Having completing my FPM from IIM Kozhikode, I am currently employed with IIM Indore as Assistant Professor. My journey at IIM Kozhikode was intellectually stimulating and academically challenging. A rigorous coursework in the first two years ensured that I had a good base in relevant academic literature. This foundation was further nurtured by exceptional faculty mentors who patiently guided me. Early opportunities to assist faculty in teaching helped me learn the nuances of the trade effectively. IIM Kozhikode also gave me opportunities to explore non-academic fronts like football and basketball. Overall, the program is well designed to shape participants as better academicians

When I first set my foot in IIM Kozhikode, I had the dream of attaining a doctoral degree. The 6 years in the golden green campus taught me to aspire higher and higher. The campus is a knowledge hotpot with experts in all areas willing to converse with and impart knowledge to the students. The subject areas covered are also diverse and superior to even those in PhD programs in foreign universities. The reputation of the institution helps those students seeking opportunities abroad, as it certainly did in my case.
In addition to these, I also consider myself an example to demonstrate that a woman can have it all if she has the right support system around her. I was a mother of a 1 year old when I joined the FPM program in IIM Kozhikode, and had my second child during the program. However, in several ways, the institutional, infrastructural and emotional support offered by my teachers, colleagues and support staff of IIMK helped me survive the rigour of the program and to successfully complete it. Family accommodation and crèche facilities within the campus were a boon to me and others. IIMK does not set an expiry limit on anyone's ambitions, and expect only hard work in return. I would like to thank IIMK, my teachers, members of staff and my friends for the opportunity of a lifetime that shaped me as a researcher and a better human being.

The Fellow Programme in Management (PhD) at IIM Kozhikode offers an idyllic setting for asking questions and seeking answers. It guides eager minds to deconstruct what appears mundane, imagine beyond the obvious and yet be structured in their thought processes. IIM Kozhikode provides an enabling institutional set-up to help students emerge into independent researchers. I will forever be grateful.

The doctoral program at IIM Kozhikode is a truly amazing program that provides a right balance of three things that are vital for success of a doctoral scholar, An active mentor-ship, supportive financial and other research infrastructure across the University, and autonomy to students research interest. I enjoyed working with various faculty members both within and outside my committee. They always provided to me honest feedback and challenged me to stretch and grow. I appreciate the training I received to become an independent researcher and teacher, which helps me prepare my academic career. Pursuing the doctorate degree in this beautiful campus was an wonderful experience.

Choice of FPM at IIM Kozhikode is the best decision I have ever made in my life. FPM@IIMK sharpens the researcher in you. The rigorous coursework and research process equip you to explore beyond the horizons and thereby expand your frontiers of knowledge. This program provide all supportive infrastructure which include excellent faculty guidance, library support and a learning atmosphere that ensure a memorable and worthwhile thesis journey for doctoral students. Proud to be an FPM@IIMK.
