Alumni Views on the International Immersion 

IMT PGDM Executive alum Vineet Sreedharan, currently leads the Business Process Re-engineering and Knowledge Management verticals in the IT department at Trident Group, a billion dollar textile conglomerate.

“The immersion program is a game changer as it provides an experience of living a culture that was hitherto unknown to us. Apart from broadening our understanding of the world around us, it also teaches us various facets of cross-cultural collaboration and connects with technologies and practices that are still to be implemented large scale in our country”

He has an overall work experience of 6.5 years with a special focus on strategizing and implementing digital transformation projects, describes the international immersion as the “cherry on top for the 1.5-year course”.

“It was an approximately 40-day program as part of the international immersion term and thanks to IMT’s strong network and partnership with the best B-schools in the world, we managed to visit a fantastic business school called EM Normandie, in Normandy, France,” he said.

“Six courses were included in the program, which included cross-cultural visits to important places in and around Normandy such as Etretat and Mont Saint-Michel. Since the costs were included in the course fee and IMT helped take care of the Visa and stay formalities, it helped us a lot during the travel and transition to an international environment,” he added.

“The course was well structured and taught by eminent faculty from the school. There were well-placed breaks in between, which allowed us the opportunity to explore a few more countries around France, such as Spain, Belgium and Netherlands,” he said.

Asked about his favourite course in the international immersion, Vineet said two courses practically stood out. These were Brand Management by Prof Olivier Kovarski, Director of Executive Education & Associate Professor in Marketing and ‘Doing Business in Europe’ by Prof Eleonore Mendel, lecturer in Intercultural Marketing and Management and a Consultant in cross-cultural marketing.

Asked about the takeaways from the immersion experience, he said, “The immersion program is a game changer as it provides an experience of living a culture that was hitherto unknown to us. Apart from broadening our understanding of the world around us, it also teaches us various facets of cross-cultural collaboration and connects with technologies and practices that are still to be implemented large scale in our country.”

“For example, we got to witness the best of eco-friendly transport such as the large scale preference for cycles at Bruges and Amsterdam and the best implementation of smart cities through the use of smart cards at Barcelona,” he said.

Vineet said the exposure to international students and working methods “changed our understanding and helped us appreciate the importance of several things. These include punctuality–how Europeans treated time as money and how essential it is to be on time at the right venue in the right manner.

“Secondly, the work-life balance–how necessary it is to close work so that adequate time could be spent at home with loved ones. Thirdly, environment consciousness-reducing wastage and promoting environment-friendly ways to commute,” he added.

Asked about what advice he would give to students to make the best use of international immersion, he said, “Keep all inhibitions aside and fully soak yourself in the international immersion program, it is always worth it. And a word of caution. Respect the country’s rules as well as give equal importance to learn too, as there would always be a lot of takeaways that you gain.”

For MBA aspirants and current students, his message is to be “A constant learner lifelong and constantly upgrade your skills. Technology is adapting at a fast pace and we must learn to keep up with it.

“You have to keep networking with people, share your knowledge and help them through good deeds as a way of giving back to the world.

Alumni Views on the PGDM Executive Program

Vineet Sreedharan, endorses the program for three reasons.

First, for the “wonderfully structured course curriculum”, secondly for the affordability of the program, which included one international term and thirdly, for “a fantastic faculty team and alumni network.”

Another alum, Piyush Singh, Chief Manager, Credit cards at Kotak Mahindra Bank, was in the PGDM Executive, Marketing & Information Technology 2012-13 batch.

He regrets that the international immersion facility was not there at that time, but is full of praise for the program.

Prior to enrolling for the program, Piyush, who had completed his B Tech. Production Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Surat in 2003-07, had worked as Associate System Engineer, IBM Global Services and as Senior analyst at Cerillion Technologies.

After completing PGDM, he joined ICICI bank through campus placement. About why he chose the one year program and IMT, Ghaziabad he said, “Preparing for MBA, I got decent CAT scores and looked at various options in the market. A few of my friends had done the two-year program at IMT and liked it. Since I had 5 years of work experience, a two-year program (mainly for those without work experience) would not have been suitable for me. So I chose the one year program.

“It is academically well designed, very intensive and a really good learning experience. Apart from studies, there were plenty of extra-curricular activities. I enjoyed the time spent over there and made good friends,” he added.

