3 Dean s Message Padma Shri Bala V Balachandran Founder & Dean, Great Lakes Institute of Management J L Kellogg Distinguished Professor (Emeritus in Service) of Accounting and Information Management, Northwestern University, Illinois, USA Dear friends, Throughout the last decade Great Lakes has been a pioneer in delivering perfectly crafted courses to suit the needs of the entire bandwidth of professionals in the country. While setting up Great Lakes Institute of Management in 2004, I had a very simple objective in mind that of providing the best management education to the entire professional population in the country. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity of being associated with some of the best b-schools in the USA. At the same time I amassed a wealth of experience by actively participating in the management education landscape of not only India (with the MDI and the ISB) but also in other Asian countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Seoul and Hong Kong. While each experience provided valuable learnings, the moot points of consideration were quality, affordability and flexibility. Setting up Great Lakes was therefore a natural progression a b-school where I wished to integrate the western management thought with the Asian ethos and value systems. Thus, throughout the last decade Great Lakes has been a pioneer in delivering perfectly crafted courses to suit the needs of the entire bandwidth of professionals in the country. Once again,as we enter our next decade of services to the cause of Management education, Great Lakes is proud to present yet another custom-created program. In conjunction with our e-learning partner Great Learning we are delighted to offer the PGPM-Ex program - a completely re-imagined management program for working professionals.

10 Alumni Speak For an engineering graduate like me, economics was all Greek and Latin. The topic needed a very good introduction. The faculty was able to convey the concepts in a way which I could understand and relate to RELEVANT EXAMPLES AND CASE STUDIES. The study materials complemented to what was discussed in the class. It was a great experience. The faculty is great. They present the concepts in a very easy manner and the sessions are HIGHLY INTERACTIVE. They use live examples and case-studies that help understand the concepts in a much easier manner. - Sushant Sharma Lead Engineer Target - Sanath Hosur Ramesh Project Manager Software AG The FLEXIBILITY AND THE QUALITY OF THE PROGRAM are the two things that stand out for me. The program delivery model (blended) and schedule of the program made me choose Great Lakes over others and I was assured that the quality of education is on par with other premier institutes. I chose Great Lakes because of the BRAND NAME. I have pursued a similar program in the past but it didn t really add any value to my career. The faculty at Great Lakes was extremely knowledgeable and explained the concepts really well. - Sandeep Naryan Kulkarni Project Manager Cognizant Technology - Arun Vasu Sriranga Associate Cognizant
