The participant with the highest quantum jump in salary package of 342% over the last package, says, "Working for a leading industrial house in the field of Manufacturing was a pleasant experience, but I strongly felt the need for a Business Management education for an accelerated growth of my professional track.
Today I am thrilled and excited to have received an offer from one of the leading global consultancy firms, where I would be able to leverage my previous experience and contribute effectively on a global platform."

Prof. Sunil Rai, Chairperson of the PGDM program, had this to say: "A number of participants had chosen to join SPJIMR's PGDM program looking for value addition at a critical juncture of their professional careers. The PGDM program architecture was designed on the SPJIMR ethos of value-based and dynamically innovative pedagogy. This is the only one-year program in the country to offer specialisations in Information Management and Operations & Manufacturing. This makes the SPJIMR PGDM program a sought after program to help professionals to explore advancements and career shifts successfully. Some of the dramatic career shifts made by participants of the program include: A lady participant from the Merchant Navy joining one of the retail giant."

The lady participant from the Merchant Navy, Sonika Joshi, the first woman Officer Cadet from India, had this to say, "I feel that this dramatic career shift from the Merchant Navy to high growing Retail Business area would not had been possible without the extremely valuable inputs and training I received at SP Jain. I feel that my people and project management skills from my professional experience and the business knowledge from SPJIMR will propel me to great heights."

Prof. Abbasali Gabula, Chairperson, External Relations & Placements, said, "SPJIMR plans to drive the one year program to a greater milieu of professionals by adding diversed but relevant courses as elective from January 2008. The institute strongly feels that the huge growth of economy and the rapid industrialisation will need an unprecedented number of managers empowered with the learnings of a management education and endeavours to meet a significant number of these requirements of the industry."
