Dear Recruiter,
Greetings from IIM Calcutta!
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to the placement activities of our Institute.Through the pages of this brochure you will get a broad overview of our programme,activities and the placement process.
We started the Post Graduate programme for Executives (PGPEX) in 2006 and today theprogramme is in its tenth year. Faculty members and other stakeholders of the Instituteenvisaged the need of starting a specialized full time programme, designed to select andincubate people with exceptional intellectual and leadership potential to meet today'sglobally challenging business environment where they can remain competitive by thinkingstrategically and tactically. We have also tried to keep the curriculum updated keeping inmind this changing business environment, and have recently restructured the PGPEXcurriculum, which was made operational from the Academic Session 2015-2016. Individualresearch projects, introduction of pre-work and workshop modes of teaching, live projectswithin a course have been encouraged in the revised curriculum. In 2014, the PGPEXstudents with their rich and diverse domain experience launched the first edition of thePGPEX online newsletter, "PGPEX Business Review".
The school has taken the initiative to earn accreditation from top global agencies. TheInstitute has recently received the AACSB accreditation, one of the most coveted amongB-schools, which has been earned by less than five percent of the world's businessprogrammes. It takes a great deal of self-evaluation and determination to earn AACSBAccreditation and an international accreditation gives us recognition that we are doingfundamentally well. In addition to AACSB, IIM Calcutta has also received accreditation fromAMBA in March 2014 and very recently, the EQUIS Accreditation Board at its meeting inBrussels, Belgium, has awarded the EQUIS Accreditation to IIM Calcutta for a period of threeyears.
Thus now we have become the first Indian business school to achieve the 'Triple Crown'in accreditation, i.e. accredited by all the three major accreditation agencies in the worldfor management education - AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. Through accreditation, IIM Calcuttahas not only met specific standards of excellence, but also made a commitment to ongoingimprovement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver high quality educationto its students.
I welcome you to read this booklet to know more about the PGPEX Programme,

Faculty Speak
It was truly a delight teaching the PGPEX Classof 2017! They have high energy, a positiveattitude and initiative, both in the classroom,and outside of it. In class, the students displayeda keen interest in learning and contributing todiscussions and case analyses. In addition toclassroom learning the students have plungedinto campus activities and made their presencefelt, be it on the sports field, business casecompetitions or in undertaking social initiatives.For me, these qualities indicate good leadershippotential!
Leena ChatterjeeProfessor, Organizational Behavior
PGPEX classroom interaction is one of the mostrewarding experience at IIM Calcutta. Thecontribution of the participants in the classdiscussion and peer learning is a significantcomponent in their academic process. This islargely due to the rich diversity of their industrybackground that adds to the rigor of theclassroom experience. The level of engagementis very different in a PGPEX classroom. Iinteracted with this class on a course onOperations Management. It was amazing to learnthe clarity of thought process, the robustnessin their ideas and decision-making approach,and overall willingness to contribute to thelearning.
Peeyush MehtaProfessor, Operations Management Group
Teaching in the PGPEx programme is always apleasure for the flexibility it offers to customiseour courses and class discussions to leverage onthe diverse and rich work experience of thestudents across a wide spectrum. The mix ofprofessions in the classroom is fascinating at times,predisposing me to listen more than teach forgenerating a fruitful and intellectually challengingdiscussion.Students generally appear to have made aninformed decision being at career crossroads,about being in the programme. They thereby, exhibitgreater desire to learn and equip themselves withthe tools to be business leaders of tomorrow.

Today's contemporary business management mandates upon the young industry leaders to harness a globaloutlook and greater understanding of work environment in diverse cultural settings. As a part of PGPEX curriculum,students participate in an international immersion program through a partner B-School in an organizing country.This year 35 students from the PGPEX 10th batch went through this program for two weeks on “Doing Businessin Germany” at Mannheim Business School in Germany.The program was designed to give participating students an introduction into the European economy, variousreasons behind Germany’s rise within and outside Europe and various cultural, and geopolitical drivers that areintegral in understanding current economics in Europe.Students attended sessions driven by highly qualified faculties with the special focus on European economicintegration, international business management with German perspective, marketing and operational strategiesof European firms and how German Mittelstand companies are reviving German economy. The learnings in theclassroom were further reinforced by experiential learning through visits to organizations such as – SAP Bosch,German Chamber of Crafts and Academy and hidden champions of German SME industry such as Hager andKärcher. These industry visits allowed students to get an insight into German business best practices, organizationwork culture, new and emerging technical adaptations in German organizations and how these approaches areemployed to resolve complex challenges.Participating students also got ample opportunity to interact with multiple German business leaders. Networkingevents with students further provided an opportunity for peer learning and build a strong relationship with thoseprofessionals. Through such activities students could grasp some important and compelling socio-culturalaspects of “Doing Business in Germany”.The immersion program thus helped students to transform their ideas and business perspectives about workingin a competitive global environment and would go a long way in helping emerge as successful leaders in theindustry.

