Programmes
Both run the same applied core, the same AI operating layer and the same practitioner faculty. What differs is pace, prior context and the level of role you are preparing to hold.
Choosing
Have you already run something in a business — a team, a budget, a product line, a territory? If yes, the one-year PGDM-X converts that experience into scope. If not, the two-year PGDM builds the experience first.
PGDM
A two-year, industry-driven management programme designed to prepare graduates for high-impact roles across product, strategy, operations, marketing, finance and global business.
PGDM-X
An accelerated management programme designed exclusively for professionals with 3+ years of work experience who want to move into higher-responsibility roles across product, strategy, business leadership and global functions.

Shared core
Regardless of pathway, every student is taught by practitioners, works live industry briefs, and operates a modern AI and data stack as a matter of routine.
Every course is led by someone who has done the work. Median faculty experience is 24 years.

Problem statements are supplied by partner organisations, with their teams reviewing the output.
80+ corporate partners

The instruments of modern business work
Real briefs with real constraints
