Why did you choose PGP MAX programme?

I had deep technology experience but had very limited exposure to various functions in global business. To expand the horizon of knowledge and finetune my leadership skills, I chose to pursue an Executive MBA and my extensive research zeroed on PGP MAX at ISB. This programme gave me the luxury of continuing to work while I was learning from some of the best professors in the world in a classroom setting. One of the USPs was learning from the handpicked set of classmates from a diverse set of background, each highly successful and knowledgeable in their areas. I believe the curriculum is very well designed to give a rounded view of business and it is very rigorous to prepare you for the leadership role that demands 200% from you. Now, through with three quarters of the course, PGP MAX has been one of the best decisions in my life.
