Why PGPMAX
ISB’s name is synonymous with quality management education and
launching pioneering programmes. PGPMAX, the second Post
Graduate Programme in Management from the ISB, is designed
especially for fast rising senior executives who want to pursue
a formal quality management programme while they continue to
work.
Classroom Based Learning
PGPMAX participants have the exciting opportunity to be back in
the classroom among professional and intellectual peers, where
they share the challenge of learning new methods and means for
managing the business of doing business. Classes will be held at
the Indian School of Business (ISB) Hyderabad campus for 7 days,
every 6th week.
Classroom learning is at the heart of PGPMAX and is an important
component of the learning experience. The class comprises an
extraordinary and diverse mix of students who are passionate
about exchanging ideas, thereby leading to a very interactive
learning setting. The face-to-face delivery ensures optimal
learning, where participants get the benefit of the experiences
of their peers as well as instructors. This facilitates deeper
bonding and a stronger network.
Travel From Anywhere
The location of participants is not a constraint as the unique
schedule of PGPMAX allows participants based anywhere in the
world to travel to Hyderabad to attend the programme. Hyderabad
serves as an ideal location for this programme since it is
well-connected to all parts of the world, with flying times of
between 3 to 8 hours from most Asian and European cities. The
current class will see participants flying in from the U.S.,
South Africa, Nigeria, Japan and Sri Lanka, apart from various
cities in India.

No Opportunity Cost
Participants do not incur relocation costs and can continue
working while pursing the course. Since there is no relocation
involved, schooling of children and work schedules of spouses
are not disrupted.
Learn from Thought Leaders
Senior faculty from the ISB, industry leaders, and experienced
faculty from other global schools provide the latest in
management education, often conducting classes based on their
own, current research. They offer a unique combination of
research-based rigour and relevant real-world application that
is tailored for senior professionals. As a result, participants
take what they have learnt to their organisations and apply the
knowledge immediately.
International Immersion
The world is becoming increasingly global. Therefore, global
business sensitivities need to be reinforced. PGPMAX includes an
international immersion component, involving classroom teaching,
industry visits, and top-management interaction, which builds
these sensitivities and helps participants become global
leaders. Participants visit the U.S. and Brazil, where they
attend classes at leading global business schools, including
Kellogg School of Management, The Wharton School and FDC,
Brazil.
Exchange Programmes
PGPMAX participants have an opportunity to attend classes at
schools that ISB has partnered for exchange programmes.
Currently we have a partnership with Skolkovo - Moscow School of
Business.
Leadership Development
PGPMAX participants have access to resources that will help them
develop their leadership skills and realise their full
potential. The training helps participants to develop and
implement their leadership strategies. The programme includes
personality assessments and imparting of leadership skills. The
programme, however, does not offer campus placement services.
