There is a huge emphasis on infrastructure in India, Africa and other Asian countries. For example, investments of nearly INR 39 lakh crores are expected to be invested in urban infrastructure itself in the next 20 years. In the coming years, the industry needs good leaders who can understand the multidisciplinary challenges of the sector and drive the nation into the future. To fulfil that pipeline, mid-career professionals in the industry need to be equipped with the necessary skills and competencies relating to multiple disciplines: Strategic planning, finance, economics, law, social and environmental issues, public policy, and other subjects. This needs a structured programme of learning. The Advanced Management Programme for Infrastructure (AMPI) is being designed to cater to this need.

Programme Development

The design and delivery of the AMPI is a collaborative effort of the Indian School of Business’s Centre for Executive Education and the Punj Lloyd Institute of Infrastructure Management. Inputs and feedback from leading academicians and industry experts have been incorporated at the design stage to enforce academic rigour and to ensure that the programme is best suited to the needs of the infrastructure industry. The Academic Advisory Council gives academic oversight to the programme, and the Industry Advisory Council plays a crucial role by being the industry-academic connect to the programme.
