“SPJIMR’s PGPDM program acts as a true catalyst, enabling each one of us to amplify the outcomes in our respective fields. It defines some of the values of SPJIMR. It supports us in our endeavour to bridge the gap between our Bharat and India, to promote equity, and bring inclusivity in our country for all.

I truly appreciate the institute for putting together a program for professionals like me, teaching us the art and science of management, and encouraging us to apply all that we learn to accelerate achieving what we aspire to do - deepening the impact through our work in the society.”

Mr. Siddhant Khurana

“The PGPDM programme at SPJIMR has offered me a meaningful avenue to prioritize my personal growth & development alongside enabling positive strides for us at Mind Piper towards creating greater systemic change in the domain of mental health through peer-led learning.

Experience always results in the most enduring lessons and I’ve learned a lot from the faculty who with their values-led, for-mission approach to development management facilitated implementable and actionable real-world insights into scaling a social enterprise with a soul.”

Mr. Vyankatesh Kharage

"PGPDM is a unique executive course at SPJIMR which provides application based learning for development sector professionals. The faculty are industry experts who provide insightful concepts, case studies and application exercises. One of my best learning’s has come from my batch mates who bring in diverse perspectives on varied thematic areas from across the country. This course has equipped me to contribute effectively towards the CSR programs at my organization."

Dr. Janmejaya Samal

“I am technically well positioned as a public health specialist however I lack the right development management tools and techniques to manage complex projects. There comes the SPJIMR’s PGPDM program -handy to address my needs. This is a very unique and comprehensive program that provided all that I required to hone to become a successful development professional. In addition to development management it also well-equipped me with the concepts of functional management.”

Ms. Gunjan Kakkar

“The past year being one of the students under the PGPDM programme has been the most life changing experiences I have ever had.
