Principal QA Engineer, Giesecke+Devrient
I have 14 years of experience in the IT industry. This programme has provided me the knowledge and confidence to take up higher role and responsibilities. This interactive programme taught many of the Project Management concepts in simple methods which were otherwise difficult to understand. Case study and their analysis provided the learnings from real-time scenario, from different sectors with different strategies, approaches to analyse a particular problem and recommended solution. Working in groups taught us team management, people management, and understanding of the situation from other’s perspective. Simulation component enhanced the learning and decision-making skills necessary for project execution, monitoring and controlling that is similar to real-time experiences. In a nutshell, this programme was altogether a wonderful learning experience and it offered more than my expectations. I’d highly recommend this programme to my friends and colleagues who wish to make their career in Project Management.

I work at Royal Enfield and handle the Retail Insurance Business. I have experience in financial services and general insurance industry. I joined this programme with an inspiration from my colleagues in the PMO. I was hoping to get aided with a few modules that have direct impact on my present work. I also wanted to be associated with IIM-K for recognition and knowledge. Today, I stand with complete passion for Project Management. All credits to Prof. Rupesh. The impact on my day-to-day decisions is visible. Topics like risk assessment and mitigation have started to play a pivotal role in my present review meetings. I am thankful for this game changer programme.
