Program Overview

The corporate landscape of this day and age has changed in several significant ways. Talented young professionals are being presented with the opportunity to take on senior roles and are given managerial responsibilities quite early in their career. In addition to this, many of them work for startups and SMEs that require them to have a more holistic understanding of businesses in addition to technical knowledge. With a steep learning curve to handle, young leaders frequently struggle to make informed decisions and, as a result, often doubt their own abilities. That’s where we come in. IIMB, with its close association and interaction with industries over the last four decades, understands this challenge and has created a unique programme for the young leaders of today. The programme provides them with a strong foundation in management and gives them the confidence to vault the inevitable hurdles that arise in every successful career.
