IIM Indore offers several executive programmes in UAE, Middle East, and GCC nations. One of such programmes is the General Management Programme for Working Executives – GMPe Dubai. The valedictory function of the sixth batch of this programme took place at IIM Indore on July 01, 2022. The event took place in the presence of Prof. Himanshu Rai, Director, IIM Indore. Prof. Subin Sudhir, Chair – Executive Education, and Prof. Manoj Motiani, Programme Coordinator, GMPe, were also present on occasion.
In his address, Prof. Rai shared his mantra of navigating through several hardships and challenges with the participants. He mentioned that we as humans usually encounter situations that appear hard to overcome, and we tend to get scared. ‘However, you need to develop courage not just to fight against such external challenges but also your internal fears. You might be scared of what is going around you or what will happen next. He said you need to practise courage and bravery and overcome these unprecedented fears. He advised the graduating batch to take the first step ahead in any situation, for that decides whether you could be a success. ‘Anytime in your life if you doubt your capabilities, look back and analyze how far you have come already’, he said. Take responsibility for yourself and the people around you. In this busy life, pause to introspect and reflect –that would help you identify your purpose. ‘There might be a phase when nothing goes your way, and things are immensely overwhelming. However, remember, this too shall pass. What is yours today was someone else’s yesterday – and will belong to someone else tomorrow. This feeling would give you peace of mind. You will become more giving and will earn the gratitude of people – which is priceless’, he concluded.
Dr. Mahesh Chotrani & Mr. Manohar Punjabi, Founder Directors, Anisuma Training Institute, also congratulated the batch for completing the programme. Participants of the GMPe batch 6 shared their experiences during the programme. They noted that the robustly designed programme by IIM Indore has upskilled them and augmented their understanding of management. Prof. Rai also gave the certificates of completion to all the 47 participants. Ten participants in the batch were from the GCC nations.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks by Prof. Motiani. With this, the total number of alumni in UAE, Middle East, and GCC nations has crossed 500, with more than 60 female alumni.
