During our association with the industry, it was recognized that there is a vast gap between the quality of private management education and the expectation of the industry. The founding members who were alumni from Carnegie Mellon University, Purdue and Wharton returned back from the US to design a world-class programme that meets industry expectations. During this process, faculty and alumni from IIMs and other top business schools in the world were also involved. I am pleased to say that the designed programme is well on its way to exceed students' and industries' expectations.
