“When I joined PGPDM, I didn’t know it would impact me so deeply. From the very beginning, theprogramme felt different, it wasn’t just about classes, it was about real challenges, conversations,and learnings. The classroom discussions pushed me to think in new ways and provided a chance to interact with peers from diverse backgrounds. What really stood out for me was the environment at SPJIMR; supportive yet challenging enough to make me pause and reflect on where I was heading. For me, PGPDM doesn’t just make professionals, it creates seeds of change in the development sector. The programme gave me clarity, courage, and a sense of purpose. It taught me to dream big, but more importantly, to believe in those dreams, inspiring me to take the bold step of leaving my job and starting my own organisation, Ecobasket. Looking back, I can say PGPDM didn’t just change my career, it changed me.”
