Faculty Speak The PGPEX programme has evolved over the years and matured into a programme for creating leaders who are ready to take senior positions in any organisation. The level of engagement, curiosity and maturity shown by students during classroom discussions is praiseworthy. Alumni of this programme have already demonstrated how effectively they could translate their learning into action.

PGPEX classroom interaction is one of the most rewarding experiences at IIM Calcutta. The participants embrace the concepts with rigor and leverage their rich industry experience. The contribution of the participants in the class discussion and peer learning is a significant component in their academic process. I interacted with this class on course on

I have personally enjoyed the experience of interacting with the 2018 batch of PGPEX students; most of them come with significant exposure to business problems, therefore, their ability to connect to class discussions is much greater. As an instructor, I cherish their enthusiasm to learn, which I believe, will reward them with an exciting career ahead.

Krishanu Rakshit Associate Professor, Marketing

The current batch of PGPEX students, with its diverse and vast experience, brings a unique insight into the class room learning experience. They correlate their past work experience with the concepts being taught, to strengthen their understanding of the subject. The vast diversity of the batch also aids in cross industry learning, and enhances their ability to tackle a wide range of real life business problems.

Parthapratim Pal Professor, Economics

It was a pleasure teaching the current batch of PGPEX students. They were engaged and enthusiastic. What really impressed me was their willingness to ask the right questions and map theoretical knowledge with practical implications. It is rare to find a such group of students who make classroom discussions extremely enriching with relevant contributions. Preetam Basu Associate Professor, OM

Global Exposure International Immersion Program @ Germany The contemporary business scenario makes it imperative upon the budding industry leaders to evolve a global outlook and greater understanding of the work environment in diverse cultural settings. In line with this requirement, PGPEX curriculum provisions for an international immersion program through a partner B-School in an organizing country. Twenty five students of the current batch went through this program for two weeks at Mannheim Business School, Germany. This Immersion program was based on the theme ”Doing Business in Germany”. The course was designed to develop an understanding about economic, cultural, and geopolitical drivers behind Germany’s growth to the leader of European economy. Students attended classroom sessions by highly qualified faculty with the focus on European economic integration, international business management with German perspective, and marketing and operational strategies of European businesses. The classroom learning was further reinforced by experiential learning through on-site visits to European Central Bank and to hidden champions of German SME industry such as Hager, Kleemann and Karcher. This helped students in getting an insight into German business practices, organizational work culture, level of technological adoption and innovative approaches these organizations employ to resolve complex challenges. Thus, students could develop an understanding of the factors that helped these organizations in maintaining a global competitive advantage through long standing strategic positioning and operational efficiencies. The interaction with German business leaders and the social networking events further provided an opportunity for learning and building a strong relationship with these professionals. Through such activities, students could understand some finer social and cultural aspects of “Doing Business in Germany”. The immersion program, thus, helped students in transforming their business perspective about working in a global environment and this will help them emerge as successful global leaders in the industry.

International Immersion Program @ US The Global Immersion program has been a very important part of PGPEX Curriculum as it has, over the years, revealed to its students the pedagogy of other global Business Schools and provided them with the opportunity to partake and experience the best global business practices & technological disruptions that are shaping the future. This year, twenty-three students attended the 2week long program - "US Business Strategy and Entrepreneurship” at Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. The Classroom sessions were a blend of lectures, case analysis & discussions on Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Analytics & Strategy supplemented with interesting anecdotes of companies that have established themselves as global leaders and are now deploying technology to spawn new business opportunities. In addition to the latest tools and management frameworks, the students were introduced to fresh perspectives on a wide array of topics such as assessment of business models, formulating corporate strategies, effective decision making & fostering innovative culture.

IIMC

This Immersion Program was an opportunity to learn about the key elements of effective leadership, the role of leaders as agents of change, and the delicate issues that leaders face in today’s complex organizational structures. Visits to a few of the prominent fortune 500 companies - Paccar, Amazon, Boeing and Starbucks gave the students an exclusive opportunity to get a close view of the operations and to interact with prominent leaders of these organizations. These interactions helped students understand the recipe of how companies generate competitive advantage over their peers, adopt leaner and agile manufacturing practices, and introduce technological innovations. In many ways, the Global Immersion Program, was a glimpse into the future, enabling the students to look at forthcoming challenges with different perspectives and the innovative ways to overcome them. Additionally, it sensitized them about global culture and the integration challenges that one would face in an increasingly global business world.

