Post Graduate Program In Management - Great Lakes

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR PGPM
In a short span of eight years, the Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai has succeeded in carving a niche
for itself among the top tier management institutions in the country. With an emphasis on creating Day One Job
Ready Managers and Future Business Leaders, Great Lakes has undertaken a revolutionary design in
management education through an innovative 1 year program and a carefully selected intake of students with
significant prior work experience, who are equipped to take the fullest advantage of the exceptionally rigorous and
demanding nature of the customized curriculum. With its collaborative arrangements with business schools across
the globe, a supporting pool of visiting and adjunct faculty from top International B-Schools such as Kellogg,
Stanford, Harvard, IIT Chicago, Columbia, Yale, among many others, supported by a group of core faculty who
have themselves excelled in the finest B Schools, Great Lakes is the embodiment of its underlying philosophy:
Global Mindset - Indian Roots. Our in-house academic exertions are complemented by insightful guest lectures
delivered by personalities with a record of outstanding accomplishments in all walks of life, providing a deeper
perspective to the ideas and practice of management to the student body.
Great Lakes’ state of the art, eco-friendly green campus sets the tone for a dynamic environment that plays a great
role in motivating everyone – faculty, staff and students – to deliver their best.
At Great Lakes, we encourage learning by doing. The culture in Great Lakes facilitates not only learning from
academicians and eminent industry captains but peer learning as well. Aided by the latest technology, a continually
evolving curriculum, and constant corporate interaction, our students are transformed from being first class
management students into astute Thought Leaders who are ready to take on the challenges of the corporate world,
both in India and abroad.
Our signature enterprise, the Karma Yoga project, aims at Great Lakers helping local NGOs and the
underprivileged to give them a fighting chance at the future besides inculcating in our students, who will be future
managers and leaders, a sense of social responsibility and the ‘art of giving’ back to the greater society which has
brought them to Great Lakes.
Like the old days at the great port of Mamallapuram where great Indian explorers set out on voyages of discovery
and adventure, Great Lakes offers you the best B-School graduates in the country, ready to set out on their
corporate journeys. It is my pleasure to invite you to Placements 2013.