Immersion programme being an important part of the PGPEX curriculum gives students an opportunity to getexposed to other global universities. This year, 33 students of PGPEX visited Foster School of Business, Universityof Washington at Seattle for a 2-week module on “Global Strategy and Leadership”. Fosters is a 98-year oldbusiness school and ranked number one in northwest by US News and World Report in 2015.
The program started with a discourse on marketing in a cross cultural context and the challenges associatedwith it. This was followed by organizational strategy. The intense case discussions charged and propelled thestudents to explore why firms succeed and why firms fail.
Proximity to the industry is an advantage in Seattle. Students had the opportunity to walk into a next generationretail store and witness how technology is being harnessed to improve customer experience. Students visitedBoeing, Paccar, Microsoft and Costco wholesale. The visits helped students understand some aspects of howthese companies have established and maintained their business leadership. These companies have executedtheir business strategy and operational efficiency in different areas without diluting their customer centricapproach. Executives of these companies reiterated the importance of values and organizational culture increating a formidable position. The executives also discussed how globalization in business and disruptivetechnologies has impacted their decision making in various ways.
While the first week was about business and organizations, the second week was about an individual. The leadershipseries enabled every participant us to recognize their decision-making style. Things crescendoed in the talk oninnovation and creativity as students learnt on how to overcome the forthcoming challenges in an innovative andoptimal way. The 2-week programme also made students more culturally aware and introduced an element ofcultural sensitivity for decision making in a global business environment.

Alumni Speak
The time spent at IIM Calcuttaduring the PGPEX program hasprepared me be a global leaderin an ever-changing andchallenging business world.Through case studies, simulations,projects and group assignments,I exce led in exerc i s ingmanagement skills, analyzing
business issues and making difficult business decisions.The academic and personal experiences on campushave left me with practical and invaluable life lessons inleadership.
This program is a journey full of extreme rigor and onethat forms a solid foundation for a set of guiding principlesessential to responsible leadership. The IIM educationhas given me access to an unprecedented network ofhighly successful global leaders and entrepreneurs thatI value a lot. I owe it to my wonderful professors,institutional authorities and peers who made this lifeexperience a memorable one.
Ashish RastogiClass of 2013Associate Vice President,GAVS Technologies, Chicago
In 2011 , I was HeadOperations (VAS) - TTKHealthcare Services PrivateLimited. Harbouring anambit ion to manage abusiness in the long run, itmade sense, then, to leverageon an internationally reputedbusiness management course
which would provide an opportunity to interact witha diverse student body with substantial years ofexperience.
The IIMC PGPEX changed my perspective of lookingat a business and its environment. It introduced meto new and innovative management tools andtechniques and their situational relevance. Moreover,in this ever changing world, it instilled a critical habitof consistently learning new things. Being able tocall on globally reputed professors or working thestrong, IIM-C alumni network are assets ofconsiderable value.
Amit RayClass of 2013Director & Country Head, Excellence in People PrivateLimited
Being selected for the PGPEXprogram was dream come true forme. PGPEX program was instrumentalin transforming my "frog in the well"mindset. The program expanded myknowledge horizons and helped meto think big. The program gave mea 360? view and enhancedunderstanding of various aspects of
businesses. It also contributed vastly to honing myunderstanding of the various components of strategy. Icherished the campus experience and benefitted from thediversity of my batch. My family also enjoyed the campusenvironment and blended well with the families of mybatchmates.
Post the program, a lot of avenues and roles that otherwiseI would not have had access to have opened up.
Suket Niranjan GandhiClass of 2010Customer Success Director,Minjar Cloud Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
I had 11+ years of experiencein Business development,Client management andGrowth strategy before joiningI IMC PGPEX program.Program gave excellentexposure to finance, strategy,marketing, operations etc. Ina way, I acquired skills and
knowledge for running any business function of anorganization. The key differentiator of PGPEX is thediversity of student experience which makes classdiscussions very enriching and enjoyable. It's a verywell managed program with a very collaborativelearning environment. Apart from academics, I hadgood time playing tennis and participating in IIMCmusic club & social sector focus events. With my wifeand 2 kids in campus, it was best of-both-world forme. We truly made lifetime friends and will cherishthe memories for years to come. PGPEX has createdtremendous positive impact and has opened a worldof opportunity for me. I highly recommend PGPEXprogram - It a remarkable experience!
