"I owe my success to IIMC for providing me greater insights of thinking ability. As an individual if we can manage to put the right ingredients together (facts and assumptions) then the accuracy of decision making becomes manifold and I think that is my biggest takeaway from IIMC.  Today I am an AVP of an IT company (Kale Consultants Ltd) in the Airline domain. Although I do not belong to the Airlines background in any way, today I am successfully leading a big market place making my organization the number one in the world even though it is an India-Based Organization. After I completed NIIT/IIM C APSM Program, there was a radical change in the way I have started making things work for me."

"Doing a regular Diploma course, does get you a certification on the same lines as an Executive program. However the edge is the depth of knowledge one gains from a program from IIMC which has multiple professors as well as participants with amazing amount of knowledge, experiences, examples to give for each issue/strategy. This can come only through a program which is well rehearsed, thought out and created to benefit everyone. The discussions here are deeper, they are to the point, related to the subject matter, several examples are given to further understand well. There is a fair chance given to one and all to ensure participations at all levels and locations. In a classroom, one would also do similar activities but there could be overshadowing of the less smart by the smartest. The strategic thinking required/done by the senior management is understood well after attending the course. The course has given me a larger perspective of strategy right from inception to implementation."
