Chairperson's Message

As Chairperson of the Executive MBA Programme at IIM Sambalpur, I’m pleased to share what makes this programme distinctive.

The programme combines academic rigor with a structure suited to working professionals. It blends strong core courses with a thoughtful choice of electives, helping participants build solid managerial foundations while shaping learning around their career goals. Our faculty bring conceptual depth and practical relevance, with a focus on strategic thinking, decision-making, and leadership.

A key distinguishing feature is the CEO Immersion—a week-long engagement that connects participants with senior industry leaders and real organisational contexts. It brings leadership lessons to life and often becomes a defining part of the Executive MBA experience.

Equally important is the peer group. The diversity of industries and roles in the classroom enriches discussions and makes learning more grounded and practical.

If you are looking for a rigorous programme that respects the demands of a professional career while preparing you for larger leadership responsibilities, I invite you to explore the Executive MBA at IIM Sambalpur.
