Currently, there are three Executive MBA (EMBA) and one International Certificate Program in Product Management & Marketing (ICPM) batches of students learning from senior practitioners and gearing up to create their own ripples in the world of Product management. Two EMBA batches and one ICPM batch graduated this year, giving wing to their careers.
