For me, personally, the programme has helped me understand my key strengths, which sometimes are not that obvious to me. I can now take this wisdom with me, and continue learning as I grow.” It's a great mix of people from different industries, backgrounds and levels. So you learn not just from the faculty, but also from the classmates—which is a larger learning opportunity, because you get to understand what’s happening in their individual industries, and how they handle issues and solve problems. If you are looking at taking your career to the next level, whether it’s a lateral or a vertical move, or if you’re thinking about starting your own business, I would strongly recommend that you consider SMP, because it provides you with a holistic idea about what you need so as to achieve your goal.

With overall experience of more than 20 years, I am presently dealing with Electrical power, automation, Law enforcement, R& D, oil and Gas and manufacturing Industries. Halfway through the SMP, I got an opportunity to switch from my previous employment. Whatever I learnt during this program before appearing in this interview, helped me to get this much better opportunity with very high responsibilities.

SMP had an enormous impact on me. Usually most of us specialize in one area and tend to work only in that area. However good one may be, he/she can grow to only a certain level if one remains only as a specialist. Many professionals think that management skills are needed only for managers. Often we forget that the common milieu for all of us to be successful in life is our management skills.

Coming from a completely IT background, the opportunity to interact with senior professionals from various fields really helped look at things from a different perspective. The two campus visits made for an excellent opportunity to interact with the professors and fellow batch mates in person. It was a great networking opportunity.
