From the Director’s Desk
Dear Recruiter,

It is my pleasure to introduce to you the PGPX class of 2011.

Launched in the summer of 2006, the PGPX is a one year, full time Post Graduate Programme
in Management for Executives. PGPX students undergo the rigorous, broad based academic
process IIMA is renowned for. The programme moulds experienced professionals into
managers who fit naturally into middle and senior executive roles. The profile of this batch is
comparable to those at the best business schools across the globe in terms of cross-cultural
work experience, knowledge and depth of experience.

The graduates from the first four batches of this programme have been absorbed enthusiastically
by industry for various C-suite and other senior level executive positions, both domestically and
internationally. It is very heartening for us to note encouraging feedback from recruiters who
cite an excellent combination of professional expertise and mid-career specialization in our
students which is uncommon in India.

I am confident that within the PGPX class of 2011, you will find highly motivated individuals who
have the right skills, temperament and experience to add maximum value to your organization.
