A Memorable First In-Campus Session for AI for Managers Batch-3 at IIMBx

Hello everyone!

We’re back with yet another exciting update from IIMBx. February 2025 was a particularly eventful month for us, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share the highlights with you. As many of you already know, our AI for Managers Batch-2 learners had their much-anticipated valedictory ceremony this month. But what made the day even more special? The fact that our AI for Managers Batch-3 learners had their very first in-campus session on the same day!

This wasn’t just a happy coincidence—it was a well-thought-out plan. We wanted our new batch to witness the celebratory atmosphere of the valedictory event and be inspired by their peers who had successfully completed the program. Seeing Batch-2 learners receive their certificates and bid farewell with pride and joy would undoubtedly serve as motivation for Batch-3 learners to stay committed and complete their journey successfully.

Behind the Scenes: Planning and Preparation

Of course, making sure everything went smoothly required meticulous planning. The IIMBx team put in a lot of effort to ensure a seamless experience, and special credit goes to Vijayalakshmi and Dimple for handling the intricate details. We had several rounds of meetings, strategized work allocations, and coordinated every aspect of the event to perfection.

The Big Day: February 15th, 2025

The much-awaited day finally arrived! We welcomed over 120 learners from AI for Managers Batch-2 for their last session, while 70 learners out of the 131-cohort of Batch-3 joined us for their very first in-campus experience, and the rest of them joined on Zoom to attend the session online. The excitement was palpable—Batch-3 learners were eager to step onto the IIMB campus and immerse themselves in the learning environment.

Their first session was with none other than Professor Dinesh Kumar, our program director. The day was structured into three engaging sessions. The first session involved an interactive discussion on a case study, led by Prof. Dinesh. The learners found it incredibly insightful and appreciated the deep dive into real-world applications of AI in management. The subsequent sessions were hands-on, allowing learners to apply their knowledge practically. The energy in the room was electric, with participants fully engaged and eager to learn.

A Smoothly Executed Event & A Fitting Farewell

Kudos to the entire IIMBx team for executing the event flawlessly! From coordinating logistics to ensuring the learners had the best possible experience, every detail was taken care of. The valedictory ceremony, scheduled for 6 PM, was a grand affair.

Since the sessions wrapped up before the ceremony, the Batch-3 learners had time to explore the IIMB campus, soaking in its vibrant atmosphere. Many took the opportunity to visit the IIMB store, indulging in some souvenir shopping to commemorate their first visit.

As the sun set, the valedictory event commenced. Batch-2 learners celebrated their achievements, sharing heartfelt reflections on their journey. The experience was inspiring for Batch-3, who left the event with renewed enthusiasm and determination to see their program through to completion.

 A Great Start & A Happy Goodbye

All in all, February 15th, 2025, was a day to remember—a wonderful beginning for AI for Managers Batch-3 and a proud farewell for Batch-2. Seeing the enthusiasm, camaraderie, and sheer excitement among the learners was incredibly fulfilling. We can’t wait to see how Batch 3 progresses.

Stay tuned for more updates, and until next time, happy learning!
