instructions, group discussions, lectures, seminars, presentations by participants, and lectures by guest
speakers, from the industry and the government. Case method is the predominant pedagogical tool. This
sharpens analytical skills of participants and helps them to analyze problems from multi- functional
perspectives. Instructors mainly guide the group, push participants to develop and defend arguments, and
take decisions.
Registration and Induction Programme

The Induction Programme of the 19th Batch of Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP)
commenced on July 1, 2016. The two day event aimed at motivating and inspiring the PGP participants to
excel in their career choices and become familiar with the Institute. The Inaugural Ceremony was marked
by the presence of the renowned economist and politician, Mr. Jairam Ramesh, along with Professor
Ganesh K. Nidugala, Dean (Academic) & Officiating Director and all the students registered for the
programme.
The programmestarted with a welcome address by Professor Ganesh K. Nidugala. Making a mention
about the first batch of PGP which started with just 37 students, he said that the Institute has grown
significantly in the years that followed. Next came the Commencement Speech by Mr. Jairam Ramesh who
enthralled the audience with his interactive talk about the Indian economy and changes that have taken
place in the last 25 years, which he detailed in a recently published book, ‘To the Brink and Back: India’s
1991 Story’.
He began his talk discussing about Indore and how the city is well known for the origin of Hindustani Music,
famous cricketers and authors. ‘And now, Indore is emerging as an education hub, with both IIT and IIM in
the same city, drawing investors as well’, he said. He talked about the kind of life people lived during the
70’s and 80’s, and how much innovation has taken place. He concluded his talk pointing out that
undergraduate study is the only time you spend learning, while post-graduation is just spent yearning to

start earning. He congratulated the students for making it to IIM Indore and wished them luck for the future.
This was followed by a briefing by Professor Shubhamoy Dey, Chair, PGP. He briefed the students about the
course curriculum and the subjects.
The first day of orientation concluded with a session on Gender Sensitivity by Ms. Roshani Das, Student
Representative of Internal Complaints Committee at IIM Indore.

Works, Leadership Coaching and Integral Consultancy. Ms. Jain is also the author of the renowned book
‘OWN IT’ which takes a thorough look at women’s problems at any workplace.
Ms. Aparna Jain began her interactive session querying the students on their ideas about feminism,
diversity at the workplace and inclusion, and how these affect any organization. She then discussed
various common words used in daily-language such as, businessman, chairman, actor, poet, comedian
etc. and highlighted how these are male-representative words, which by-default are considered made-for-
the -male gender only. Alluding to how a child is brought up, depending upon whether it’s a boy or a girl,
she said that objectification of women and certain behavioral habits need to change.
Professor Rishikesha T. Krishnan, Director, IIM Indore also interacted with the new PGP Batch. He
congratulated the students for making it to IIM Indore, and advised them to keep learning and work hard, as
this is just the beginning. Giving examples of famous personalities like Chetan Bhagat, Rashmi Bansal,
Ramachandra Guha, etc., he said that one should always be disciplined and remain focused. This was
followed by a Q&A session.
The second day also witnessed a session by Professor Abha Chatterjee, in which she sensitized the
students regarding creating a comfortable environment for differently-abled persons. The last day of the
orientation had briefings about Plagiarism, Library Facilities, IT Infrastructure of the Institute, Hostel and
Security and Safety measures.
Rural Immersion 2016

Rural Immersion Programme (RIP) is a compulsory 2 credit programme for all first year PGP participants.
This is a unique initiative that was instituted with the objective to sensitize participants of IIM Indore, who in
future would become entrepreneurs, or occupy managerial positions in the corporate world. Many
participants come from an urban background and may not have seen or experienced rural areasor rural
life.
As a part of the Swachh Bharat Mission, RIP 2016-17 saw IIM Indore students work with the Department
of Panchayati Raj and Rural Development, Government of Madhya Pradesh to visitvillages and validate
open defecation free status, as declared by the villages themselves. Further, the State department gave an
assignment to these students with a focus on solid-liquid waste management mechanism, validation of
ODF sustenance and exploring various tax mechanismsfor the sustenance of ODF status. A total of 560
students participated in this week-long exercise wherein they visited 157 ODF-declared villages in 13
districts. This programme was conducted in two phases – last week of November’16 and the first week of
January’17. After a brief interaction with district authorities, students resided with the community in
villages for understanding various issues related to ODF sustenance, SLWM requirements, status of
institutional sanitation (school, anganwadis). Students recorded their observations based on coding
mechanism and inferences were drawn.

