"This programme has actually been curated in a manner for us to focus on communication as well as making sure that we utilize the strategies in building a stronger communication capability while working on negotiations, as well as making sure that we utilize these skills and communicate the brand proposition the way that we wish to. This was very nicely done in 6 months while making sure that we start with two campus immersions. The first immersion was to know our peers and get along pretty well in terms of programme and the second campus immersion has actually added to our stronger bonding. This Programme, I feel is for people who want to utilize communication as a channel for building a better branding for themselves as well as for their organization."

"I manage a large team and it has been always a challenge to define, envision and communicate in a very short period. What happens is that nowadays, when there is a lot of work there is limited interaction time. So we have to communicate the right message and set up the purpose for people in a very short time. A lot of stakeholder management, negotiation and other things also happen at the same time. My aim here was to learn and improve my skills so that we could create a higher impact in terms of the vision, purpose, results, etc. in the organization. We started with how you define communication technically and what are the different parts of it, whether it is storytelling, negotiation, or conflict management, or where it was an intercultural scenario where we talk across continents. So what it gave me was the framework where it helped us in understanding how you should go ahead and talk in a different scenario, whether you're talking to an external customer or an internal customer or you are interacting with the vice president or you are interacting with the engineers who report to you or with your sideways team."

"IIMC has just not been an experience but it is a dream come true. I always wanted to be a part of this prestigious institute and today am a proud alumnus of the Executive Programme in Communication Strategies for Corporate Leaders batch 02. During the pandemic, did I hardly think I would take the leap and join a course. I am a communication professional, and I wanted to learn something surrounding the same when I came across this course. The course modules were absolutely well designed, and the professors' delivery made the classes engaging and cross-learning platform. The course not only helped in enriching knowledge but also provided a platform to network with a wide range of professionals from various fields. This course has helped me in understanding the brand credibility and has sharpened my communication skills through better negotiations and argumentations. This course is definitely the right choice for corporate leaders where one can apply the knowledge gained through practical applications."

"The 9 months journey with IIM Calcutta, finishing the Executive Programme in Communication Strategies for Corporate Leaders was a fantastic learning experience. Our program directors Prof. Pragyan Rath and Prof. Apoorva Bharadwaj kept us on our toes through this learning journey. Thanks to all the other professors too, who added different flavours to this entire course. The real life examples and anecdotes shared, the new concepts I got exposed to and just the sheer energy and enthusiasm the other participants brought to the table, meant our Saturday mornings were a fun filled educational exploration. The network I personally built over these few months is invaluable and my biggest take-away, apart from the enriching learning. Being an alumni of such a reputed institution is an honour as well as a responsibility. As a Brand Ambassador of IIM Calcutta, I will do my best to uphold this long and proud legacy."
