As the world is finally emerging from the throes of 2019 pandemic and it’s after effects, things are starting to get back on track. In this process, the depths of reinvention that we as a society went through in the way we live, work, research, study, or do business is a moment of reckoning. These turbulent times have taught us that we have to constantly adapt and evolve ourselves in order to stay relevant in this frenetically disruptive world.
IIM Lucknow, since its inception, has always kept this theme of continual improvement in its ambit and aimed for giving to the world forward-thinking and agile leaders. In line with this thought, the International Programme in Management for Executives (IPMX) was conceived. Carrying forward this legacy, we are delighted to introduce you to the brilliant participants of IPMX 15. Our bright and highly driven Class of 2023 consists of a rare combination of students from a variety of industries and functional domains, holding rich and transformative experiences.
At this moment, it is also crucial for us at IIM Lucknow to reflect on our IPMX alumni who’ve made undeniable impact in the society by being change agents and leaders in their respective domains. We are extremely proud of them and we continue to be their trusted partners in their roads less travelled.
With this, I am delighted to welcome you all to the placement season 2022-23.
IPMX is an intensive one-year residential MBA programme designed to refine and augment the skills of professionals who have been consistent performers throughout their respective career tracks. The selection is through an exacting process ensuring individual competence, high intellect, and ability to adapt and lead.
The meticulously designed curriculum of IPMX places a strong focus on applying theoretical concepts to real-world business scenarios, using an applied learning approach that combines case study pedagogy, live projects, course of independent studies along with an International immersion module to provide a world-wide business exposure to our students. The world-renowned faculty at IIM-L provides an excellent mentorship to our students, making certain that we have the most skilled managers stepping out in the corporate world to meet their requirements of achieving high pedestals year after year. The rigorous schedule also instils an indefatigable spirit in the students, ensuring they emerge as the best versions of themselves.
Even during the difficult periods of COVID-19, our IPMX participants exhibited exemplary courage and maturity to not only accept the immense uncertainty of those times but also focus on their desired goals, building leadership and managerial skills by competing in such a rigorous program.
I am convinced that the IPMX – 15 students have what it takes to be a change agent and would be an immense asset to your organisation in managing strategic shifts and creating new growth strategies in this dramatically changing competitive environment.

The pandemic has revealed that the global business environment which was already fast-paced has now become unfamiliar as well. This unprecedented time has increasingly changed the role of leadership in organizations and put it under a spotlight, drawing importance towards transformational leadership and integrated decision making. On this front, our flagship one-year full time MBA program at IIM Lucknow – IPMX, has consistently delivered thought leaders since its inception in 2008.
The global pandemic led to a paradigm shift in the way we deliver education. Online learning became the panacea for learning and supporting our students’ wellbeing. Despite such challenging times, I am extremely proud of the unflinching and unwavering resolute of our students, faculty and management, which enabled us to seamlessly switch over to the hybrid mode of imparting knowledge for our previous batch. This was achieved, without compromising on the quality of delivery, as well as learning.
The world now seems to have emerged out of this crisis and we have also bounced back to full time classroom learning. It gives me immense pleasure to introduce to you the 15th batch of IPMX who have passed a rigorous admission process that puts emphasis on selecting the individuals who can inspire those around them, during as well as beyond the program.
After 14 years of fruitful industry partnership, we look forward to another exciting year. I am extremely confident that our students of the class of 2022-2023, like in our earlier batches, would go on to add significant value to the society and organizations.
I am happy to welcome you to the IPMX placement process for the year 2022-23.
