The New World Of Business Requires New Solutions

Business professionals have always had to adapt to changing circumstances, respond to challenges presented by the changes, and tap opportunities thrown up by them. However, the pace of change we are now experiencing is perhaps greater than ever before. Trends like digitalization, artificial intelligence, climate change, the sustainability imperative, and the availability of large-scale data and methods to analyze them make us face disruption on an unprecedented scale.

Organizations and professionals need to continuously upgrade their management and leadership capabilities to be able to handle this changing environment. This requires constant learning not only of the “harder” elements of business but also of the ever-important “soft” skills. The programs offered by IIM Udaipur Executive Education (IIMU ExEd) are anchored on the philosophy of providing a transformational learning experience for participants that enables meaningful and enduring change. IIMU ExEd aims to provide a platform for learning that catalyzes transformational change among participants and enables them to deliver competitive advantage and sustainable growth in the contemporary business scenario.

Director’s Message

Prof. Ashok Banerjee

Director, IIM Udaipur

In the short span of twelve years since its establishment, IIM Udaipur has made an undeniable mark in the fields of management research and education. This is evidenced by its track record of recognitions received by it from securing accreditation by the AACSB within just eight years of inception, featuring in the QS World University Masters-in-Management rankings, among the top 100 in the Financial Times Masters-in-Management rankings for five years in succession, and ranking 16th in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF). The Institute’s research output ranks 4th among Indian business schools based on the methodology deployed by UT Dallas’ Naveen Jindal School of Management. The Institute’s faculty, staff, students and alumni strive to work towards taking our place among the leading management schools of the world.

In recent years, IIM Udaipur has deployed its capabilities and resources to expand its activities into the field of executive education. This is an effort towards achieving the Institute’s mission of inspiring practice based on its thought leadership in research. In our executive education programs, we seek to combine the capabilities of our full-time and visiting faculty to bring industry-relevant research along with real world industry scenarios and experience to the classrooms. I am happy to note that the programs conducted by IIMU Executive Education (ExEd) have been well-received by a wide range of participants from diverse industries and sectors.

At IIM Udaipur, we are committed to developing progressive leaders who drive change. Even as we impart transformational learning, we also strengthen skillsets and help individuals realize their full leadership potential. In an ever-changing and challenging business environment, we aim to help organizations keep their human resources prepared, effective and motivated with programs that address their unique needs.

I look forward to your support and partnership in this endeavour.

Chairperson’s Message

Prof. Shobhit Aggarwal

Chairperson, Executive Education

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Executive Education at IIM Udaipur.

At IIM Udaipur, we take immense pride in being recognized among the top five research-focused management institutions in India. This distinction has been earned through a deep commitment to fostering a culture of collaboration, intellectual curiosity, and continuous learning — values that are deeply embedded in all our Executive Education offerings.

We view every organization that engages with us not merely as a client but as a strategic partner. Our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of each organization’s unique context, challenges, and aspirations. This enables us to design and deliver learning interventions that are truly customized and impactful. While this philosophy is most visible in our bespoke programs, it equally shapes the design of our open programs, where we strive to align content with the evolving needs of individual professionals.

Experiential learning lies at the heart of our pedagogy. We believe that real learning happens when participants engage deeply — not just with concepts, but with their application in real-world contexts. Our programs employ a diverse set of experiential methods including simulations, role plays, games, experiments, immersive case studies, and other interactive tools, carefully selected to match specific learning objectives.

Our open-enrollment programs draw on the deep domain expertise and research excellence of our faculty. These programs are crafted to equip professionals with the tools and insights they need to drive innovation, manage complexity, and lead with confidence in an ever-changing business landscape. Through Executive Education, IIM Udaipur aims to inspire action and influence practice by translating academic thought leadership into practical, context-relevant solutions.

We are committed to being your trusted partner in building professional and organizational capabilities. I invite you to engage with us on this journey of growth, learning, and transformation.
