IIMV welcomes EPBM 1st batch

Visakhapatnam: 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 from Friday.

The 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.
