THE PROGRAMME CHAIRPERSON

THE PLACEMENT CHAIRPERSON

Dear
Recruiter,

Visitors
to
the
picturesque
100
acre
institution
called
IIMA
get
a
chance
to

walk
through
a
unique
100-feet
underground
passage.

This
passage
not
only

connects
IIMAs
heritage
campus
to
its
new
campus
but
acts
as
a

permanently
open
100-feet
underground
photo
gallery
that
depicts
IIMAs

progress
from
its
inception
to
crossing
the
half-century
mark.

In
todays
fast
changing
world,
it
is
often
said
that
intelligence
is

increasingly
becoming
a
commodity
and
the
ability
to
learn
and
relearn
is
coveted.
Nothing
is
constant
except
change
itself.
With
our

PGPX
program,
the
intelligence
of
the
class
and
the
ability
of
these

professionals
to
deliver
is
a
given
and
learning
for
them
doesnt
end
at

IIMA.
As
we
celebrate
a
decade
of
our
highly
successful
PGPX
program,

I
have
witnessed
for
myself
how
the
program
has
shaped
out
to
be
a

crucible
where
the
experience
and
realism
is
blended
with
the
best
of

management
learning
that
the
country
can
oer.
This
yields
talent
that

is
worthy
of
leading
the
Indian
industry
in
the
years
to
come.

Within
the
class
of
85
students,
I
am
sure
you
will
nd
the
specic
mix
of

technical
knowledge,
functional
experience,
industry
background
and

leadership
traits
that
you
are
looking
for
in
your
leaders
of
change.

It
gives
me
great
pleasure
to
introduce
the
PGPX
Class
of
2016
to
you.

Professor
Sunil
Maheshwari

This
unique
gallery
is
an
embodiment
of
the
IIMAs
character

seamlessly

connecting
Indias
business
heritage
to
the
new-age
management
practices.


By
harnessing
the
accumulated
knowledge
of
about
300
former
faculty

members
over
the
last
half
century
and
anchoring
the
knowledge
base
of

about
100
current
faculty
members
into
it,
IIMA
has
turned
itself
into
an

academic
colossus.

Today,
graduating
from
this
colossus
has
become
the
rite

of
passage
for
the
would-be
successful
young
managers
and
entrepreneurs.
Dear
Recruiters,
Welcome
to
IIMA!

It
gives
me
immense
pleasure
to

introduce
to
you
the
85-member
strong
contingent
of
executives
that

constitutes
the
class
of
PGPX
2015.

These
executives
were
selected
through
a

rigorous,
internationally
conducted
admissions
process
that
included

leadership
proling,
personal
interviews
and
a
highly
competitive
average

GMAT
score
of
706.

The
candidates
have
an
average
work
experience
of

about
10
years
and
despite
being
away
from
school
for
a
reasonable
period
of

time,
they
have
gone
through
a
highly
demanding
academic
programme

and
the
intellectual
rigour
of
IIMA.

The
programme
design
is
based
on
a

vigorous
debate
that
brought
out
the
best
from
corporate
executives
and

IIMA
faculty.


Through
my
engagement
with
the
programme
in
my
capacity
as
the

Placement
Chair,
I
have
followed
the
academic
progress
of
the
PGPX

executives
very
closely.

I
can
condently
say
that
they
are
the
best
in
the

business.

It
is
no
surprise
that
PGPX
has
been
consistently
ranked
either
rst

or
second
worldwide
in
terms
of
Career
Progression
by
Financial
Times.


Come,
visit
us
and
harness
the
rich
experience,
commitment,
integrity
and

the
management
skills
of
executives
that
we
have
nurtured
here
at
IIMA.

For
Bharti
Airtel,
2013
was
the
first
time
we
came
to
IIMA
PGPX.
It
was
a
delight
to
meet
a
group
of
experienced
professionals,
who

had
made
the
choice
to
undergo
a
rigorous
PGPX
programme
at
IIMA.
We
found
in
them
an
urge
to
relaunch
themselves,
and
a

burning
ambition
to
get
back
to
work
and
excel.
The
placement
team
went
out
of
the
way
to
present
the
batch
credentials
in
a
very

impressive
manner.
Today,
all
the
PGPX
hires
are
handling
exciting
roles
in
IT,

and

I
find
PGPX
participants
exceptionally
high
on
global
mind-set,
leadership
acumen,
and
structured
decision

As

it
is
imperative
that
organizations
recruit
people
having
strong
global
business

The
fact
that
PGPX

chose
to
hone

after

substantial

experience
shows
their

commitment
for

It

that

are
capable
of
adding
immense

My
sole
reason
for
joining
the
PGPX
was
to
get
ready
for
the
corporate
world.
The
rigour
of
the

course
and
the
contributions
from
the
faculty
and
peers
ensured
that.
In
retrospect,
however,
I

fell
that
the
more
important
value
adds
were
in
terms
of
developing
a
sensibility
to
learn
to
live

with
ambiguities
and
a
structured
approach
of
decision
making
based
on
reasonable

assumptions
and
validating
those
assumptions,
during
and
after
implementation.

under
the
supervision
of
the
faculty
through
a
process
that

optimizes
the
interests
of
both
the
students
and
the
companies.
The

committee
gets
involved
in
the
process
right
from

corporate
interactions

pre-placement
talks

and
coordinating
activities
during
placement
process.
There
are
two
main
placement
activities
on
campus:

Pre-placement
Talks
(Corporate
Presentations)

2
rounds)
enable
organizations
to
inform
students
about
companys
business,
work
culture,

organizational
structure,
career
and
growth
opportunities.
We
recommend
a
30-minute

Q&A
