Why PGPFMB
Post Graduate Programme in Family Managed Business (PGP-FMB)
SPJIMR’s Post Graduate Programme in Family Managed Business (PGP-FMB) is the pioneer in post-graduate family managed business programmes in India. Most family managed businesses in India belong to the Micro, Small & Medium enterprise (MSME) sector. The significance of the MSME sector to the Indian economy- with its high contribution to manufacturing output, the national income, as also employment, cannot be overstated.
SPJIMR’s PGP-FMB programme, in keeping with the Institute’s mission of ‘Influencing Practice’ is directed towards and affects this crucial sector. Conceived and launched in 1997, the programme has grown in strength, with 32 batches already having gone through the programme. A 3500 strong and growing alumni base, from diverse industries and locations ranging across India, Nepal, Dubai and Hong Kong, stand testimony to the appeal and reach of this unique programme.
