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 today’s 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 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 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.

Dear Recruiter,

Welcome to the placement process of the Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPEX) at IIM Calcutta! PGPEX is a one-year general management program for experienced executives. The current batch comprises of fifty highly talented and motivated executives, who were working in India and abroad. The following points will help you get a glimpse of the talent pool in this batch:

This group of high achievers undergoes a very rigorous curriculum (810 hours of teaching, considerably higher than others). They also develop through a host of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. We, at IIM Calcutta, 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 seven batches have been offered leadership positions such as Director, Vice President and Senior General Manager in industries such as IT, Consulting, FMCG, Analytics, Automotive and so forth.

The students of the current batch have come from various industries such as Consulting, Technology, PSUs, IT Services, Financial Services, Power, Energy, Automotive and Manufacturing; and from functional areas such as Business Development, Strategy, Sales, Marketing, Project Management, Product Management, R&D and Operations. They will be ready to participate in the placement process in the coming weeks. I am confident that these talented individuals will be a major asset to any organization. In case you need any assistance or you have a query, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. My email ID is [email protected]. I’d be glad to be of any assistance to you.

BASF and SAP accentuated the understanding of German work culture and familiarized with innovative solutions employed by the German firms to overcome complex challenges. The networking events with Mannheim students provided the opportunity to learn from a tremendous group of professionals and build strong relationships while immersing PGPEX students in another culture.

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". It was designed to provide a high-level view of the economic, cultural and geo-political drivers behind countries integral to the Eurozone economy. Students attended classroom sessions from highly qualified faculty and got insights about European Economic & Monetary Integration, Marketing Strategy and Management in European Markets and International Management with German perspective. 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. Visiting companies like Daimler, Hager, German Central Bank,

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 CEO’s 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 company’s 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

Limitless LearningAt 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.

Being A CEOThe 'Being a CEO' series, organised exclusively for PGPEX students, offers a unique platform for the students to get a peek into the minds of industry titans. The objective of this series is to facilitate interaction of the students with

executives from the C-suite of organisations across industries. Each session provides a glimpse into the various facets that occupy a top executive's thoughts. The speakers' bring to bear years of leadership experience and enthralling war stories on matters as diverse as government regulations, people management, career changes and learning from failure. The students are exposed to the intricacies of decision making at the highest levels of organisations. A recent session by the Chairman and Managing Director of NTPC provided a fascinating insight into the mechanisms of a public sector undertaking, and the qualities required to succeed in such an environment. During the past few years, the PGPEX students have had the privilege of hosting speakers from Banking, Finance, Defence, Retail, Power, Automotive, and IT industries.

A major advantage of these sessions is that it helps students develop a bridge between the theoretical concepts learnt in the classroom and the realities of leading organisations. 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 students gaina holistic understanding of how to tackle such challenges as future leaders.


Life at IIM CalcuttaStudents at IIM Calcutta run a wide range of clubs and special interest groups (SIGs) in campus. These clubs and SIGs offer students to follow and explore their interests in professional, sports, social and creative fields. Despite the rigours of an intense One Year Program, clubs and SIGs have now become an integral part of PGPEX student life. The students of PGPEX - VIII have contributed using their work and life experiences to the clubs / SIGs and received appreciation from faculty and students alike. The PGPEX-VIII has representations in over a dozen different clubs / SIG, the cultural committee, the student council as well as in the IIM-Calcutta's basketball and cricket teams.

Participation in clubs include those related to the core business function clubs like the Operations club, Marketing club, Consulting club amongst others. However, it is not all about business and academics at the clubs, PGPEX students also have active participation in the other cultural and social clubs like the JBS BaroC, the OutThink club and the IIM Calcutta's own social and community action club, the INCA. PGPEX participants from the Colloquia club have organised and managed various talks, seminars and workshops by eminent personalities. PGPEX Students are also part of the organising committees of Intaglio, IIM Calcutta's annual international Business School summit, and Carpe Diem, IIM Calcutta's annual cultural fest. The PGPEX students are also active in sports and follow physically active and fit lifestyles. Students are part of IIM Calcutta's Cricket league teams, representing the campus at various inter-college competitions. The family members of PGPEX students also have a role to play in the campus activities.

The kids and other family members of PGPEX students presented a dance performance at the Independence Day function which received huge appreciation and applause by all the guests and faculty. The club activities compliment the pedagogy in instilling a strong sense of teamwork through various group interactions at different forums. These Club / SIG interactions include students from all programs of IIM Calcutta and gives PGPEX students a fresh perspective that adds to the experiences from their professional life.


Lattice is a platform that facilitates interaction between transformational leaders of Indian society and IIM Calcutta students. The business symposium aims to propagate the implementation of new ideas and thinking in the corporate world and the society. The symposium strives to provide meaningful coverage on current trends, opportunities and challenges in India. More information on www.latticeiimc.in

Today, as workforces are evolving and needs of employees are becoming more complex, the rules of management are becoming obsolete faster than we believe. To this end, this year's conference, to be held on November 7th-8th 2014, titled "Synergy of Youth and Experience: India's future" intends to explore such emerging cross generational issues and discover possible synergies amongst these seemingly polar groups which can benefit our organizations. Through the various guest speakers, panel discussions and other events we hope to discuss about what's troubling Indian organizations and focus on how today's populace can work together to realize our country's growth potential.

Lattice

2013 Lattice 2013, with the theme, "India - The Time Ahead" was conducted over two days in October 2013 with many different speaker sessions and panel discussions. We had the privilege to hear from media luminaries like Mr. Shekhar Gupta,Mr. Prashant Pandey about the state of media industry in India, personal experiences of entrepreneurs like Mr. E SarathBabu (Foodking), Mr. Ashish Chaturvedi (uFony) and speakers from various sections of the society discussing on the human cost of industrialization. These dialogues touched upon various economic, business and social aspects of future India and were enriched by the opinions of our respected speakers.

2012Lattice 2012, with the theme "Winds of Change",aimed to usher in a wave of new ideas amongparticipants who will go on to make a meaningful difference in the corporate world and the society as future change agents. The event turned out tobe a diverse mix of ideas from contributions fromthe eminent speakers such as Mr. M. Goutham Reddy, Executive Director, Ramky Group; Mr. Vijay Mahajan, Founder and Chairman of BASIX; and Mr. Aritra Sarkar, VP, Strategy of ABP Group.

2011Lattice 2011 had the central theme of "Innovations for India". A country as diverse as India is a meltingpot of cultures, languages, tastes and social andeconomic stature. This variety brings complexity and uniqueness. The good, the bad and the puzzling all exist in one frame, and that makes innovations all the more challenging. Lattice 2011 was an effort, as future business leaders, to understand, appreciate and contribute to theinnovations happening in India.

2010The theme of Lattice 2010 was "SociallyConscious Leadership" and was inaugurated byLt. Gen. J.S. Bajwa, UYSM, SM, the Chief of Staff of the Eastern Command, Indian Army and includedspeakers from Tata Motors, Peepli Live etc.