International Immersion Program @ UK The immersion programme is an opportunity to learn how to address business issues in an international cross-cultural environment. This year, 20 students of PGPEX visited Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK (only Triple Accredited business school in Scotland; Business School of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards 2016) for a 2-week International Immersion Programme. The classroom discussions began with Brexit, and its plausible impact on the economy and trade of UK & EU as well as the rest of the world including India. There were inputs from Fraser of Allander Institute, which is Scotland’s leading independent economic research institute. The next session discussed u p o n t h e ‘Globalization of Business Services’ and how decisions of offshoring, nearshoring, onshoring and reshoring are affecting the outsourcing industry globally. The characteristics of BPO industry were discussed given that India is one of the major players in the Industry. It was followed by a session on Strategic Foresight. One of the objectives of the immersion programme was to help students gain insights into the financial sector which took a big hit after the 2008 financial crisis. The changes and restructuring of banks post the 2008 fiasco were seen and discussed during the visits to the headquarters of Royal Bank of Scotland, Gogarburn and Clydesdale Bank, Glasgow. The visits were interspersed with discussions on Financial Technologies, Risk Management and Future of Financial Services in Europe. The students even had a first-hand experience of world financial markets at the Bloomberg Lab at the Business School. Industrial visits were organised to Babcock International at Rosyth Business Park, one of the largest waterside manufacturing facilities in UK and to Scottish Power’s Cruachan Power Station, an engineering marvel inside a hollow mountain. Babcock explained its workflow during the site visit and demonstrated how it manages and delivers large complex projects. At the power plant, its history, operating details and possibility of expansion were talked about, while keeping in mind that Scottish Power is focused on delivering a sustainable, greener energy future. The students visited Strathclyde Enterprise Hub as well as Technology and Innovation Centre of the University, where they interacted with the budding entrepreneurs who shared new business ideas and their plans of implementation. Networking events were organised with representatives of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, as well as with Strathclyde Alumni and Strathclyde Business Fellows. During study tours/visits, students also had the chance to explore the culture and history of Scotland on their visit to the Edinburgh Festival and a day-tour of Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle and Glengoyne Whisky Distillery. Bagpipes playing in the University halls marked the end of the Immersion programme in University of Strathclyde. The International Immersion in all proved to be a great learning experience, one which would be cherished by all not only because of the memories we created but also because of the valuable lessons that we learned.

PGPEX

Alumni Speak The PGPEX at IIM Calcutta, a decade ago (2007-08) was like drinking management straight from the fire hose. The programme exposed me to the entire management spectrum ranging from Strategy to Finance to Operations to Leadership and H.R. taught by outstanding and highly committed faculty through highly interactive classroom lectures, case studies and assignments. The learning through the accomplished peer group from across industry and with significant international experience, frequent interactions with industry leaders and international internship was very enriching. And, by hindsight I am amazed that all this happened in less than a year !!! Apart from acquiring management knowledge, frameworks and tools, I feel that the rigor and intensity of the programme in general helped me stretch and enhance my perception of the business and economic world and more importantly it made me an avid learner which I realize is a very important ability in today’s constantly changing world. I thank all the faculty of IIM Calcutta for designing and delivering such an enriching management programme. Jeetendra Singh Class of 2008 Executive Director, Transformation Cell Railway Board, Indian Railways, 30.07.2017

I had around 9 years of work experience when I joined the PGPEX course at IIM Calcutta. Apart from the case studies, projects and group assignments, the one intangible difference this course made in my life is that it changed my perspective of how I see and approach problems. PGPEX provided me a holistic view of looking at Business challenges and enabled me to think on my feet and out of the box solutions. Apart from the strong Alumni network , another key aspect of the course was the amazing classmates I had and the things I learnt from them by simply being part of the vibrant environment. Exemplary faculty and a serene campus added priceless value to my entire Joka experience. Natarajan Rajagopalan Transformation Manager, Credit Suisse Class of 2013

