Dear Recruiter,

Greetings from IIM Calcutta!

It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to the placement activities of our Institute. Through the pages of this brochure you will get a broad overview of our programme, activities and the placement process.

We started the Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPEX) in 2007 and today the program is in its ninth year. Faculty members and other stakeholders of the Institute envisaged the need of starting a specialized full time programme, designed to select and incubate people with exceptional intellectual and leadership potential to meet today's globally challenging business environment where they can remain competitive by thinking strategically and tactically. We have recently restructured the PGPEX curriculum, which was made operational from the Academic Session 2015-2016. Individual research projects, introduction of pre work and workshop modes of teaching, live projects within a course have been encouraged in the revised curriculum. Last year, the PGPEX students with their rich and diverse domain experience launched the first editionof 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 among B-schools, which has been earned by less than five percent of the world's 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 2014. Through accreditation, IIM Calcutta has not only met specific standards of excellence, but 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.

Chairperson'sCommunique

Dear Recruiter,

PGPEX is the one year, full-time, residential, post-graduate program in management of IIM Calcutta. It has been designed for executives with substantial work experience and leadership potential. The program, currently in its ninth year, has created top management professionals who have enriched business in India and abroad through their strategic contributions across industries.

The extremely competitive selection process followed in the program ensures that only the very best in terms of aptitude, initiative and experience qualify. A look at the batch profile for the present class will show that they have about 9 years of average work experience with significant international exposure. This is a diverse batch with work experience in Information Technology, Consulting, Telecom, Manufacturing, Power and Financial Services.

The PGPEX course is structured to harness and synergize management understanding and techniques through courses offered by our in-house and international visiting faculty. This is further augmented with consistent engagement with industry leaders and CEOs who share with the participants their rich insights and practical underpinnings. PGPEX students also go through an international immersion program to improve their understanding of global business. On completion of the course, the students are able to implement new ideas, play leadership roles and contribute significantly to the growth and development of their organizations. The rigors of the PGPEX curriculum have met the stringent accreditation norms set by AACSB. IIM Calcutta has also been placed among the top 16 global business schools according to the ranking done by the Financial Times.

The experience and domain knowledge of the students, backed by the management skills imparted by IIM Calcutta's globally reputed PGPEX program have shaped them to be successful future business leaders and change agents ready to face the ever changing, competitive and increasingly globalized world.

It is, therefore, with great conviction and pride that I present to you the 9th batch of Post Graduate Program for Executives, IIM Calcutta. I am sure they will be an asset to any organization.

Dear Recruiter,

Welcome to the placement process of the Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPEX) at IIM Calcutta! Currently in its ninth batch, PGPEX has been a much sought-after one-year general management program for experienced executives. This year we have 54 highly talented and motivated executives who were previously working in India as well as abroad. A brief snapshot of the quality of this talent pool is reflected in the following:

• Average Work Experience of the Batch: 8.7 Years

• Average International Experience: 1.6 Years

• Median GMAT Score of the Batch: 690

These talented and committed individuals are undergoing a very rigorous curriculum. Their stay at IIM Calcutta also provides them with opportunities to develop themselves through a host of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. We believe that the grooming here prepares them to take up middle and senior level leadership positions across diverse industries. The past placement record has supported our belief. The students of the past eight batches have been offered leadership positions such as Director, Vice President, and Senior General Manager in industries such as IT, consulting, FMCG, analytics, automotive, real estate, infrastructure, so on and so forth.

The students of the current batch have come from diverse industries (Consulting, IT, Automobile/Manufacturing, Energy, Banking and Financial Services, e-commerce, so on and so forth) and their previous roles are multifaceted (Consulting, Program/Project Management, Operations, Product Development, Finance, Sales, Business Development, so on and so forth). I hope their profiles excite you and you want to meet them in person. They would be ready to engage in placement activities beginning November, 2015. In case IIM Calcutta can be of any help in meeting your talent needs, I'd be glad to assist. My contact details are mentioned below.

