous, internationally conducted admissions process that includes leadership profiling, personal interviews, and a highly competitive average GMAT score of 717. The candidates have work experience of about 10 years, and, despite being away from school for a reasonable period of time, they have gone through a highly demanding academic programme and intellectual rigour of IIMA. The design of the programme is based on a vigorous debate that brought out the best from customer segments in private and public sector organizations and a fifteen member strong IIMA faculty. As the Chairperson of the programme, I have closely followed the academic progress of these executives. I can confidently say that they are the best in the business. At IIMA they have learned the ropes and are poised to do the Indian rope trick for your organization. Come, visit us and harness the rich experience, commitment, integrity, and the management skills of 85 executives that we have nurtured here at IIMA.

Finance, Strategic Food Marketing, Public Policy, Energy Markets, Management of Micro Finance, Carbon Finance, and Logistics, Supply Chain, and Infrastructure Management in Agribusiness. Students are also oriented to the global scenario, through a student exchange tie-up with ESSEC, France.

Students generally pursue internships in the functional areas of strategy, marketing, supply chain management, business development, consulting, corporate and investment banking in the agri-business sector and rural banking. There is always more to do, and in the future of agri-business in India and across the world, the PGP-ABM program of IIM-Ahmedabad will be leading the way. For further information, please write to [email protected] for a detailed program brochure

FPM The Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) is the doctoral programme of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. The objective of the programme is to provide students with necessary skills to identify and research complex issues in the field of management. FPM seeks candidates with outstanding academic backgrounds, intellectual curiosity and discipline needed to make scholarly contribution. FPM is a research programme. To the selected students, IIMA provides an excellent environment for carrying out advanced research, thus creating highly committed researchers trained in the most recent methodologies and engaged in producing original research work. IIMA’s doctoral programme provides a diverse set of opportunities for interdisciplinary education and research. The small entering class ensures close interaction with the faculty, where students can determine their own directions under the guidance of their thesis advisory committees. The student becomes part of one of the ten functional/ sectoral groups and acquires the basic theoretical knowledge and practical aspects of the area. This

allows close interaction with faculty members, who provide the intellectual stimulation and help develop the student’s own research interests and professional goals. The programme is strongly committed to preparing thought leaders both for the academic and corporate world. Students spend generally a little over four years that includes two years of rigorous course work. Course work in the first year provides a general management overview and develops basic skills for analyzing managerial problems. In the second year, students take advanced doctoral level courses in their areas of specialization. The doctoral dissertation, for the next couple of years, provides them with an opportunity to make original contribution to an area of management or to one of its source disciplines. IIMA’s faculty have studied and worked in the best of institutions within India and around the world. Their involvement with public and private organizations internationally allows them to bring relevant managerial issues into the classroom and in their research. This creates an exceptional environment for developing a research programme that can build sound theory for analyzing complex managerial problems.

PGP Selected through a highly rigorous admission procedure, participants of IIMA’s PGP go through a thoroughly challenging and enriching academic experience during their two years on campus. The programme constantly strives to remain at the forefront of modern management education, instilling in its students values of teamwork, a global focus, an ability to innovate and above all, an unflinching quest for excellence. Then curriculum exposes students to a number of real life situations and contemporary analytical tools that are delivered through the case method of pedagogy. The two month summer internship at the end of the first

year gives students a chance to apply their theoretical knowledge, while gaining firsthand experience of working in an organization in a managerial capacity. The PGP class represents a rich gamut of sociocultural and educational backgrounds, in addition to a healthy mix of fresh graduates and candidates with prior work experience. Participants of IIMA’s PGP programme display great clarity and focus when it comes to charting their career path, and students’ interests cover a broad swathe of sectors and functions including Finance, Marketing, Consulting, Technology, General Management, Policy as well as the Non-profit sector.

Placement Process At IIMA, placements are handled by the Student Placement Committee under the supervision of the faculty through a process that optimizes the interests of both the students and the companies. The student committee gets involved in the process right from corporate interactions (throughout the year), to pre-placement talks, to coordinating activities during placement process. There are two main placement activities on campus: Pre-placement  Talks/Corporate Presentations: Pre-placement presentations (up to 2 rounds) enable organizations to inform students about company’s business, work culture, organizational structure, career, and growth opportunities. We recommend a 30-minute presentation and a 15-minute Q&A session. Presence of senior executives and alumni helps create a better impact. This  year companies can plan to visit IIMA for delivering pre-placements talk starting 01-Oct-2012. For scheduling the talks, Student Placement Committee should be approached at least 7 days in advance.
