Executive MBA in Product Management & Leadership That Focuses on

Becoming a High Impact Leader

Its not about managing people anymore. Modern Innovators are expected to see the bigger picture & lead decision-making rather than just executing on orders.

Learning what's Relevant

Understand the know-how of innovation, influence and problem solving. Also, specialize in new-age skills –  
Product Leadership, Applied Data Science & Design Thinking; rather than general principles of management.

Building a Portfolio

Portfolio of demonstrable skills weigh a lot more than resumes! Real-world problem solving skills + Networking with hiring managers, ultimately triggers Career Transition /  Acceleration to C-suite roles.

Hear from the
Hiring Managers

" IPL must be one of the few in the industry moving away from traditional resume-based interviews. The whole process was very well organized and moderated by IPL. Gone are days of hiring based on just resumes, IPL makes their candidates prove their worth even before joining your org. I will definitely be back when I have more roles to fill! "
Sandeep KumarDirector of Product Management | Morning Star

" The IPL Talentathon is exciting and great. IPL team shortlisted candidates for Phenom Hiring team. Company purpose alignment and role clarification happen very early in the process. All IPL candidates were highly knowledgeable in the respective area. "

This program has provided me with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the field of product management. I am excited to apply these learnings to my current role and future career opportunities.
Vishal JainLSI Manager,
ROHM Semiconductor India
Huge transformation for me from a techie to a product leader. I felt like it was a journey to discover myself again. This course has actually enabled me to discover what else I can do in life. It has given me an opportunity to move into the next orbit so maybe I can play more responsible roles, I feel confident, and it has given me the skills to handle, guide, and mentor startups. It has given me knowledge and skills that I can even launch my own startup.
Ravi BheesettyFounder and Navigator,

It was a memorable journey, every session was memorable. My interaction with Professor Sanjay was amazing, where we actually learned about how the big companies think about future technology, how they actually try to look at their product line, and how they can actually build the solution for the future. So that is something that was very interesting.
Vishal Settipalli Senior Product Manager,
Alation
One of the best decisions of adding an EMBA degree to my profile. The learning is experiential and continuous, perfectly relevant and hands-on. There is permanent brain damage that drills into you Product and Customer Thinking and start believing in yourself as a Product Leader. The one line that you will keep hearing from the first minute in your class "AWESOMENESS OR NOTHING". Kudos to the entire team.
Archana MallikarjunaSenior Product Manager Specialist,Telstra
Product management is not taught to us theoretically, we are asked to meet our end customers directly, we are asked to go ahead and take the customer interviews, we are asked to go and sell our products to our prospective customers so there are many things which ipl teaches us on a day-to-day basis.
Shreya SomaniAVP, Product & Portfolio Lead,
Bandhan Bank
IPL hosts a lot of events and skillathon type activities which gives us an opening gate to us to the entire world for career day events they bring a lot of Industry leaders who are like VP plus positions in different organizations they come over to the campus they have a face-to-face conversations they give us challenges life challenges to solve we solve them out and then they hone our skills.
Pallav DasHead of Business,

I was really excited to join this program. Today it’s all about being a product manager and I was very optimistic that this program has helped me grow in the product leadership ladder. Today I’m a very different professional altogether and I believe I have learned a lot in product management and leadership. Overall I’m a very well-defined professional today. I have implemented my learnings. I have got a promotion and have implemented a couple of major projects in my organization.

Great faculties, Awesome learning experience. The professors are industry experts, who bring in their vast experience to the class and make it more engaging and interesting. Assignments in each semester is an awesome way to think about a real problem and work on a solution, rather than just knowing about it theoretically.
