IIM Mumbai inks pact with CIL for specialised Executive Post Graduate Program

The one year program will be in a blended format, 60 per cent of which will be online and 40 per cent will be through physical attendance that will be held in the institute's satellite campus in Angul in Odisha, he added.
This specialised program, designed for executives of Coal India and its subsidiaries, will begin in September and has a capacity of 40 students, Prof Tiwari added.
Meanwhile,IIM Mumbai has proposed the setting up of a new satellite campus in or around Mumbai. The proposal, submitted to the Maharashtra Government, aligns with the state's visionary 'Viksit Maharashtra 2047' roadmap and is set to propel Mumbai as a global nerve centre for finance, policy, technology, and academic excellence, an IIM Mumbai statement said.
The proposed satellite campus seeks to offer a suite of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes with a sharp focus on disciplines such as economics, accounting and finance, technology and data science, and law and regulation. This strategic initiative is aimed at integrating interdisciplinary research with future-ready pedagogy, in line with the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which champions flexibility, innovation, and holistic development in higher education.

Netizens go berserk as Mumbai cook earns around Rs 2 lakh a month, gets Rs 18,0000 per house for 30-minute job
Many times, we have seen reels and posts on social media joking around, either a Paani Puri vendor or a Vada Pav vendor earning equivalent to or sometimes more than a person with a high degree. Well, this is not just for laughs; a Mumbai-based lawyer's tweet about her cook earning a bomb is going viral. And this will make you want to up your culinary skills and reconsider your career options. Taking to her X handle, Ayushi Doshi, a Mumbai Advocate, shared a funny tweet about her cook and his earnings. She wrote, 'My Maharaj (Cook) •Charges ₹18k per house •Max 30 mins per house •10–12 houses daily •Free food & free chai everywhere •Gets paid on time or leaves without a goodbye. Meanwhile, I'm out here saying 'gentle reminder' with trembling hands with minimum salary.' Her tweet received mixed reactions from fellow netizens, with many claiming the authenticity of her statement and stating that the price he charges is unbelievably high. But later, Doshi shared yet another tweet clarifying those exorbitant charges and wrote, 'Mumbai folks, back me up! This is what good Maharajs charge in decent localities. The same cook charges Rs 2.5k a day for a family of 12 isn't overcharging, it's just how things work here,' she posted. 'And no, it's not 'engagement farming.' It's just real-life experience in one of the most expensive cities in the country. If you can't relate, maybe just accept the difference in cost of living and keep scrolling instead of shouting 'fake' in the comments,' she added. Taking to Ayushi explained that she knows Rs 18,000 per household for 2 meals sounds a bit unbelievable, and that is the reaction she has been getting from many people too. But she also said that this is what one pays in a decent locality in Mumbai. 'Of course, not all cooks charge that much; many charge 10- 12k as well. But if someone is really good, efficient, and has built a reputation, they can charge a premium. The cook I mentioned is known in our entire locality for almost 10 years & the families trust him completely. Good cooks with solid reputations charge that much, and people are willing to pay because they deliver quality, consistency, and speed.' She continued that the cook works for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the household size. He works in 10-12 flats in the same complex. So it's very much possible for him to make 1.8- 2 lakhs a month, without any exaggeration,' she added. Well, this surely does raise eyebrows and sounds unbelievable! Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such updates.
