Jairaj Bhagat

Financial Controller-Ravago Shah Polymers,India

"In my quest of finding a quality institute that will add to my educational and teaching experience and enhance my profile to surpass the competitive requirements of today's dynamic business world, I found IIM Calcutta meeting my aspirations. I was planning to do the Executive Program in Applied Finance for quite some time and was excited and exhilarated when I got my admission letter for the IIM Calcutta. This Program is a very well-crafted program, which not only hones your skills but completely challenges your conventional wisdom. Continuous evaluation and challenging assignments helped me develop in-depth knowledge of the specific field pertaining to the subject of applied finance. Particularly the session on Technical analysis by Prof. Sudhakar Reddy was very interesting. It gave me an analytical mindset, which inculcated the ability to make creative rational business decisions. Thank you, IIM Calcutta, for the enrichment, the empowerment the enlightenment."

"My major apprehension while joining EPAF was whether this virtual classroom would be able to match face-to-face teaching. But actually, numerous modes of interaction with the instructors (mail, raise hand, poll, two-way audio-video, ..) makes the platform more interactive than a regular face-to-face class!"

Varsha Adhikari

Associate Professor-KIIT University

"The programme curriculum and discussions during the class were very helpful in my professional life. I really liked the interaction with the instructors and peers which helped in clarifying any doubts I had during the course. The course gave me an overall view of finance and improved my decision making ability. I could apply the knowledge gained in EPAF to my day to day work."
