Projects
PGPX consists of three project components totalling up to 135 sessions. Every student undertakes a faculty-
guided Individual Research Project (IRP) on a topic of his or her own choice. The International Immersion
Programme offers international exposure as well as an opportunity to consult on an industry-sponsored
project within or outside India. Finally, the programme culminates with the two-week Capstone Project which
places the students in simulated business environments, providing an opportunity to integrate their learnings
and experience for working in large, multidisciplinary teams under tight deadlines.
Individual Research Project
IRP provides students an opportunity to explore their passion while taking advantage of the rich and diverse
experience of the IIMA faculty network. Each of these projects results in one of the following:
• A business plan
• An industry note
• A company-specific case study
• A business plan on bridging the social divide
International Immersion Programme
The five-week International Immersion Programme (IIP) prepares students to take up challenging
assignments relevant to today's globalized business world.
During the first week of IIP, the students attend a custom designed programme at one of five reputed
international business schools which helps them understand the macro economic underpinnings of business
in that country. This year's students have a choice of attending Amsterdam Business School (Netherlands),
Chinese University of Hongkong (China), Columbia Business School (New York), Frankfurt School of Finance
and Management (Germany), or Warwick University Business School (UK).
During the next four weeks, each student undertakes a consulting assignment at a sponsoring firm around the
host country. Over the past two years, the list of sponsoring firms has grown to include Acumen Fund,
Cognizant Solutions, Delta Lloyd, Gridstone Research, IBM, Intel Capital, Kotak International, Microsoft,
naukri.com, NCDEX, OLAM, Tech Mahindra, Titan, Unilever, VSNL, Wipro Technologies, and Yes Bank. Some of
the projects executed by the first two batches of PGPX were:
• Developing strategy and a complete revenue model for a mobile remittance service in the US-Mexico
corridor
• Feasibility study for an international company to enter Indian markets
• Developing a framework for a company to evaluate its acquisition successes
• Devising a methodology for the implementation of activity based costing at a firm in the Middle East
• Developing a new product offering and market expansion for a financial services company