PGPEX was the metamorphosis I had been searching for and when I joined the programme 2013-14, like everyone else in the batch, I too was looking for a “break”. The course refined me in more ways than one, though in the initial days, it was academically daunting and looked invincible. The best part of the programme was and always will be the peer learning. Questions get answered in the canteens over dinner and concepts get broken down in the hostel common rooms. The courses offered by the professors form the core of the programme and the demands from the professors are unrelenting. Learning to manage time is a huge skill that takes shape as the course commences and is a skill that stays for the rest of one’s days. Ultimately, the course softens the rough edges, augments wisdom and injects competencies in a way that is unique to Joka. Prashanth Sanivarapu Country Head, United Finance PLC Class of 2014

Life @ IIMC Despite the day-to-day rigors of this one year programme, PGPEX students participate wholeheartedly in the activities of the clubs and have been, over the years, one of the major driving forces in organizing and hosting various events. Apart from the clubs, the PGPEX students are also an integral part of the institute’s Sports Fraternity participating actively in Sporting events both off and on campus. 58

IIMC

An MBA at IIM Calcutta is incomplete without the true experience of the life at the sprawling green campus of this esteemed institute. Students enjoy the proximity to nature, yet are a part of the human fervor and passion of various social clubs and activities at the campus. Students get a chance to pursue their interests in professional sports, music, drama, photography and filmmaking. Regular events, conferences, symposiums organized by the clubs, not limited to just the campus but in the city of Kolkata, the cultural capital of the East, enrich the minds of the students. The facilities at MDC, for the students who are living single on-campus, provide state of the art modern amenities and are probably one of the best residential facilities at a management school in the country. Few students stay with their families on campus in the family hostel. The spouses are welcome at the social events on campus and the kids find ample space and natural playgrounds to nurture their young minds at the green campus. The family hostel enriches the bond between not just the fellow students but even between their family members.

Lattice Lattice is the Business Conclave organized at IIM Calcutta and hosted by PGPEX. It is an ideal platform that facilitates interaction between stalwarts from all walks of life, a part of which are IIM Calcutta alumni, students and professors. The Conclave aims to serve as a platform to propagate new ideas and develop sustainable solutions to address the current socio-economic problems facing our country.

Lattice 2017: “INDIA’S ROAD AHEAD” Lattice is a platform that facilitates interaction between transformational leaders of Indian society and IIM Calcutta students. The conclave aims to propagate the implementation of new ideas and thinking in the corporate world and the society. The theme for this year's event is "INDIA'S ROAD AHEAD". In today’s VUCA ( Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity Ambiguity) world, traditional ways of doing business are not as relevant as before. The government has introduced a host of reformative initiatives like GST, Make in India, Digital India, Smart cities, Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana, PAHAL (DBTL), Financial Inclusion etc. These set of reforms truly promise to deliver inclusive growth and development. The implementation of these initiatives provides a potential opportunity for India to reshape and restructure its corporate landscape, thereby strengthening its position globally. This opportunity comes at a time when the world is growing at its slowest pace since 2009. How does India Inc plan to travel the treacherous road ahead?

Throwback to the history of Lattice Lattice 2016: “MAKE IT HAPPEN” Theme: “Make It Happen” was about turning a vision into a reality. As the famous quote states “It's not enough to stare up the steps, rather to step up the steps". Speakers: Honourable Railway Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu Panelists: Mr. Ashok Gopinath, Mr. Sathish Nuggu, Mr. Shibaditya Sen, Mr. Vikas Prabhu all helped us understanding how and what all was required to turn the vision into reality. Lattice 2015: “PASSION DRIVES EXCELLENCE” Theme: “Passion Drives Excellence” was about the power of passion, be it in any walk of life, an undisputed driver of excellence. Speakers: Mr. Viresh Oberoi and Mrs. Sangeeta Talwar Panelists: Ms. Annie Mathew, Mr. Mahesh Iyer, Mr. Neeraj Kumar and Mr. Krishnakumar S. Lattice 2014: “SYNERGY OF YOUTH AND EXPERIENCE: INDIA’S FUTURE” Theme: “Synergy of Youth and Experience: India’s Future” explored emerging cross generational issues and discovered possible synergies amongst these seemingly polar groups to benefit organizations. Speakers: Mr. Pankaj Pachauri, Dr. Chandan Mitra Panelists: Leaders from eBay, Reebok, Aditya Birla Power
