Padma Shri Prof Shoji Shiba, a
world renowned Breakthrough
Management expert has been
guiding the process of
transformation of the Indian
industry. Globally he is best
known for developing the Five
Step Discovery Process for
Breakthrough Management
(BTM) and globalisation of TQM

I personally spent around four weeks with them transferring my experience, mainly in the field of problem
solving methodology initiated by me called Breakthrough Thinking.
During last 12 years, academia consisting of IIMC, IITK and IITM have created around 400 visionary leaders tailor made for
Indian Manufacturing Industry to enhance global competitiveness.
PGPEX VLM is a unique program coupling technical and management functions oriented intellectual inputs delivered by
renowned faculty of IIMC, IITK, IITM and Japanese experts from academia and industry.
Strengthening the curriculum with theories, tools and models of Breakthrough Management and Five Step Discovery process
supported by workshop oriented learning methods after factory visits in India and Japan, resulted skill development of the
participants of the program and change in mind-set from Small m to Big M.
Only people with consistently high academic records in different branches of Engineering and at least 4.5 years of prior
experience in manufacturing are allowed to participate in the admission process of this programme. The participants are
handpicked through a rigorous admission test and grueling personal interview in which they are tested for their ability to
learn as to how to transform the manufacturing sector in India.
I personally spent around four weeks with them transferring my experiences, mainly in the field of problem solving methodology
initiated by me called Breakthrough Thinking.
They also get excellent academic inputs at the three participating academic institutions, work on an exciting internship project
with the industry and go for a study trip to Japan. I have no hesitation in saying that this group of students, many of whom
have chosen to give up a settled job and career, have prepared themselves very well to be able to transform India's
manufacturing sector.
The success story of this unique program is evident from the rapid growth in career advancement with satisfactory salary
plus perks and increase in responsibilities in high positions in industry with due recognition.
The current batch of 40 students is indeed a source of potential visionary leaders in the making who will contribute the
development of Indian manufacturing. I urge you to participate in the placement process and give them a chance.
Shoji Shiba
(Padma Shri Awardee in 2012)

Breakthrough Management
The era of corporate management can be divided into three phases. The controlled management, (in vogue from 1930s)
which was top-down with mass production as its basis of existence. Next was the era of continuous and incremental
improvement, started in the 1960s, where the individual - the customer and worker - was the focal point. This is the Japanese
approach and is bottom up. The goal here is to satisfy the current customers and to achieve zero defects. But today,
organizations are forced to pursue radical business ideas that may even include changing the line of business or transforming
the business to become more innovative and powerful. They have to create a consumer segment which didn't exist earlier.
As product life cycles get shorter and competition fierce, Indian companies cannot rely on strategies focused on incremental
growth. Only breakthrough management strategies can give organizations some chance to compete. Does that mean that
the traditional management mantras such as core competence, reengineering are a passe? It appears so. If need be,
organisations have to forego the existing thought process
to jump to the next level. Core competency is a narrow
concept compared to breakthrough management; the
former is more concerned with technical strengths and
corporate culture. Similarly, diversification of business is
a move to protect against existing risk. Breakthrough
management does not think about existing risk. It is about
taking future risk. The key is to unlearn what is learnt and
learn new strategies. Controlled and incremental
management earns money by focusing on its current
customer. On the contrary, breakthrough management
anticipates the needs of the future customer.
This principle is applicable for all kinds of organizations - small, medium and big.

International Industry Visit Japan
The Japanese industrial achievements in the last five decades are not just attributable to its manufacturing technology, but
also to the Japanese culture and human values. It is about the cultural ethos of an entire nation. The sense of effective working
styles, simple communication and discipline is what has made Japan a true leader. True leaders of Indian industry have to
understand the subtle linkages between the management styles and the underlying cultural philosophy to be able to apply
these techniques to an emerging Indian scenario. A sense of these undercurrents will help the managers fit their management
styles to a form more suitable to the Indian socio-cultural ethos.
Visionary Leadership Program (VLM) cannot be complete without this enlightening journey. The VLM students get exposed
to the Japanese Manufacturing Philosophy - through interactions with Academicians, Industrialists and JICA, the representatives
of the Japanese Government.
The trip covers the cities of Nagoya and Tokyo. The students learn from the factory visits through Prof. Shoji Shibas Five
Step Discovery Process, imbibe the Japanese manufacturing culture and get constantly evaluated during their travel.
This year the trip covered visits to industry stalwarts like

Toyota, Suzuki and Sony. Students learnt Toyota Production
System, Visited Toyota Commemorative museum of industry
& Technology.
A Self-Initiated-Research (SIR) is also a part of the pedagogy.

Through the SIRs students make a comparative analysis
between Indian and Japanese best practices, in a chosen
context. The Topics of SIR are diverse, ranging from Can a
foreign national travel in metro with only visual signs? to
Comparison of types of shops around metro stations in sub-
urban areas of Nagoya city.

Corporate Reflection
I am impressed by the enthusiasm and drive of the VLM Programme students. During my session with them, the students were
able to draw on their past experience and relate it to the content that I shared. The program is building leaders for the future.
The competitive selection process, the academic rigor and the passion that the students demonstrate will help them reach
leadership positions.
Mr. Amish Thakkar
Director at Capgemini
I had the honour and pleasure of addressing the VLM batch of 2019 at IIM Kolkata in July2018. It actually turned out to be a
very engaging session. Some of the views brought up by the audience displayed their able insights in drawing connections
between the academics and practical scenarios from the manufacturing industry. Im looking forward to seeing all the good
that these next-gen leaders will do for the growth of manufacturing sector in India and wish them all the best for their future
endeavours.
Mr. Manish Manek
Plant Director at MG Motor India
The batch of PGPX VLM students is a mix of operating experience & is well suited for the better understanding of the application
of management principles. In my guest lecture on strategic management, I found it very much interesting for them as they
could find many linkages with their past experience. That made the class very interactive from both sides. I believe it had a
superior value addition for both sides.
Rajesh Kundu
VP, Hindustan Zinc
I am positive that this well structured program will provide professionals with the correct blend of experience, management
skills and capability to become future leaders of the Industry.
Sundaram Parthasarathi
Special Director, Ashok Leyland
It was my absolute pleasure to interact with the PGPEX VLM students earlier this week. I was very taken not only by their
calibre, but also their energy and enthusiasm. I was very pleased to learn more about your programme as it sounds like exactly
the sort of thing we need in the manufacturing sector.

