In today’s volatile and competitive economic environment, companies face an increasing need for skilled mid-level and senior executives who have the vision and potential to attain top leadership positions. While deep functional and operational expertise is a prerequisite for such executives, their success is also contingent on their ability to perceive and analyse a situation from multiple perspectives and take timely and effective action.

IIMB designed the EPGP specifically to prepare such forward-thinking and creative managers – the business leaders of tomorrow who will create value for their organizations as well as for society.

About The Programme

The Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM), launched in 2002 by IIMB, is a ‘one-of-its kind’ programme aimed at improving efficiency and leadership skills among policy-makers and administrators while exposing them to topical issues in management.

A mandatory requirement of the programmes is a two-week international immersion programme.

The participants also do a Rural Immersion which is designed to give them a chance to observe the rural economy closely, and appreciate the active cooperative, entrepreneurship and cultural movements in the villages. The 2017-18 cohort of the PGPPM spent three days with Deshpande Foundation India at their Hubballi Sandbox, Karnataka. They had extensive interactions with top executives of Deshpande Foundation (DF), Akshaya Patra Foundation, Agastya International Foundation and other NGOs engaged in resolving local issues.

The programme also requires the participants to submit a comprehensive policy paper highlighting their learning. The PGPPM ensures that participants graduate as well-rounded professionals; both from the perspective of public policy and general management – a unique combination that is very difficult to find elsewhere. PGPPM was extended to the non-government, ‘open’ candidates in 2008 and enables cross learning between participants from the private and public sectors.
