IIM launches 12-month senior management programme for professionals
Delivered in a LIVE online format, the programme focuses on building strategic decision-making capabilities, cross-functional leadership, and adaptability in a rapidly changing business environment. It is structured across three broad modules, addressing the current business landscape, global strategic frameworks, and the intersection of profitability, sustainability, and people management.
The SMP combines rigorous academic instruction with real-world insights. Participants engage with case studies, simulations, and collaborative projects, culminating in a three-day on-campus immersion at IIM Nagpur. This residential module provides an opportunity for peer interaction and practical learning in a team-based setting.
Previous batches have drawn participants from sectors including IT, BFSI, engineering, HR, and retail—primarily at senior levels such as Vice Presidents and General Managers. Over half the past participants had more than 15 years of experience, contributing to a high-value peer-learning environment.
The programme also integrates faculty-led chamber consulting, allowing learners to gain personalised guidance aligned with their individual growth objectives.
The relevance of programmes like SMP is underlined by recent research studies that highlight a gap between leadership expectations and development outcomes. Findings point to issues such as the mismatch between acquired and required skills, underdeveloped interpersonal competencies, and challenges in applying theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.
The SMP aims to bridge these gaps by aligning strategic learning with practical business challenges, preparing participants to lead with confidence, foresight, and adaptability. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Certificate of Completion and are granted Executive Alumni Status from IIM Nagpur.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Foundation Day event brought together faculty, staff, students, alumni and well-wishers from across the country. The premier B-school started from a temporary campus at VNIT with a modest intake of 60 in the first batch in 2015, before moving to the picturesque permanent campus at Mihan-SEZ in 2021. "Phase 2 and 3 of the Nagpur campus development are set to commence soon, forming a key part of IIM-Nagpur's broader vision for academic excellence, infrastructure expansion, and long-term institutional growth," said IIM-N director Bhimaraya Metri. The celebration began with Metri inaugurating a new Pickleball Court, symbolising IIM-Nagpur's continued commitment to student wellness and holistic growth through sports and recreation.

IIM-N to teach foreign languages to hone desi skills with global edge
Nagpur: The premier B-school, IIM Nagpur, is now planning to teach foreign languages in the perfect business accent. Starting off with teaching practical Japanese, including all the business and technical jargon, the institute also intends to begin courses in Korean, Spanish, and French in coming days. To facilitate Japanese language teaching, the institute is considering collaboration with the automobile giant Suzuki Corporation to source experts. Bringing in a trainer directly from a business organization is expected to help deliver the language in a more practical and industry-relevant manner. Additionally, a partnership with the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) is being explored. This initiative was revealed by IIM director Bhimraya Metri during the inaugural session of Viksit Bharat 2024: Global Perspective to Shape India's Future Workforce and Industry Partnership. Metri told TOI that the objective behind this move is to equip not only management graduates but also the broader workforce across various professions to take up jobs in foreign countries, especially Japan. Japan faces significant manpower shortage due to its ageing population — a gap that India can help fill. Learning Japanese would facilitate the integration of the Indian workforce into Japanese businesses. There is a substantial demand for skilled manpower in Japan. Even passouts from Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) can be trained in Japanese, which would boost their employability, including with Japanese companies operating in India, Metri said. IIM Nagpur's plan is to prepare Indian talent for global opportunities. Shortly after the seminar, UAE-based Octagon, led by managing director Sukant Mishra, participated in the event and extended a pre-placement offer (PPO) to IIM-N students. This means that students may be absorbed into the company if they prove suitable during the internships, Metri added. Former member of Parliament Ajay Sancheti, who was chief guest on the occasion, recalled his early experiences in Singapore, describing how India has now transformed into a global growth engine. He urged the students to think beyond urban development and contribute to inclusive national growth.
