Faculty speaks

I enjoyed interacting with and getting to know some fantastic individuals who enrolled in my Negotiations elective from the PGPX batch of 2023-24. If the
lively and engaging interactions during the class were any indication, I'm sure your batch will be highly successful and have a fulfilling career in whatever
you choose to do. Go out, negotiate your way out of life's trials and tribulations, pursue your dreams, create value for society, and make us proud as
illustrious alumni of this distinguished institute!! Remember that we are all rooting for you. - Amit K Nandkeolyar

Congratulations PGPX 24! I had a great time interacting with you in GTE. The FGDs with the PGPX students, as part of the CFD, also helped me interact
with you and to see first hand how deeply you care about IIMA. Please keep visiting campus, and please try to take out time for chai when on campus. I
am sure you will make great lives for yourselves. Best wishes, Jeevant. - Jeevant Rampal

"Friends, As you spread your wings to soar higher, a verse from my favorite song of Greed Day rings in my ears: "So take the photographs and still frames
in your mind Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial For what it's worth, it was worth all the while It's
something unpredictable But in the end, it's right I hope you had the time of your life"" Let there be an "X" factor of PGP-X and IIMA in everything you
dream and do. May the river of life take you through spectacular landscapes! Warm wishes, Prof Rajesh Pandit" - Prof Rajesh Pandit

"I have enjoyed teaching cine-x course along with my colleague prof Anamika Dey. The participants not only brought rich insights in the class but in
several cases went beyond the normal boundary of course responsibilities. I admire such proactive approach to connect corporations & communities
besides shaping a platform for mobilising mentors from formal sector fr innovators from informal & formal Sector. I convey my best wishes to the outgoing
batch in their future endeavours, meaningful & purposeful as they may be." - Prof. Anil Gupta

"Dear PGPX Class of 2023-24, It has been an absolute privilege to teach all of you this past year. As you move forward into the next stages of your careers,
I hope you carry the lessons you have learned both inside and outside of the classrooms at IIMA. Your PGPX journey has equipped you not just with
cutting-edge management capabilities, but also a sense of purpose. You have the power to shape organizations and impact communities. Use it wisely.
I wish for each of you lives filled with meaning, growth and fulfillment. You carry forth the legacy of this great institution. Make it proud. Define success on
your own enlightened terms. Bring out the best in others. Open doors for those less privileged. Heal divides through empathy and understanding.
Keep learning - about the world, about its people and about your own biases and limitations. And as someone said, ""Live so that when your children think
of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you."" Stay connected and let us know how your stories unfold. The world awaits you. Onward!
Anish" - Prof. Anish Sugathan

"T'was fun teaching the batch of '24 Seeing their entrepreneurial feelings come to the fore Still placements made them so tense
The race to be consultants made no sense Hope their unicorns soon become part of IIM-A folklore" - Prof. Apurv Nagpal

Yet another academic year draws to a close, and it is time to bid farewell to this year’s graduating batch. My first, in many years, where I could interact
with the entire batch since I taught a core course in Term 1 across both the sections. It was amazing to see the enthusiasm in the class in Term 1 from a
bunch of “veterans” returning to academics after years of laboring in the outside world. Over the months, the energy gave way to more measured respons-
es, the heightened activity at the beginning was substituted by more thoughtful reactions and, perhaps a bit of tiredness also set in due to the continued
cognitive stress. All in all, it has been a very satisfying experience interacting with this batch and I do hope to stay in touch over the years. My best wishes
to each one of you for your future pursuits, and just a reminder that there will always be someone here on campus, holding up the light for you and welcom-
ing you back to your alma mater. Adios for now and stay well!! - Prof. Arindam Banerjee

"Good wishes, Atanu Ghosh I have developed and offered an elective course titled- "" Management of Strategic Alliances"" for the first time. There was a
very small number of registrations for the course. However, I found the students to be extremely engaged during the sessions and participated in the discus-
sions. With the constant changes in the external environment and complexity of running a business, most of the organisations will not be able to focus on
all activities of the value chain and excel in it. Therefore, organisations will be required to either ally with or acquire other organisations, which have comple-
mentary skills and capabilities, are compatible and comfortable to support each other.
Hence the art of managing alliances would be a very useful, significant and sought after capability. I feel the students who registered for this course have
fully appreciated learning from this course and developed a much better understanding of the subject, after going to the course.
I hope they will be able to make use of the knowledge gained for the organisations they will work for and make a meaningful positive contribution.
What was observed while teaching this course was that the preparations required before the class were missing or grossly inadequate. Had that happened,
sessions would have been more interesting and engaging. " - Prof. Atanu Ghosh
