Think of your three most capable mid-level managers. Technically strong. Deeply trusted. Probably the people you turn to when something needs to get done.
Now ask: can they read a P&L and act on it? Can they make a pricing decision, challenge a supply chain assumption, or build a business case that holds up in a boardroom? Can they lead a team through change, not just manage it through a project plan?
That gap - between functional excellence and business leadership - is exactly what the Executive Business Management Program at IGTC is built to close.
A Program Built for Real Business Impact
Over 12 months on alternate weekends (for managers working in Mumbai and Pune) or over 16 months – 9 days every quarter (for managers working across India), EBMP reshapes how they think, decide, and lead. It is inspired by the German Dual System of "Learning by Doing": every concept learned in the classroom is applied to a real challenge in the participant's own organisation.
What the programme covers (312 hours · 52 days · 16 modules)
Strategy & Competitive Analysis · Financial & Cost Management · Marketing & Consumer Behaviour · Operations Management · Supply Chain & Logistics · Economics for Managers · International Business & Trade Policy · International Finance · Emerging Leadership · Design Thinking · Quantitative Methods · Strategic Cost & Profitability · Business Law · Corporate Tax · Project Management · Capstone Business Project
What they leave with:
Over 12 months, managers build capability, not just cover content. They learn to:
- Understand the economic and strategic forces shaping business decisions
- Read financial information and connect it to managerial action
- Make informed decisions across marketing, sales, and customers
- Treat operations and supply chains as strategic levers, not cost centres
- Lead people and organisations through change
- Work across functions rather than within functional silos
- Imbibe strategic thinking - markets, competition, costs, pricing - seen as a whole
- Apply structured problem-solving to a real business challenge
- Develop and present a business case that can withstand management scrutiny
Where Learning Meets the Boardroom: The Capstone Project
Every EBMP cohort culminates in a live business plan. Groups of 3 - 4 managers work on a real strategic challenge from their own organisations: a new market to enter, a technology to indigenise, a product to launch, a service to design. They build the full business case - market analysis, P&L projections, DCF and sensitivity analysis - and present it to a panel of senior faculty. Themes from past cohorts:
