IIM Visakhapatnam Hosts Campus Immersion for Executive Program in Business Management – Batch 1
The Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (IIMV) warmly welcomed participants of its Executive Program in Business Management (EPBM) Batch 1 for a much-anticipated three-day campus immersion starting May 16, 2025. This immersive engagement marks a significant milestone in the participants’ 12-month professional learning journey.
The inaugural cohort comprises 81 accomplished corporate executives from across India, with 60 participants attending the immersion in person. The carefully designed on-campus experience offered participants an invaluable platform for peer learning, faculty interaction, and collaborative engagement.
Welcoming the participants, Prof. Sushil Kumar, Program Director remarked, “The importance of this program lies in the conceptual clarity that IIMV strives to instil in every participant. This immersion has been carefully designed to enrich their learning experience.” He also introduced the planned activities for the three-day event and announced that the three best capstone projects will be formally recognized at the conclusion of the program.
Prof. Amit Shankar, Program Co-Director speaking on the occasion, highlighted the program’s balanced and human-centric approach. “While conceptual clarity forms the foundation of the program, equal importance is given to developing human skills, which are essential for taking on effective managerial and leadership roles in today’s complex business environment,” he said.
As participants move into the final modules of the EPBM, they explored critical themes such as leadership, strategic management, enterprise risk, business analytics, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence, culminating in a capstone project that applies their learnings to real-world business scenarios.
Both the Program Directors extended their gratitude to Prof. M. Chandrasekhar, Director, IIM Visakhapatnam, along with the esteemed faculty, dedicated staff, and most importantly, the participants for their commitment and engagement throughout the program.
This campus immersion underscores IIM Visakhapatnam’s dedication to delivering executive education that combines academic excellence with practical relevance, preparing professionals to lead in an ever-evolving business landscape.
