The last decade has been a period of transition, continuous learning and adaptation for most companies across all industries in India , as there has been fierce competition from both within the country and outside. The Indian industry and economy finally seems to have come into its own and is moving at faster pace to overtake the objective of double digit GDP growth. Environmental factors like the emergence of India as a global outsourcing destination and increasing consumer confidence have all contributed to transforming the business scenario.

Gearing up to face such an environment will require visionary leadership skills, innovative ideas, swift implementation and a Darwinian survival instinct. I feel, we Indians have some of the best talent to meet the requirements of today's corporate world and we at INDIRA would like to take the lead in imparting the necessary skills and knowledge essential to excel in this environment.

At Indira our endeavor is to provide you with an exceptional faculty team which will guide you through a very comprehensive and enlightening experience. As a part of Indira, you will explore proven methodologies, develop new ways of thinking about strategy and finance models, and view economic development and industry trends from a global perspective. Along with a diverse group of elite peers, you will find yourself immersed in interactive lectures with renowned faculty, insightful case studies, and self-assessment exercises. You also will gain invaluable international experience and exposure as the program begins and you are exposed to the various Institute - Industrial interface that Indira has. I hope you have a very fruitful two years at Indira.
