About the Programmes

1. Post Graduate Diploma in Management

Subjects like Turnaround Strategies for sick units, Strategic Management, E-commerce, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Emotional Intelligence, Supply Chain Management (SCM), and many more, have been incorporated in the curriculum to expose students to real life industry situations, and to sharpen their thinking prowess, ability to innovate and provide solutions (e.g., liquidity crunch, IR regulations, mergers, market structure, etc.).

2. Postgraduate Diploma in Management - E-Business
This program comprehensively covers various core knowledge subjects in general management area such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Operations. This provides the students with the fundamental foundations to manage any business. The business management subjects are blended with a range of special subjects that provide an understanding of underlying technologies and concepts that make e-Business possible. The emphasis is on teaching how to utilize technology as a means to an end and not an end in itself. The program enables the managers to apply concepts learned to make the dynamic, competitive and challenging business environment more efficient and effective. It also provides an opportunity to students to focus on high growth and techno-savvy industry verticals such as Banking, Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, FMCG, IT, BPO, etc.



3. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Business Design)
This program combines the conceptual knowledge about various subjects related to Innovation, Creativity and Design Management with those of advanced business skills in order to create a breed of future managers who have a unique blend of management competencies and design
thinking. This program provides a unique opportunity for students to not merely learn the conventional and time-tested methods and business rules but also ignites their latent creative skills and teaches them the way designers think, and more importantly, marry the two so that design becomes a backbone for everything that a manager does in business. The need for the course also arises because there are two different groups in an organization - Designers, who are technical and creative people, who have a very different way of approaching things and who are very loyal to their art, and Business Managers on the other hand, who are focused on business outcomes. The Business Design program would create a new breed of business managers who are sensitive to design and human issues and yet have full sight of business outcomes.

4. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Retail Management) (Executive Program with Pantaloon)
Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. is the fastest growing retail chain in India. For the financial year ended June 2006, it had gross sales of Rs. 2,018.76 Crores. In the coming years, the objective of the company is to be the preferred retailer across income segments, geographies and product groups. Since retailers work directly with customers and there is need for good managerial talent to interpret and satisfy the needs and desires of customers, all this requires an education that is intensive, comprehensive and closely linked to the retail business world. The need is to have a program which has all the inherent features of a business management program and includes experiential learning throughout the program. To meet the growing needs of talent for Pantaloon Retail India Ltd., Welingkar presents a unique business management program which provides rigorous business and management education as well as functional specialization in Retail Management, and an opportunity to work with India's premier retail organization after successful completion of the program.
