A three-day campus immersion programme was organised by the Indian Institute of Management-Visakhapatnam (IIM-V) to welcome participants of its Executive Programme in Business Management (EPBM)-Batch 1 on Friday(May 16). This 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, according to a statement issued by the IIM-V. Programme Director Sushil Kumar said that the importance of this programme lies in the conceptual clarity that IIM-V 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 would be formally recognised at the conclusion of the programme. Programme Co-Director Amit Shankar highlighted the programme's balanced and human-centric approach. 'While conceptual clarity forms the foundation of the programme, 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 Programme Directors extended their gratitude to IIM-V Director M. Chandrasekhar along with the esteemed faculty, dedicated staff, and the participants for their commitment and engagement throughout the programme.
