“The Executive General Management Programme at IIM Bangalore has been one of the most enriching experiences of my career. I came across the programme while exploring opportunities to strengthen my leadership and management skills, and it has truly been a turning point. The curriculum is a perfect mix of academic depth and practical relevance — every concept, case study, and discussion could be applied directly in my professional role.
The programme not only gave me a 360-degree view of business management — spanning strategy, finance, operations, marketing, and leadership — but also transformed the way I think and approach challenges. Learning alongside a diverse cohort of talented professionals exposed me to cross-industry perspectives and broadened my worldview. The interactive sessions with world-class faculty, combined with collaborative peer learning, helped me bridge the gap between being a functional manager and evolving into a strategic leader.
Personally, the journey has been equally rewarding. I have gained confidence to navigate complexity, make decisions with a holistic lens, and balance technology, people, and strategy seamlessly. The strong professional network I built here is an invaluable asset, and I now feel better equipped to take on larger leadership responsibilities in the future.

I discovered the Executive General Management Programme through one of my friends who had undertaken the course, while actively researching advanced business management courses to enhance my leadership skills and broaden my strategic perspective. The programme caught my attention for its strong reputation, world-class faculty, and a curriculum specifically designed for senior working professionals aspiring to understand and move into general management roles.
Throughout my learning journey, I was deeply impressed by the faculty and diversity of the peer group, which provided valuable networking opportunities and perspectives from varied industries. The highly engaging modules covered essential areas like business strategy, finance, operations, and organizational behaviour, all taught with a pragmatic approach that could be instantly applied in my work. The interactive case studies and business simulations made the experience both practical and intellectually stimulating.
Personally, I benefited tremendously from the programme. It empowered me with a holistic business acumen, improved my decision-making and strategic thinking capabilities, and equipped me with actionable leadership skills to handle cross-functional challenges confidently. The structured framework helped me align departmental goals with broader organizational strategy, and I feel much better prepared to tackle higher responsibilities and lead change initiatives. Thanks to EGMP for helping me to contribute meaningfully to my organization’s growth.

My EGMP journey has been extremely rewarding — from the diversity of my peer group to engaging case studies, simulations, and interactive sessions, each aspect added immense value. The faculty’s ability to connect academic rigor with real-world application was truly transformative.
The biggest benefit I gained from EGMP is a stronger strategic mindset, a broader business perspective, and sharper decision-making skills. The program not only enhanced my leadership approach but also expanded my professional network significantly.
In fact, the impact of EGMP was immediate — it played a key role in opening doors for me at Tata Electronics, where I recently joined as SCM PMO, reporting to the Head of Supply Chain. I would highly recommend EGMP to professionals aspiring to elevate themselves into strategic leadership roles.”

I came across the Executive General Management Programme (EGMP) at IIM Bangalore while exploring opportunities to strengthen my leadership and strategic thinking skills. The program immediately stood out for its holistic design, blending core areas such as strategy, finance, operations, marketing, and leadership into one integrated learning journey.
My time in the program has been transformative. Each module not only gave me new perspectives but also connected theory to real-world scenarios. Case studies, classroom debates, and peer learning helped me apply concepts directly to my professional challenges. Beyond academics, the program created an enriching network of peers from diverse industries—something I deeply value.
The biggest benefit for me has been the ability to think more strategically, make data-driven decisions, and connect business functions in a way that drives real value. It has strengthened my confidence as a senior leader and given me tools to navigate complex business problems with clarity.
For future applicants, I would say this program is not just about learning—it is about transforming how you think, lead, and engage with the world of business.
