- Communication skills: Ability to communicate in a business context with confidence, bringing in a considered and well-articulated point of view.

This programme provides direct instruction from SPJIMR's distinguished faculty, who teach the on-campus programmes. Your learning experience will include live sessions with faculty and industry experts, videos explaining key concepts, and interactive work sessions.
You can learn at your own pace, and the programme offers flexible scheduling to accommodate work commitments. You'll also have three optional on-campus immersions at the SPJIMR Mumbai campus, scheduled in Term II, III and V.
The programme offers opportunities for leadership development through the Development of Corporate Citizenship initiative, which includes working with NGOs. Peer learning is also a key part of the programme, with flexible interactive sessions scheduled on Sunday morning or Tuesday evening. You'll have guidance and support from the SPJIMR faculty and programme office throughout the two-year programme.
