Infinite potentials come to light when the managerial knowledge and technical knowledge come together or when the idea of an engineer is fortified by the expertise of a manager. Over last 10 years, PGPEX VLM jointly conducted by IIM Calcutta, IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras under the aegis of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and Government of India has been nurturing the best minds with a rich experience in manufacturing Industry. The PGPEX VLM course has been helping mid-level managers by offering an extraordinary platform to come out of the hurdles that they had endured during professional life.