Himalayan Outbound Programme

Final Year students of the Post Graduate Programme (PGP) and the Integrated Programme in Management
(IPM) of IIM Indore visited a number of locations along the Himalayan range under the Himayalan
Outbound Programme (HOP). HOP is an opportunity available exclusively at IIM Indore, with the objective
to promote learning by reflection from life experiences.
A total of 483 participants of the IIM Indore and Mumbai campuses trekked to mystique locations including
Bedani, Dayara and Kedarkantha; Deoriatal (through India-Hike), Kuflon (through TSAF) and Camp
Hornbill, Ramnagar (through Rural Travelers). With the help of activities aimed at providing managerial
exposure, students were exposed to the odds of working in teams while learning their lessons of decision
making and taking action at the right moment. Adventure sports were an added attraction for the trip, with
participants trying their hand at rafting, rappelling, cliff-jumping, river crossing, paragliding, rock climbing
and bouldering.
The programme sensitizes the participants to be more aware of their natural surroundings, discovering
their own selves in the process. Overall, the programme shapes and develops future managers to face
challenges, work in a team, stay rooted to the problem at hand, while living in the moment.

Five-Year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM)

Launched by IIM Indore in 2011, the five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) is the first of its
kind in India. It is a unique and creative programme meant for young students with managerial and
leadership aspirations. Through the IPM, IIM Indore seeks to attract young students, and mold them as
outstanding leaders through world-class education.
IPM is aimed at students who have passed out of Class XII/Higher Secondary or equivalent from schools
across India.
The Programme consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years, each year having 3 terms of 3
months each. IPM has two parts. The first three years build the foundation, and the last two years focus on
management.
The foundation part has three major elements:
• Courses in Mathematics, Statistics and Economics to build analytical rigour;
• Courses in Psychology, Sociology and Political Science, along with courses in Economics, to provide
an understanding of the core disciplines on which the study of management is based;
• Courses in Science, Engineering, Humanities, Literate and Fine Arts to provide breadth and
perspective.
A combination of analytical rigour and wide exposure equips IPM students for leadership roles and
positions of responsibility in different sectors.
After 3 years of intensive study of the foundation disciplines, IPM students train as managers along with
the students of the Institute’s 2-year Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), undertaking the

Fellow Programme in Management (FPM)

Fellow Programme in Management at IIM Indore provides an opportunity to those who wish to contribute
to the field of management sciences by undertaking research in the discipline of management. The goal of
the programme is to prepare participants to contribute to training, research and consulting.
The Fellow Programme at IIM Indore is a unique doctoral programme in management. It is designed to
provide both breadth and depth of knowledge to doctoral participants in management. The programme has
the two-fold objective of enabling participants to master the relevant methodological tools of management
research on the one hand, and the advancement of the current body of management knowledge on the
other. The FPM track offers prospects of a career within academia or (research) positions outside the
academic world. The rigorous curriculum of the programme provides ample training for an academic
career and gives participants the opportunity to make an indelible mark on research activity in their
respective fields. The programme offers specializations in various areas of management.
The programme was launched with a single student in 2006-07. Since then, IIM Indore has been making
sincere efforts to meet the requirement of quality faculty in management schools in India.
Participants in the programme have been regularly contributing to the body of knowledge through research
and publications.

With the rapid expansion of management education in India, it has become inevitable that top business
schools cater to the need of the faculty in business schools by producing excellent researchers and
academicians who have a strong practical experience. Management education will be purposeful and

Indore is an attempt in that direction. Introduced in the year 2011, the programme is intended to bring
industry and academia close to each other. By providing scholarly inputs to persons who already have
domain knowledge of their discipline, the programme offers prospects of a full time/part time career within
academia or in research positions outside academia.
The objective of the Programme is achieved by:
• providing an overview of the management discipline in general and functional areas in particular;
• giving inputs on research tools and techniques;
• giving inputs on developing and effectively using various pedagogical tools and techniques;
• Strengthening the scholarly base of participants’ domain knowledge.
Structure of the programme

This was followed by the Convocation Address by Professor Srikant Datar. His address revolved around

economic growth, trading wealth and social justice,and qualities of humility, courage and trust. He began
his address congratulating the parents and families of the graduating students first, and said, ‘I honour all
the parents present here, as they sacrificed a lot to help you live a better life than theirs. They deserve equal
right to celebrate for making all the students what they are today.’
Discussing technology and digitalization, Professor Datar mentioned self-running cars and how they may
affect employment of drives across the globe. ‘However, we need to see the positive effects machines
have brought in. Self-driving cars would help in reducing traffic and accidents. They would also help in
significantly reducing the number of cars owned by people across the world, as renting cars—on a
particular location, similar to OLA and Uber - would be simpler. Hence, loss of jobs causes concern, but
the benefits of technology are equally strong,’ he explained. He then discussed a few ideas such as,
providing larger safety for people who lose their jobs, giving broader training to employees, reducing
employee payroll taxes etc. to encourage the use of technology and innovation in business. Professor
Rishikesha T. Krishnan, Director, IIM Indore spoke about various major updates at IIM Indore. The

