The Indian Institute of Management Indore (IIM Indore) has consistently sought to develop leaders who combine intellectual rigour with sound judgement, professional excellence with a strong sense of responsibility, and ambition with purpose. The Executive Postgraduate Programme in Management (EPGP) embodies this commitment through a rigorous, immersive, and industry-oriented learning experience designed for experienced professionals. The 18th EPGP cohort brings together 58 accomplished professionals with an average of around seven years of work experience, representing diverse industries, functions, and professional journeys. This diversity enriches the learning environment, enabling participants to challenge perspectives, exchange experiences, and develop a broader understanding of organisations, markets, and leadership.

The programme’s emphasis on strategy, analytics, experiential learning, industry engagement, and international exposure further equips participants to approach complex business challenges with clarity and confidence. Today, organisations need leaders who can connect strategy with execution, make informed decisions, collaborate across boundaries, and create sustainable value. The EPGP prepares professionals for precisely these responsibilities by building on their existing experience while broadening their managerial perspective and strengthening their analytical, strategic, and leadership capabilities.

I am delighted to invite our esteemed recruiting partners to engage with the 18th EPGP cohort for final placements. These professionals bring not only substantial industry experience, but also the intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and leadership maturity required to take on larger and more complex responsibilities. I am confident that like our previous EPGP cohorts, these professionals will contribute fresh perspectives, strategic insight, and meaningful business impact to their organisations. We look forward to welcoming our industry partners to campus and continuing our valued association in creating opportunities for meaningful collaboration and mutual growth.
