As a professional in top-tier Investment Banking, I sought an Executive Programme to enhance my strategic and critical thinking. The year-long EPGSBL not only broadened my perspective but also equipped me with the skills to make strategic decisions in VUCA situations. Special thanks to Professors Biswatosh Saha and Kaushik Roy for their interactive sessions, transforming the way I approach strategic challenges. The use of real case examples and discussions on company growth and trade-offs was invaluable. The campus immersion felt like a dream come true, studying in a premium business school.
