MESSAGE

n an increasingly volatile business environment, we require agile and
Iable leaders, more than ever before. Our flagship program at IIM
Lucknow - IPMX (The International Programme in Management for
Executives) has consistently delivered on this front, since its inception
in the year 2008.
It is a proud moment for us to present the current and 12th batch
of IPMX, which is an eclectic mix of experienced professionals from
diverse industries and functions, who are as skilled in professional
parameters as they are in other spheres of life.
It is worth noting that owing to the demand for seasoned management
professionals, a cadre of MBAs that is constantly making its value
realized by organizations globally, the IPMX cohort has more than
doubled in size compared to previous years. Peer learning this year
is taking place amongst 97 experienced management professionals.

We look forward to building on the immense goodwill of IIM Lucknow
and carrying forward the legacy of providing the highest quality
management education and fresh perspectives to our students, as they
prepare to address the business challenges, which await them.
