ERROL D’SOUZA MESSAGE FROM

Director-in-Charge and DIRECTOR-IN-CHARGE
Dean (Faculty)
Dear Recruiter,
06
It is a matter of immense pride for me to introduce the Armed Forces
Programme (AFP), which is a six-month residential course in Business
Management at IIM Ahmedabad. The programme is special to us for the
fact that they are the ones who had made immense contribution to the
nation at the peak of their lives and absorbed extraordinary strategic and
collegial attributes which can be an asset to the corporate ethos. The batch
is a mix of 60 Armed Forces officers from diverse fields of the Army, Navy
and Air Force with experience ranging from 10 to 35 years. Unlike similar
courses run by other institutes, participants of the AFP batch at IIM
Ahmedabad have been selected through an entrance examination
conducted by the institute. The popularity of the programme is evident
from the fact that there has been a persistent increase in the number of
applicants for the course over the years.

The 24 week programme has been designed to hone the participants’ skills
by putting together a relevant and up to date content in tune with the true
IIM Ahmedabad flavour. The participants have been exposed to all the core
areas of Management and current best practices in industry. Each module
has evolved over the last decade building on the teaching experience
conjoined with course and industry feedback.

Our faculty utilises diverse pedagogy, such as the time-tested case study
method, industry visits, practical exercises, video case studies and class
room instructions, to expose the batch to both theoretical and practical
aspects of various subjects. The tools and techniques used for instructions
are designed to provide an enriching learning experience and the
foundation for continued learning. This provides a holistic development
and grooming of the participants.

The industry feedback of previous AFP batches has been excellent and a
large number of them have been able to make invaluable contributions in
fields across the corporate world. I am confident that, as recruiters, you have
a reservoir of trained managers and leaders laced with talent as well as
experience from which you can take a pick.

MESSAGE FROM

DEAN (PROGRAMMES)

It was a pleasure teaching the current batch of AFP. I was impressed by their
enthusiasm and keenness to learn the subject. They put in their best efforts
to compensate for their wide disparities in age, experience and
qualifications. Most participants in the AFP have handled budgets during
their careers in the armed forces, with some of them having experience in
large procurement projects. The participants were found to be very
receptive towards understanding and assimilating the subject. The course
clearly targeted and bridged the knowledge gaps which some of the
participants had. I am certain that the skills gained by them during their
years in uniform, coupled with their learning from this institute will stand
them in good stead.

PARVINDER GUPTA CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE

Chairperson Appropriate to the current dynamic business environment, the participants
Armed Forces Programme of Armed Forces Programme (AFP) represent a group of professionals who
embrace change, as they leave the comforts of careers in the Armed Forces
08 to take on challenges of the corporate world. Indian Institute of
Management Ahmedabad partners in this change process by arming the 60
selected AFP participants, with the knowledge and skills required to fight a
corporate battle, through this intense 6 months residential programme.

The true value of these participants lay in their immense experience in the
Armed Forces that has developed in them the attributes much needed in
organisations which are designed to deliver results. The programme design,
which has evolved over the last 12 years, facilitates merging their invaluable
experience into corporate competence by including various important tools
of management with an emphasis on incorporating the latest development.
The curriculum builds on the expertise of the participants in Operations,
Supply Chain Management, Human Resource Management,
Communications, Strategy, Infrastructure Management, Project
Management and Organisation Behaviour. The curriculum also lays
emphasis on key areas such as Marketing, Finance, Business Law, Statistics,
Economics, Entrepreneurship, Food and Agriculture Business, Financial
Decision Making, Healthcare Management, Managerial Computing and
Information Systems to enable the participants in a seamlessly transition
into business setup.

With various learning methods and in particular the pedagogy of case study
method at IIM Ahmedabad, the participants have been exposed to real-life
business situations with over 100 case studies covering a wide variety of
industries and disciplines of management within 24 weeks. Being a
residential course, the participants are also exposed to a stimulating
academic environment for professional learning with a host of facilities, a
well-stocked library, industry interaction, lectures by speakers from around
the world and student activities.

The sincerity and levels of enthusiasm towards learning of this batch has
been amazing. They seem to be ready to infuse similar synergy,
professionalism and passion to your organisations and steer it towards
achieving its goals and missions. I am certain that the corporates seeking
prospective leaders will be pleasantly surprised by the calibre of this
wonderful batch.

EXPERIENCE
ENRICHED FOR EXCELLENCE

Counted among the top five armed forces in the world, Indian Armed Forces are known for their
professionalism, achievements, ethos, size and technology. Selection of officers into the armed
forces itself is a stringent screening process which includes academic and psychological testing with
lakhs of applicants staking their claim on few hundred vacancies. The Armed Forces Programme
(AFP) at IIM Ahmedabad is unique, as it is the only resettlement course in the Armed Forces which
undertakes further selection of participants through a separate selection procedure.

The Officers retiring from Indian Armed Forces represent a group of motivated personnel who have
been put through rigorous training to develop ethos of leadership, devotion, discipline and
teamwork. These Officers have worked with diverse groups of people and in equally diverse and
challenging circumstances thus imbibing the art of being flexible, adaptable and focused at the same
time. From early stages of their respective careers, these Officers have shouldered responsibility and
delivered results through a positive attitude, good communication skills and cross functional
knowledge.

The group, undergoing this programme, has Officers with diverse background, skills, educational
qualifications and fields of service. The work experience of the participants of the course range from
7 to 30 years with an average of approximately 20 years.

AFP is a six-month, full time residential Business Management Course, conducted at IIM Ahmedabad
from October to March every year. The curriculum of the AFP course includes 30 specifically selected
and designed modules with an aim to impart contemporary global management practices through
pedagogy of case-study method, class room discussions, business presentations and industry visits.
The stringent course curriculum brings to fore the analytical & managerial skills that are a pre-
requisite for success in corporate career. The course ensures that each participant’s ‘experience is
enriched for continued excellence’ and that he or she is reoriented for the corporate world.
