Participant Experiences

Batch 21, January 2025 Cohort

As a Merchant Navy officer managing global operations, I sought to pivot into business leadership. SPJIMR’s GMP was the catalyst. The programme transformed my hands-on maritime discipline, crisis management, logistics, and cross-cultural crew leadership into strategic business acumen. Courses like Strategic Operations and the transformative Personal Growth Lab recalibrated my command-driven approach for collaborative boardrooms, while live projects anchored theory in practice. GMP’s rigorous yet supportive environment equipped me to navigate global business complexities, directly enabling my next chapter: a Master’s at USC Marshall. My deepest gratitude to SPJIMR for turning specialized experience into versatile leadership readiness.

GMP as a programme is very good. One of a kind programme for students who want to study abroad at prominent business schools. This programme prepares students for their studies abroad and instills a managerial mindset, coming from India’s top business school. The faculty is excellent, best in the country. The curriculum is rigorous but students learn a lot. Overall, this is a unique programme that, if leveraged well, can help students build highly successful careers.