8. Foundation Day
th
IIM Indore celebrated the 20 Foundation Day on 3 October, 2016. The chief guest for the event was Shri R.
Gopalakrishnan, Author, Corporate Advisor & Thought Leader. The event began with a welcome address
by Professor Rishikesha T. Krishnan, Director, IIM Indore. Recollecting the times when establishment of
IIM Indore was announced, Professor Krishnan mentioned the excitement and anticipation created in the
entire education sector of the country. Discussing IIM Indore’s journey, he noted that today the Institute has
matured and achieved many laurels in the past years, right from launching the Five Year Integrated
Programme in Management to having the largest number of students on campus as compared to other
IIMs.
Shri Gopalakrishnan delivered the Foundation Day Lecture on the topic—‘Maximising, Not Balancing,
Work Life Through Six Lenses’. Discussing his graduating days, he said that management education those
days was a bit flaky, and parents preferred that their children rather study at IITs and get ‘proper education’.
He noted that both the ‘eyes’ have six lenses which need to work together namely, Purpose—as to what
needs to be done with life; Maturity—speaking what is in your mind; Courage—to be able to open your
mouth, and doing what you want; Trust—developing trust among each other; Defining success—and
getting a clarity about what success is to you and Luck—which plays an important role. ‘As and when a
person faces any situation, these six lenses adjust themselves accordingly and hence, no two persons can
see similar situations in a similar manner’, he concluded.
This was followed by an award presentation ceremony. Certificate for Academic Excellence was
presented to the top 5 percentile of the combined batch of the PGP (Batch 2015-17) and IPM (Batch 2012-
17) participants, based on their academic performance in 2015-16. Certificates were given to 25
students.
The event also witnessed an award presentation ceremony to felicitate faculty and staff members of the
Institute. Details of these awards are given in a separate Section of Awards, Scholarships and
Achievements.
The event concluded with a melodious musical performance by Filter Coffee, Fusion Band from Mumbai,
who enthralled the audience with their rocking and dazzling performances.

Indore and an expert in the area of Industrial relations and labour laws. The talk witnessed participation
from students, faculty members and eminent industrialists from Pithampur and Indore region.
During the talk, changes pertaining to labour law reforms were discussed in detail. Professor Jagannathan
iterated on how job descriptions should be created exhaustively even in case of contractual labour. He also
reinforced learnings through a few prominent case studies.
The talk was also graced by Mr. Shobit Jain, Labour Commissioner of the State of Madhya Pradesh. Mr.
Jain talked about recent measures taken with regard to Labour. Their efforts in digitizing the process of
contracting Labour using mobile apps like m-Shram Seva and online portals were appreciated by the

Guest Talk on ‘China & India After the Financial Crisis of 2008’
A Guest Talk on the topic ‘China and India After the Financial Crisis of 2008’ was held at IIM Indore on 6
March, 2017. Professor R. Nagraj, an expert on Indian economy from the Indira Gandhi Institute of
Development Research, Mumbai was the speaker. His talk revolved around the parallels that can be drawn
between the Indian and Chinese economies. He believed that even though politically and institutionally
both the economies are on different planes, drawing such comparisons is still meaningful. He discussed
whether these giant oriental economies –accounting for 18% of Global GDP in 2015 and one third of the
world’s population – could emerge as a significant node for global economic recovery.
Professor Nagraj also discussed about China’s deteriorating growth rate and India’s economic turnaround
with excessive debt on the banking sector. According to Professor Nagraj, India does not seem to be in as
fragile a position as China; the prospect of a crisis seems remote. Even though India’s external debt
position is not sound, the risk does not seem to be very large.
He concluded his talk observing that India has greater political stability and certainty because its market
institutions are more rule based and hence supportive of market economy. The talk was followed by a Q&A
session.

