About Programme

The EPGM program is designed for young professionals across various industries and functions. It provides participants with the foundational skills, core concepts, and tools and techniques essential to successfully manage in today’s complex and dynamic global environments. Individual courses provide participants the skills needed to work cross-functionally within the organization. The knowledge gained from the programme will be a solid foundation in managing one’s role with a holistic perspective. Participants are also exposed to the digital and emerging technological trends needed for managing their careers and business in a rapidly changing business environment. This is an entry-level management program, meant to provide foundational exposure to emerging managers and those taking their first steps in the managerial journey within organizations.

EPGM will also have an exclusive “Leadership Talk Series” which will feature 2-4 industry speakers giving special invited lectures on contemporary management topics. This will make the program more immersive for the participants as they will have the chance to hear from industry experts and interact with them outside of regular program lecture hours. These talks will be announced well in advance and are not included in the program hours but are highly recommended for the participants to gain useful insights into the dynamic management discipline and hear first-hand experiences from practitioners. These may be held online or offline depending on the availability of the speakers.
