Testimonials

"Im the Senior Vice President at Writer Corporation, Mumbai. My primary objective was to have different perspectives on marketing and finance, strategic decision-making, HR operational excellence, etc. And it is best to get it from subject-matter experts. So, I evaluated the programmes based on my interest and my area of focus, and this programme was best suited for me. The content was very good. The way the course was structured was crisp, to the point, and very well covered. The faculty was excellent, and some of the experts, like Professor Anirvan Pant, brought their unique perspectives to the table. Overall, Ive benefitted from this course in terms of further developing my conviction on various topics and having insights on which way to go, because very often in business, you deal with complex, ambiguous situations where you dont have a clear answer but you have to make business decisions. This course certainly helps you to think more maturely and make conscious decisions when you are faced or confronted with difficult issues."

"I belong to the cohort of LEAD 04 programme by IIM Calcutta. I started my journey in this campus a year back and I never thought that learning could be so easy, especially for a working professional like me who has a 33-year learning gap. LEAD is a one-of-its-kind advanced management programme that has enabled me to handle every business aspect strategically. I thank the programme directors for this opportunity, and I quite enjoyed the learning experience."

The program challenged me to reach the apex of my personal abilities and develop professionally. It gave me skill sets that I didnt have. It made me question what I want to do in my second act. I was ready to be an entrepreneur soon after this program."

"The IIMC Lead programme was an enriching experience as it made me understand whats next, as a person at the edge of taking up a leadership position. The professors made us feel like we were the CEO of the company. The 5-6 days campus visits were immersive and I could absorb a lot from there through interaction with peers. The sessions on various modules of the programme left me with lots of takeaways and it helped me look at everything differently."

"Choosing the IIMC Lead programme helped me in understanding what I have been doing well, what I had to improve and cured the dilemmas I had been facing as a manager. The campus visit was great and it helped me learn and unlearn a lot. I learned design thinking and the importance of interconnection between the corporate strategy, business strategy and functional strategy in obtaining the targeted results. The process of integrative learning that the course offered helped me in understanding that there are different approaches to the strategy and the execution piece."

"IIMC Lead Programme has empowered me as a leader, to take apt decisions during difficult situations with the help of IIMC professors and programme directors who were of high pedigree and great knowledge. The first campus visit took me back to my school days and the environment was indeed motivating with people who were curious to learn, experience and immerse themselves in this great pool of knowledge. I learned to think from a wider perspective using analogy and different decision metrics, figure out relations in terms of unrelated happenings that have happened in the past and bring those learnings to current problem solving, execute and solve situations through design thinking, etc."
