Message from the Dean
IIM Kozhikode, believes that business leadership is about creating
positive ripples that have far reaching positive impact not only in one's
business domain but also in the society. In keeping with this ethos, IIM
Kozhikode's PGP in Business Leadership (PGP-BL) is an unconventional
one-year experience that aims to provide the industry 'on a platter', well-
rounded Individuals with strong leadership potential - Capable, confident,
multi-dimensional, empathetic, mindful and values-centric future leaders
who can 'hit the ground running'. Now, more than ever, businesses need
leaders who embrace uncertainty, challenge the status quo and execute
sustainable solutions to address complicated business challenges. In
selecting young yet mature professionals for the PGP-BL, we looked
beyond analytical abilities – we looked for drive and energy, we looked for
sincereity and integrity, and we looked for an entrepreneurial spark. For
these promising youth, we have been combining academic instruction
with global exposure, and deep sensitization to critical aspects of
leadership and responsible business, fashioned through a development
regime that enables reflective and personalized learning.
Dear Recruiters, it is with this optimism and confidence that I invite you to
interact and collaborate with the PGP-BL cohort at IIM Kozhikode. I am
hopeful that you will find your future leaders amongst them.

About PGP-BL
Why PGP-BL?
Leadership at its core is about creating impact, influence, and
inspiration. The ever-changing business environment calls for
grounded individuals who can look beyond the ordinary, face
the waves of uncertainty, and lead by example. This vision led
to the creation of a unique programme, the Post Graduate
Programme in Business leadership (PGP-BL) that shapes
passionate individuals into extraordinary leaders.

The Cohort
The programme is crafted for young leaders with a minimum of
3 years of work experience, who aim to upscale themselves by
synergizing the past learnings with holistic business acumen
gained through the IIMK PGP-BL pedagogy. The programme
aims to nurture potential individuals into future leaders who
encompass clarity of thought, the courage of conviction, feisty
focus, and hortative humility. Crafted to embrace today's VUCA
world, PGP-BL is a unique cohort of power-packed
professionals with rich corporate experience, extraordinary
stories ready to create a global mark. The programme is an
amalgamation of distinctive teaching pedagogy and high-
intensity experiential learning that sets itself apart from the
conventional ways. A holistic approach that encourages every
leader to reflect by not just looking outward but also inside
oneself, lies at the core of this program. This passionate
journey is to tap the infinite potential one possesses and to
create a better world by creating Arjunas for today!

Few Testimonials from
Industry Experts
From my side, I had an amazing experience. I covered some pretty deep concepts and the students were with
me and very engaged. They were not only ready but eager for more. The questions were sincere and some of
them were also profound and indicated their interest in actually incorporating what I was saying into their
lives. There were more than twenty students who had further questions at the end and I regret I was unable to
address them. Could easily have spent an extra hour or more with them.
Overall, this was the best student-teaching experience I have had in India and one of the best anywhere in
the world.