Hoping to meet you on campus!

With regards,

Financial Research and Trading LabThe Financial Research and Trading Lab (the Finance Lab) at IIM Calcutta was set up in November 2008 to undertake cutting edge research on financial markets using real time high frequency data from financial markets of India and around the world. The Finance Lab uses a simulator to simulate trading in financial markets using actual prices.In 2011, there was a grant from the Union Finance Ministry of Rs. 20 crore.

The contemporary business management practices make it imperative upon the budding industry leaders to evolve a global outlook and greater understanding of 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 organizing country.

Twenty eight students of the current batch went through this program for two weeks to Mannheim Business School Germany. Immersion program was based on the theme "Doing Business in Germany". The program was designed to develop an understanding about economic, cultural, and geo-political drivers behind countries integral to European economy. Students attended class room 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 class room learning was further reinforced by experiential learning through on-site visits to German Central Bank, global giants such as Mercedes,

INDIAN INST ITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CALCUTTAPOST GRADUATE PROGRAM FOR EXECUTIVES 2015-16 8

International Immersion Program @ GermanySAP headquarters & BASF and to hidden champions of German SME industry such as Hager and Kärcher. It helped in getting an insight into German business practices, organizational work culture, level of technological adoption in German organizations, 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 competitive advantage through longstanding strategic positioning and operational efficiencies.

The interaction with German business leaders and networking event with students further provided an opportunity for peer learning and building a strong relationship with these professionals. Through such activities students could understand some finer socio-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 would go a long way in helping them emerge as successful leaders in industry.

Prof .Dr. Jürgen Schrödes, University of Mannheim

I taught this group from IIM-Calcutta about the European economic integration during their visit to Manheim business school. The group was extremely interested and had very good basic knowledge of international economics. They were very much interested to know how we try to solve our current problems in the Euro area. In the discussion they gave extremely interesting comments which is quite unusual in classes like these. I enjoyed the class very very much.

International Immersion Program @ US

Immersion program has become an important part of curriculum for PGPEX students. It gives an opportunity for students to get exposed to pedagogy of other prominent B-school abroad. In addition, there are industry visits which help to widen the perspectives and build on the established foundation.

This year, 26 of the PGPEX students went to Foster School of Business, University of Washington at Seattle. The Program was based on the theme of "Global Leadership and Strategy". True to its theme was its content. Classroom sessions covered important aspects of strategy, leadership, marketing, analytics, innovation and decision making. Professors provided relevant industrial experiences to augment the learning. Emphasis was made to showcase how companies are getting impacted by the challenge of globalization and what these companies are doing in turn. Classroom sessions covered how innovation, values and cultural aspects were creating a competitive advantage for present day companies.Importance of leadership traits that stood the test of time and are much

needed in today's dynamic environment were stressed upon.

Visits to Fortune 500 companies - Boeing, PACCAR, Starbucks and COSTCO Wholesale - provided a golden opportunity to see how these companies are marching from strength to strength each day. These companies have achieved operational efficiency in different areas while not diluting customer centric approach. To know about technology disruptions and how these companies have embraced the new technologies or how they are gearing up for changes ahead was admirable. Executives of these companies reiterated the importance of values and organizational culture in creating a formidable position. They made the students aware of what it entails to be a global company.

Immersion program takes the students a step ahead to look at forthcoming challenges with different perspectives and in turn overcome such challenges innovatively and optimally.

Being selected for the PGPEX program was a dream come true for me.

PGPEX program was instrumental in transforming my "frog in the well"

mindset. The program expanded my knowledge horizons and helped me to

think big. The program gave me a 360 degree view and enhanced understanding

of various aspects of businesses. It also contributed vastly to honing my

understanding of the various components of strategy. I cherished the campus

experience and benefitted from the diversity of my batch. My family also enjoyed

the campus environment and blended well with the families of my batchmates.

