    Batch: SMP 05

    SMP had an enormous impact on me. Usually most of us specialize in one area and tend to work only in that area. However good one may be, he/she can grow to only a certain level if one remains only as a specialist. Many professionals think that management skills are needed only for managers. Often we forget that the common milieu for all of us to be successful in life is our management skills.

    I am Vikas Srivastava , having over 18yrs of work experience in Sales and Business Development.The major reason to take up this program was to self-align on what is going on in the Domestic and International Market across fields.

    a. Complete understanding on subjects from Professor's.
    Organised content, Case studies. I would recommend this program to people who want to be seen and stood out among the masses.

    For me, personally, the programme has helped me understand my key strengths, which sometimes are not that obvious to me. I can now take this wisdom with me, and continue learning as I grow.”
    It's a great mix of people from different industries, backgrounds and levels. So you learn not just from the faculty, but also from the classmates—which is a larger learning opportunity, because you get to understand what’s happening in their individual industries, and how they handle issues and solve problems.
    If you are looking at taking your career to the next level, whether it’s a lateral or a vertical move, or if you’re thinking about starting your own business, I would strongly recommend that you consider SMP, because it provides you with a holistic idea about what you need so as to achieve your goal.
