The institute has world class facilities and resources that provide a holistic learning environment. FPM curriculum is designed in a way to nurture critical thinking abilities and develops a solid foundation in research methodology. My sincere thanks to all the Faculty members, staff, and everyone at IIMK family for their support and altruism.

I embarked on my research journey as a candidate of the first batch of FPM in the beautiful environs of IIM Kozhikode. The rigorous FPM and PGP courses in our curriculum helped me develop a multi-disciplinary outlook and strong teaching abilities. The encouragement of my thesis supervisor, Dr. Rupesh Pati, and generous support of the Institute, enabled my research excellence in the field of Supply Chain Management through conferences, journal publications, international collaborations and research projects such as the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute Internship at HEC Montreal. Since inception, IIMK’s Fellow Programme has quickly become a stepping stone to world-class academic careers.

Based on many years of experience in top management positions, I can attest that numerous problems exist in managing projects, products, people, and organizations. These problems are persistent mainly because our methods have become rote and fixated. And there is not much science in the managerial work. It was therefore with an active expectation of discovery that I enrolled for the FPM program at IIM Kozhikode. As I was returning to academics after many years, I was also hesitant about my ability to perform in a field that appeared quite alien. I am glad I enrolled. FPM at IIMK is backed by an extraordinarily talented faculty, an excellent library system, very cooperative staff, and a sylvan campus setting - all contribute to making it a very strong program. I have been amazed at the speed with which the program transformed me from industry to research as I experienced other scholars at the many international conferences. I would rank the program above many other IIMs and top B-schools. If you are looking for research, IIMK is a very safe bet.

As because I was in academics before joining IIMK, pursuing PHD or equivalent degree course was essential not only from the job market perspective but also to become a complete academician. Having a world class research infrastructure and a pool of top notch faculty, IIMK can never be a second choice to enroll for FPM. IIMK not only provided a quality environment to complete my research work but also provided healthy, comfortable and pleasant stay (with family) inside the campus during my FPM. In the god's own country and in god's own campus, it was a transformational experience. Thank you IIMK.

The quality of academic infrastructure together with the serene atmosphere at IIM Kozhikode offers a perfect setting for intellectual development. FPM at IIM Kozhikode also helped me to evolve on both professional and personal front.

Currently, I am engaged at HDFC Mutual Funds as an Analytics expert, building statistical models using historical data of customers to predict future business. Prior to this, at IndiaFirst Life Insurance, we deployed statistical solutions leading to profits worth INR 6 crs for the company.
Proficiencies attained at IIMK are undoubtedly helping me to increase from strength to strength in my career. I am filled with gratitude towards my faculty members, mentors, and friends who have shaped my individuality. The strong conceptual foundations and cherished set of friends are my takeaways from the time spent here.
