The Indian Institute of Management, IIM Bangalore is launching the 71st cohort of its most popular program for working executives called the Executive General Management Programme (EGMP) at Pune. This programme is specifically designed for working professionals residing in Pune and neighbouring cities.

The EGMP is a part-time programme designed for experienced professionals. Spanning 10 months, it offers a rigorous curriculum delivered through a unique blend of in-person sessions at IIM Bangalore, in-person sessions in Pune itself, and live online modules. This flexible format minimises travel and accommodation costs while ensuring participants receive the same high-quality education from IIM Bangalore.

This marks a significant expansion of IIMB's Executive Education offerings, making its renowned management programme more accessible to a wider audience.

With a legacy of over 5,000 successful graduates, the EGMP equips participants with the latest management concepts and practical skills they can immediately apply in their careers.

The programme is ideal for mid-career professionals aspiring to senior management roles.

The selection process is based on the years of experience, the quality of experience, educational background, and diversity-related metrics. The minimum eligibility is graduation with a minimum of 5 years of industry experience.

On the successful completion of the programme, participants are granted the IIM Bangalore Executive Education Programme Alumni status that allows them to be a part of the vibrant global IIMB alumni network.

S Parthasarathy, the Chief Programme Officer, of Executive Education Programmes remarked, "Pune is the hub for reputed manufacturing units, IT companies, GCCs, and the armed forces, but professionals in Pune do not have access to high-quality management programs from globally renowned B-Schools. This initiative from IIMB will help working executives in Pune consume a world-class programme." He also mentioned that EGMP alumni are doing very well in their chosen fields of work and form an active part of the larger alumni network.

Professor Padmini Srinivasan, Chairperson of Executive Education said, "IIM Bangalore has been at the forefront of creating an impact through its Executive Education Programmes. The idea is to reach out to more working executives in other cities and this initiative is the first step in that direction. The programme has been well-designed for the present and future requirements of the industry."

The last date to register for the programme is October 7, 2024, and the programme commences on November 4, 2024.