Post the program, a lot of avenues and roles that otherwise I would

Luminous Alumni

Page 14: Experience Excellence

One challenging year at the beautiful IIM Calcutta campus was an enriching experience in varied dimensions. Living and breathing Management studies, amongst some very bright minds and under the tutelage of exceptionally competent Professors, prepared me well for the Corporate life after having spent nearly 20 years in Indian Army. My soft landing process was greatly aided by the camaraderie instilled during hours of burning the midnight oil together in groups. My present assignment, in Corporate Planning, needs a blend of nearly every subject studied at the campus with the past experience gained.Nitin Raj Zonal Head for Infra at ICICI Bank

The rigour of the programme by way of assignments, case studies, quizzes, projects and international immersion helped me significantly enhance my capacity to deliver against tight time lines, think out of the box and acquire new skill sets. The opportunities to interact and network with a large number of professional peers across various industries and industry leaders helped me broaden my perspective and thoughts and think differently

Jeetendra SinghDirector, NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India), Government of India)

With substantial work experience prior to joining the PGPEX program, I had my moments of doubt whether taking a break at that juncture of my career was the right thing to do. Also, ours would be the pioneer batch and there was no legacy behind us.

However once I landed in the IIMC campus, all my doubts were dispelled. PGPEX program completely changed my perspective of looking at business, economy and philosophically at life in general. The program was extremely rigorous, but the fun and excitement of learning was worth all the effort we put in. Thanks to the eminent professors, their pedagogy style and a highly experienced and diverse peer group, the one year experience at IIMC became a memorable one for me.

Post PGPEX, I joined TCS in the domain of Business Analytics. I have been engaged in defining business analytics vision and strategy for many Fortune 500 companies across the globe. The learnings from PGPEX program came in very handy in all these engagements.

Looking back, the decision to invest in myself through PGPEX was one of the best decisions I have taken in my career. My best wishes to all the students of the current and future batches of PGPEX

I had 11+ years of experience in Business development, Client management and Growth strategy before joining IIMC PGPEX program. Program gave excellent exposure to finance, strategy, marketing, operations etc. In a way, I acquired skills and knowledge for running any business function of an organization.

The key differentiator of PGPEX is the diversity of student experience which makes class discussions very enriching and enjoyable. It's a very well managed program with a very collaborative learning environment.

Apart from academics, I had good time playing tennis and participating in IIMC music club & social sector focus events. With my wife and 2 kids in campus, it was best-of-both-world for me. We truly made lifetime friends and will cherish the memories for years to come.

PGPEX has created tremendous positive impact and has opened a world of opportunity for me. I highly recommend PGPEX program - It a remarkable experience!

INDIAN INST ITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CALCUTTAPOST GRADUATE PROGRAM FOR EXECUTIVES 2015-16 16

I have been teaching at IIMC for more than twenty five years now. It has always been a great experience to teach our PGPEx students who have significant work experience. Class sessions with them entail much more of fruitful discussions, involving mutual exchange of ideas and experiences, than just one-way lectures. The work experience that they have enables them to really understand and internalize the concepts that are discussed in the class. They are easily able to see the applicability of the concepts and frameworks discussed. Discussions in the class often teach me as much as the students possibly learn from me. Do I need to say anything more?

Prof. Sanjiv Damodar VaidyaProfessor, Management Information Systems

What struck me was the excitement levels and the willingness to engage during the course. It was indeed a revelation how they could connect the theory and their own experience so effectively, creating a wonderful shared learning environment.

* Contract basis

The PGPEX programme at IIM Calcutta endeavours to synergise the rich and varied professional backgrounds of participants with industry leading curriculum and academic inputs that allow graduates to function as highly effective and proactive managers in the challenging times of today. From t h e P r o f e s s o r ' s p o i n t o fview, teaching a class of experienced professionals is at once challenging and sa t i s fy ing. The PGPEX p r o g r a m m e a s w e l l a sthe faculty at IIM Calcutta enable professionally experienced executives think out of the box and take data and evidence based decisions for their business challenges and responsibilities to stakeholders.