Placement Process
Recruit on Campus
Companies are encouraged to visit the IIM Calcutta campus for the placement process, which includes
pre-placement talks and interviews. Interviews can be arranged on campus taking advantage of our
interview rooms or state-of-the-art video-conference facilities.
Notify a Job Description

At any time during the year, descriptions of career opportunities can be sent to pgpexvlm-
placement@iimcal.ac.in
Videoconferencing Services
Information sessions and real-time interviews can be conducted using our videoconferencing facilities,
if a recruiter is unable to visit the campus. Please contact either the placement executives or student
placement co-ordinators for assistance regarding scheduling and arranging for interviews/information
sessions.
Placement Process and Policies

At IIM Calcutta, we want recruiting our students to be easy and flexible. We also want to optimize your success
and deliver highest yield possible based on your offers and marketing efforts. With this in mind, we have outlined
a set of guidelines practised by organizations that tend to have the highest acceptance rate.
Unless explicit permission has been provided by the Placement Committee, participants are restricted
from approaching companies directly for individual placements. Companies are requested to interact
either through student placement representatives or executives of the Placement Committee.
Campus Visit Policy

Companies may visit the Institute before the scheduled placement days to conduct industry talks,
seminars and discussions. Following guidelines shall be applicable in this context :
Any on-campus activity which is not a part of regular academic curriculum is defined as company-
participant interaction. Companies can conduct a maximum of two interactions for PGPEX-VLM (slot
for interaction will be assigned on a first come first serve
basis)
All campus activities must be scheduled in conjunction
with the PGPEX-VLM placement committee.
A fixed joining fee per student is charged for the services
offered to the company throughout the course of
recruitment from the campus.
All placement charges should be settled within one month
of students joining the organization. The institute however
does not guarantee that the student will join the company
or will remain in the job for a specified duration of time.
Service taxes, if applicable, will be charged in addition
to the fees.

Communication
Recruiters are required to communicate the offer details to the PGPEX-VLM Placement
Committee in order to enable the Committee to streamline the placement process
for both recruiter and participant.
We advise our students to consider each opportunity as a long-term commitment and

to accept offers where they can make contributions over time. The placement committee
understands your need to finalize business planning and encourage students to make
their decisions as quickly as possible. We encourage you to stay in close contact with
the PGPEX-VLM Placement Committee throughout the recruiting season and offer
process so that we can ensure students are adhering to our guidelines and assisting
you with any helpful information.
Employers are expected to honour any offers they extend. If an offer must be rescinded,
employers should contact their account manager immediately to work out a positive
communication strategy.
Grade Non-Disclosure
PGPEX-VLM students have substantial work experience and have been admitted
through a rigorous evaluation of each applicant's educational background,
intellectual capabilities, professional experience and global outlook. Successful
completion of this programme at IIM Calcutta signifies each participant's
academic success, management potential and cultural awareness. The school
treats its students' grades as confidential information and therefore has adopted
a policy of grade non-disclosure.
The Placement Committee reserves the right to amend the rules/guidelines stated
above and will inform the companies of any changes accordingly.
Fee Structure
The institute would be charging the following fees to the companies
for each student who joins the company.
Recruitment Fee per Student

Global (Foreign) USD 3000
Indian INR 60,000
Placement Process
Begins from 1st Week of November

Campus Life

Substitute Experience
Paul Coelho
The urge to repaint the canvas of minds and absorb the

expanse of green patches of the campus brings out the best from
individuals. The environment makes even the toughest tasks
achievable in an atmosphere defined by excellence, the pursuit of
which starts at this monumental institute of par recognition, making
the challenges redundant at times.
The VLM class of 2018 boasts of students with wide range of interests and
participation across all the activities offered at the campus. The destination
is endless, the prospects unlimited and the journey untiring - is the core theme
of the hugely recognised B-school. The campus remains alive shuffling among
the rigours of events ranging from student clubs, cultural festivals, social and
sports activities. The steeping demand of academic rigour even could not
downsize the spirit of the noble minds who burn the midnight oil to keep the
spirits alight.
The students take part in some of the best clubs in IIM Calcutta and portray their
confidence and ability to lead and organize events, collaborating, participating
and preparing level fields for showcasing their inherent talents. Various
competitions ranging from negotiations to public speech to business proposals
gives a platform to the leaders of tomorrow to hone their skills and learn
from their peers. Going by the experience, the budding managers haveinterest
in Operations, Leadership and Entrepreneurship Cells and even the
mounting pressure from the long list of presentations, assignments,
projects, quizzes and mid-terms cannot deter them from joining hands
and participation in the activities. They can be found carrying out
discussion in library, working out in gymnasium and being agile
at the Badminton Court, Football ground, Basketball Court,
Cricket Ground, Table tennis room. The sports and club
activities inculcate a sense of belonging to community
and spirit to work as a team which shall see them
through, preparing them for the better part
of the steep challenges that awaits them
in future.
