14th Batch of EPGP Begins at IIM Indore

IIM Indore EPGP: Indian Institute of Management Indore commenced the 14th batch of the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management – EPGP on April 11, 2022. Professor Himanshu Rai, Director, IIM Indore inaugurated the programme. Chief Guest Siddharth Sethi, Co-Founder – InfoBeans; Professor Saurabh Chandra, Chair – EPGP; and Professor Saumya Ranjan Dash, Dean – Programmes, and other faculty members were present on occasion. 59 participants (9 females and 50 males) with an average work experience of 8.95 years have registered for the programme, the institute informed.

While addressing the candidates, Professor Himanshu Rai shared three lessons he learned from his corporate and academic journey. Encouraging students to do hard work, the professor said, “If you continue to work hard, you will become ‘someone’ and reach ‘somewhere’ – but is that what you want? It is imperative to know your vision – what you wish to be – and then work towards attaining it.”

“Once you understand your purpose, you can identify your relationship with everything – the world, the people around, the society, nature, etc. This helps you to comprehend your obligations and responsibilities and boosts you to work in the right direction”, he further added.

“Figure out your true potential, enhance your ability, and have the willingness, for these will help you succeed. Hard work is not enough. Perseverance is the key. Even if you stumble and fail a couple of times, have the resilience to get up and start walking again,” he concluded.

According to the official press note, Siddharth Sethi shared his life journey with the new batch. He mentioned that he derives his ambitious behavior from his mother – who has always encouraged him to accomplish goals and move ahead in life.

Talking about the programme, Sethi said that it ensures the overall development of managerial skills in the classrooms and interactions with peers from diverse backgrounds with rich working experience. He advised the participants to dream big and keep learning. “I believe that one needs to keep learning, unlearning, and upgrading their knowledge. This helps you network with like-minded people and involve more people in your dream. A dream seen alone is just a dream, but a dream seen together is a reality,” Sethi said.

He noted that after graduation, this programme won’t only develop the participants into better managers but will also help them realize their potential and encourage them to contribute to their careers, society, and nation-building.