“It is a good opportunity for people looking to diversify their job. If you have some 5 plus years’ experience, it will help in changing over to a different work profile. You can go into the management stream and increase your salary compensation as well,” he added.

Debanjan Sarkar, 29, is having Information Technology as elective. He has around 6 years experience in IT industry as a part of the Quality Assurance team.

Kedge Sports Consulting

For Paul Bisiaux, Pauline Manousso and Orianne Offerle at IMT on an exchange program from Neoma Business School near Paris, France, India was quite an experience. Apart from attending classes at IMT, they participated in cultural activities, including the Onam celebrations at which they dressed up in Kerala Sarees, the men in ‘Mundu’ and shirt and participated in a typical Kerala Sadya (feast) served in banana leaf.

Pauline was amused that while Indian students remained passive in class, they worked a lot at home to get good grades in the exam. Paul says while in France, people work during the day, he found in India, they worked during the nights too. “So, we had to wait till midnight or one in the morning to get feedback on the projects,” he says.

How the PGDM (Executive) Program Structure Helps Learning

How do these help students?

The foundation is laid at the beginning of the program with students learning the basic management principles through the core subjects. Customization allows the students the freedom to choose a specialization by way of electives. While the PGDM (Executive) is essentially a General Management Program, in the fourth term, you get to pick one from among four specializations. These are Marketing, Information Management, Operations & Supply Chain Management and Human Resources Management.

Past participants are full of praise for the choice of specializations. Ravi Purohit, 30, (2017-18 batch) a B.Tech (Mechanical) engineer with six years’ work experience in elevator industries and auto/auto ancillary units. He chose Marketing Analytics as an elective. He says learning at IMT had broadened his horizons, improved his decision making and helped him connect the dots in how management decisions affect the various stakeholders right from Finance to HR to Supply Chain and vendors.

It is not a mere theory that is being taught in the classroom. Functional aspects are taken care of by involving students in a wide range of industrial projects all the way from planning to execution.

There are targeted workshops with the aim of skill-building like 6 Sigma and project management, aligned with the career goal of the students. There are also personal growth labs & assessment centres for better understating of own self, strength & development path. A number of in campus activities such as “IMTheInnovator” a Startup Exhibition, Expanding Horizons, an industry interaction and Personal Growth Lab, help in honing the student’s skills and boost their confidence when called upon to take complex decisions in their future career. Every student is required to submit a dissertation in the last term of the program. Working on the dissertation thus becomes an integral part of the learning experience.

International Immersion

The internationalization part of the program comes during the student exchange between IMT and selected European schools for a few weeks during the program as also the international immersion during the “Global Career accelerator.”

It involves the students spending one term at the partner institution that includes EM Normandie, France, IESEG School of Management, Paris and Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.

The modules of the program blend in components of skills, knowledge and attitude with innovative topics like cross-culture business negotiation, design thinking, critical thinking, execution, data modelling, to name a few.

According to an IMT spokesperson, the students rate the immersion as an excellent opportunity to get exposure on international business settings. They are able to better understand and appreciate the diversity of consumer groups, to build up an understanding of the global marketing environment and learn different approaches to handle employee performance.

The students gained awareness about the highly competitive business scenario in Europe– how various European companies (majorly Swedish) strategize to stay ahead of the competition. They also received fair learning on major corporate entities such as Ericsson, IKEA and Volvo. The students are awarded scores while participating in the immersion modules.

at IMT was splendid and he developed “consistency, resilience, adaptability and a great
attitude.”

business domains. These traits have kept me going in the professional sphere beyond the
boundaries of the institutional learning in the program,” he says.

join IMT Ghaziabad.

“Rigorous course curriculum and an exquisite experiential learning approach at IMT, made it
rather interesting for me to understand the practical implications of management theories
that were taught to us. Add to that the CIM sessions conducted by industry leaders and
experts were highly insightful as real-life anecdotes have always been a great way to relate
to teachings and gain in-depth understanding of concepts.

“I have always been a firm believer of building self-confidence and faith in oneself, which
IMT had undoubtedly helped in strengthening it further. I always suggest to not just rely on
campus placements and keep reaching out to your immediate and extended professional
networks.

“I have always done the same and it helped me bag not just one but three job offers outside
of campus. In the end I would say that always try to get the best learning possible out of the
MBA course and I am sure one eventually lands up with the job of their liking, be it on or off-campus,” he says.
