The Executive Program in Strategic Management Batch-1 at IIM Visakhapatnam concluded with a dynamic three-day campus immersion and valedictory session, marking the culmination of a year-long journey for a diverse group of working professionals.
Throughout the program, participants engaged with key strategic themes such as Industry Analysis, Business Strategy, Design Thinking, Leadership, and International Business through rigorous coursework, real-world application, and peer learning.
Prof. Sushil Kumar, Program Director, reflected on the programme’s transformative journey and urged participants to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. “You now carry forward not just a credential, but a responsibility,” he noted.