February, 2017. The theatrical production was brought together by Professor Shweta Kushal, Faculty,
Communications Area, IIM Indore, with a carefully chosen cast put through three months of rehearsal.
The play is about a harsh and authoritarian man’s attempt to vicariously live through his son, and the
latter’s struggle to preserve his already battered and oppressed personality. It comes to light after his
death, that the father had had a will made which allowed his family a meagre allowance from a trust to
which he had dedicated all of his wealth and which was to retain it till his son reached 45 years of age.
However, he puts in a clause that permits the executrix, none other than his own mistress, to transfer the
holdings to charity should his family fail to follow his instructions as laid out in the will. Overall the play
explores the theme of despair resulting from identity crisis.
Members of cast, all of whom gave spell binding performances, were Aditya Nair Satheesan (the father),
Sanjana Rao Yarram (the mistress), Sagnik Mukherjee (the son), Jasmine Kaur (the son’s scheming wife)
and Shreya Surana (the protagonist’s widow). In the two hours of enactment, they recreated a vivid story

‘Cashless Campus’
The Student Activity Council of IIM Indore took up the initiative of implementing a system across the
campus which makes all the transaction with different entities running on campus using card (eateries,
department stores, fruit & vegetable store, mess etc.), thereby making a ‘Cashless Campus’. On
December 9, 2016, the first transaction using the personalized IIM Indore card was done by Professor
Rishikesha T. Krishnan, Director, IIM Indore.The transactions are made using a card which is issued to the
participants and staff. Instead of paying liquid cash, the e-wallet which is pre-loaded with money can be
swiped across different outlets across the campus.
The project scales up to 1547 participants, 200+ staffs and 23 Outlets which is part of the IIM Indore
community. OnUs payment solutions is the vendor which set up the infrastructure and helped in
implementing the system in the campus. The system deployed in IIM Indore is different from the usual
debit/credit card based payment solutions or mobile wallets which requires internet connection.

The solution consists of three basic elements-

• The personalized card with the student/staff
• The Point of Sale (POS) machines with the merchants
• The Back-end from OnUs
Traditional systems have many drawbacks such as delays in transaction, need for an internet connection
while making the transaction. The nature of the small value transactions is fast paced. The system is
similar to those fast paced and low value transactions which rely on tap and pay cards, the kind we are
providing in IIM Indore. These are placed like the metro cards in India, Octopus in Hong Kong or the Oyster
in the London metro.

Social Sensitivity Cell Pragat-I Conducts ‘Living Library’

A ‘Living Library’ event was held at IIM Indore November 6, 2016 by the Social Sensitivity Cell of the
Institute; in collaboration with The Human Library, Indore Chapter. The event garnered huge participation
from the students who actively interacted with the human books and took away a leaf from their wide and
varied experience.
The Living Library is an equality tool that seeks to challenge prejudice and discrimination. It works just like
a normal library wherein visitors can browse the catalogue for the available titles, choose the book they
want to read, and borrow it for a limited period of time. After reading, they return the book to the library and,
if they want, they can borrow another. The only difference is that in the Living Library, books are people, and
reading consists of a conversation. These living books are human beings like us but they are special
because they face numerous struggles always and they learned to deal with them successfully.
A lot of enthusiasm was seen among students to interact with the books which shared their experience.
The books included Visually Challenged, Physically Challenged, Cancer Survivors, Depression Survivors,
Alzheimer’s Care Givers, Struggling Entrepreneurs, Young Entrepreneurs, Child Abuse Survivors,
Homosexuals and Transgender. Every book had a unique tale to share and offered a new perspective to the
students who were keen to learn from their stories. Books gave readers the permission to enter into a
dialogue with them, in a hope that their perspectives and experiences will challenge commonly held
perceptions and stereotypes and therefore affect the attitudes and behaviours of the wider society.
The Pragat-I team was appreciated by The Human Library, Indore Chapter for taking this unique initiative to

IIM Indore Students Set-up Smart Classes in Rural Government Schools

A team of IPM students namely Anurag Sinha, Hemant Kumar, Ronish Satija, Yavnika Verma, Prince Verma
and Deepika Oram worked with Mr. Sanjay Dubey, Divisional Commissioner, Indore to set up smart
classes in rural government schools of Indore. It is a common misbelief that a government school teacher
is disinterested in teaching his/her students, which causes the break-down of the entire education system.
However, the ground reality states that 85 percent of teachers and all the students want the teaching
learning process to succeed. But there still exists a gap between the teacher’s message and student’s
reception which creates the fault lines in the teaching-learning atmosphere. The objective of the team was
to bridge this gap and help the students learn as much as possible via smart classes. So far, the team has
successfully installed a number of smart classes in 25 schools.
The course material being provided is a combination of open educational resources as well as content
developed and voiced by the IIM Indore students’ team. The content strictly adheres to the Madhya
Pradesh Board of Education’s curriculum and has been arranged exactly as per the MP Board curriculum
for ease of use by the teachers. The content as of now covers Maths, Science and English for classes 1st
to 8th, with most of the material being in Hindi for easy comprehension by the students.

The student team also takes care of the hardware installations and teacher training in order to get the best
output from the initiative ( SBI has come forward and donated 10 computers for the initiative).
