Great Lakes Institute of Management has come a long way since its inception in 2004. Within this short span of time, it has emerged as one of the leading business schools in India. It aspires to be among the top 5 Management Institutes in Asia over the next five years. Great Lakes produces “Business Ready Managers” who epitomize its motto “Global Mindset Indian Roots” Great Lakes has a rich culture which is a perfect blend of Academics, Team Leadership and continuous innovation making it a wonderful place to learn and teach. The dynamic environment there plays a great role in motivating everyone - Faculty, staff and students to deliver their best. We have a truly world class faculty from the top International B-Schools such as Kellogg, Stanford, Harvard, Chicago, Columbia, Yale, among many others. This is supplemented by insightful guest lectures by eminent personalities from the industry.

The one-year Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) lays the foundation for conceptual and analytical reasoning and gives the students an insight into the dynamics of the corporate world. Great Lakes Institute of Management has always strived to create a learning culture where individual vision, intellectual discipline, and teamwork are valued. The culture in Great Lakes facilitates not only learning from academicians and eminent industry folk but peer learning as well.

Aided by the latest technology, a scientifically designed curriculum, and continuous corporate interaction, our students are transformed from being first class management students into astute thought leaders. With China on such a rampant growth path, we believe that there needs to be an additional effort to learn from them, our peers in the business world. A course in Mandarin, compulsory at Great Lakes, provides an initial impetus to succeed in this area.

Giving back to society helps make every one of us become a well rounded human being. The Karma Yoga project aims at achieving just that. Great Lakers help with local NGOs and the underprivileged to give them a fighting chance at the future.

With all of these and so much more, your time at Great Lakes is not just a year in a business school; it is an experience that will mould you into a better person and a champion. You will cherish this year for the rest of your lives.

I thank you for your interest in Great Lakes. We would be very happy to provide any additional information you may require on our school and its programmes.

With Best Wishes,

Dr. Narendar V. Rao
PGPM Director.
