IIMB’s Strategy Consulting program has helped me to gain a very good understanding about the industry. The theoretical principles, along with the practical experience in form of conducted case studies have been a valuable resource which provided me with a foundation for later projects I have handled in the past six months. I would like to highlight how the frameworks I learned have added value at work. Dr.Ganesh Prabu and Mr.Thomas Kuruvilla were the most amazing mentors and program coaches. The course also have been of great help connecting me to 40+ professionals with a similar interest area and exchanging notes on the topic even today.
