Why did you choose PGPMAX programme?

With 16+ years of global experience, I have been steadily realized that there is more to business leadership beyond client-program-technology management. I looked at PGPMAX to effectively bridge those critical business skill gaps and help me take up an executive role.

Few years back, my employer restructured internally, creating new business units to offer hyper-specialized solutions to grow at scale. Post PGPMAX, I intended to head one such business unit by refining offerings, exploring new markets, and partnering new alliances. With global perspectives, strong alumni and industry connect at ISB, I envisage growing this business globally at scale.

In 2021, I have been promoted as Vice President to lead business unit couple of years ahead than I earlier thought. Among several other factors, my decision to pursue PGPMAX at ISB has strongly swayed my employer’s decision in my favor.
