Said Dean Dr. Ranjan Banerjee: “The ‘R’ in our name, SPJIMR, has always stood for research. By this programme, we are strengthening that ‘R’. We believe the best way to change people and practice is by the changing the way people think, by disseminating current theory and by creating new theories. This programme is a beginning in that direction.”
Dr. Snehal Shah, Chairperson of the FPM programme, said: “This is a momentous day in the history of SPJIMR. We have been talking about how we can create a culture of innovation, research and creativity. FPM participants will be important stakeholders in creating that culture.” She said by doing research and possibly going on to teach, FPM participants will have the opportunity to build and grow with a contributor mindset and help the nation to build great researchers and teachers.
The five FPM participants who form the maiden batch of the FPM are: Gaurav Karkhanis, Abhinav Tripathi, Suresh Chandnani, Surabhi Jain and Ambika Nanda.
The FPM programme said the participants would be encouraged to undertake interdisciplinary research that is required in today’s time to address complex and often unstructured problems that face organizations and society at large.
