Director’s Message

I take great pride in introducing this inaugural batch of IIM Kozhikode's Post
Graduate Programme in Business Leadership (PGP-BL), the Class of 2020.In line
with our vision for this programme, through an innovative selection process, we
virtually hand- picked each one in this cohort for their all-round capabilities and
latent leadership qualities. I believe they count among the brightest talents in
India and they have lived up to our expectations. Right from the beginning they
have added irrepressible energy and creative expression to our campus, and a
keen inquisitiveness into their classrooms, winning appreciation from a range of
leaders and faculty from around the world who interacted with them.
IIM Kozhikode has all along been a pioneer in innovating management education
and in seeking to create a global impact through Indian thought leadership. We
take pride in being a centre of reflective and experiential learning, through open
dialogue. The post Covid world needs not only capable and efficient managers, but
also leaders who are grounded, and who can embrace uncertainty with
equanimity. The PGP-BL was conceived precisely to address this need, identify
experienced
young minds and nurture and shape them into high potential leaders who are
authentic, capable, multi-dimensional, and grounded in core values.
I heartily welcome you to be part of IIM Kozhikode's PGP-BL initiative. Our vision
for this programme will be incomplete without your participation, as only you can
enable our young Arjunas to fulfill their potential, by selecting those who will align
with your own visionary plans. In this PGP-BL class of 2020, you will discover the
phenomenal diversity that IIM Kozhikode has always championed. You will find
high performers from diverse industries, including empowered young women who
have excelled in manufacturing and engineering sectors. You will find
entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial minds. It's my conviction that you will find
your future ready leaders who encompass unyielding determination, humility,
integrity, and wholeness in their thoughts and actions. We present to you, a
vibrant new class of 2020.
Thank you for partnering with us! Warm Regards
Prof Debashis Chatterjee
Director, IIM Kozhikode

Placement Chairperson’s Message

IIM Kozhikode has brought a non-traditional and unique approach
to both selection and course design of the PGP-BL, to help attract
and channel young but experienced and energetic minds into a
potential leadership track. This PGP-BL 2020 batch is wonderfully
diverse, mentally agile, responsible and fundamentally grounded.
They combine acumen, sound reasoning, ingenuity, maturity and
a positive attitude. Alongside a rigorous academic regimen, we
gave them the space to learn and grow through multi-facted
exposure, reflection and experimentation, and the opportunity to
distil their past experience through newly acquired knowledge.
We have sought to reinforce in them, the core values underlying
timeless Indian wisdom, of Satyam (Authenticity), Nityam
(Sustainability) and Poornam (Wholeness). In facilitating the
growth of this
cohort, as programme directors, we also feel vinidicated in seeing
the energy, teamwork and creative expressions they are bringing
to bear in a range of co-curriculur and extra- curricular initiatives.
We wholeheartedly welcome you to interact and engage with our
PGP-BL 2020 batch. We are confident that an engagement with
your organization would result in a mutually beneficial
partnership, as you give them the opportunity to give expression
to their potential and as they fulfil their leadership promise in
bringing value to your organization.
With Warm Regards
Prof. Qamber Abidi
