For someone aiming to shift into a leadership or consulting role in 2025, the IIM Ahmedabad Executive MBA (PGPX) offers solid value. It’s not a weekend or part-time format—it’s a 1-year, full-time program designed for professionals with around 8–12 years of experience, often already in mid-management.

The 2024 batch saw median salaries of ₹36 LPA, and international offers touched ₹80 LPA. Job roles included strategy head, digital transformation lead, and product director. Career growth is often the main driver here, especially for those moving to new sectors like digital, sustainability, or global operations. The classroom experience also stands out because of the high-caliber peer group—professionals from Deloitte, Microsoft, Tata, and more.

Beyond the network, what makes PGPX impactful is its industry-relevant electives and international exposure. Courses like digital business strategy and AI for executives prepare candidates for fast-changing markets. For professionals willing to step away from their job for a year, it’s a fast, high-ROI path to senior roles.