Purusottam SenProfessor, Finance and Control

Teaching in the PGPEx programme is always a pleasure for the flexibility it offers to customise our courses and class discussions to leverage on the diverse and rich work experience of the students across a wide spectrum. The mix of professions in the classroom is fascinating at times, predisposing me to listen more than teach for generating a fruitful and intellectually challenging discussion. Students generally appear to have made an informed decision being at career crossroads, about being in the programme. They thereby, exhibit greater desire to learn and equip themselves with the tools to be business leaders of tomorrow.

Limitless Learning

At PGPEX, classroom learning is only one facet of the students' development. With a cumulative work experience of about 400 years, students can learn as much from the person seated next to them as they can from the person standing in front. While case discussions enrich by unravelling real-life business dilemmas, peer discussions on various topics broaden individual perspectives. The opportunities to learn extend from case competitions to career clubs, and business symposiums to sporting events. It is this compelling concoction of experience, dynamism and values that catalyses the transformation of experienced professionals into ethical leaders.

Beyond Classroom

Being a CEO'Being a CEO' series, offers a unique platform for the students to connect with top business leaders and get a peek into the minds of industry stalwarts. The objective of this series is to facilitate interaction between students and top executives from organizations across industries. Each session provides a glimpse into the various facets that may occupy a top leader's thoughts. The speakers bring years of leadership experience and captivating stories on diverse matter such as government regulations, people management, career changes and several learning from failures. The students are exposed to the various challenges, complexities, dilemmas and possible ways to counter those in the realms of decision-making at the highest levels of organizations.

During the past few years, the PGPEX students have had the privilege of hosting speakers from various diverse sectors of the industry such as Banking, Finance, Defense, Retail, Power, Automotive and IT. A major advantage of these sessions is that it helps students develop a bridge between the theoretical concepts learnt in classroom and the realities of day-to-day governance in leading organizations. The interaction has also provided opportunities to students to talk to the speakers on sidelines and seek guidance on career and post MBA life. A common theme across all speakers is the emphasis on ethical decision making in an increasingly unforgiving corporate environment. Thus the complexities of doing business without compromising on core values are brought out very well through such interactions. It helps student gain a holistic understanding of how to tackle such challenges as future leaders and definitely adds to their armory as they embark on their journey as senior managers and business leaders post MBA.

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.

INDIAN INST ITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CALCUTTAPOST GRADUATE PROGRAM FOR EXECUTIVES 2015-16 52

Despite the day to day rigors of this one year programme, PGPEX students participate whole heartedly 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.

One of the new activities at campus this year has been the start of kayaking at some of the seven lakes the campus boasts of. Few of the PGPEX students have successfully cleared the eligibility tests to become the "elite" first Kayaking club members of IIM Calcutta. This year's annual sports event had PGPEX representation in various categories and many current batch students proved their mettle by winning multiple accolades too. Regular fitness freaks and joggers from PGPEX find haven in "Armageddon Club "which is dedicated to adventure freaks, trekkers and joggers. Few students stay with their families on campus in the family hostel. The spouses are welcome in the social events at 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 between their family members. The facilities at MDC, for the students who are living single on-campus, provide state of the art residential facilities with all modern amenities and is probably one of the best residential facilities at a management school in the country.

From the morning rush to the breakfast at the mess amidst occasional sightings of migratory birds to the late night study break dash to the all-night open Lake View canteen - from the nights spent in the corridors of the huge resourceful library to the morning cuppa coffee at the coffee shop before rushing to the morning class -a walk in the wee hours of the morning amidst the lush green trees to the evening tryst with your camera lenses to catch a beautiful sunset from campus amongst a quick break from study- Nature , activities, diversity and bonding make up the wholesome essence of a "life" at one of the oldest and premier management institutes in India- goes a long way in inculcating and experiencing true values of life and adds to the already existing world class pedagogy offered at the institute
