Director's Message
Dr. Vishal Talwar
Director
Welcome to IMT Ghaziabad.
Learning once again takes centre stage as we plan ahead for a different world – a world that is globalised but also pushing towards regionalisation and localisation – where machines and technology are playing much bigger roles – where small kids are born into a tech driven environment – where business models have overnight turned from a competitive advantage into competitive disadvantage and vice-versa.
At IMT, we believe that this change increases the relevance of a good business education. The skillset it enables, the analytical orientation, problem solving capability, decision making, leadership and social influence, emotional intelligence – all this is very important as we plan for the next many years of our economic lives. The changed world will require new messages, new leadership approaches, new narratives, new skills – it will require management graduates to stand up for the challenge.
Ron Heifetz once stated that business leaders not only have to do the dance but also observe the dance from the balcony. At IMT Ghaziabad, we focus on every student and enable a seamless integration of technological/data analysis capability, core domain knowledge and a useful inclusion of liberal subjects. Young graduates are expected to provide economic value from a very early stage. This is only possible if students go through the right immersive experience. During their time here, IMTians are exposed to a holistic approach to learning that enables overall development. The experiential nature of education lays great emphasis on inculcating business values and skills required for complex decision-making and problem solving.
IMT Ghaziabad faculty have diverse research interests and are publishing at the highest levels, shaping management thought and practice. Our alumni serve with distinction in senior business positions across the world. Our talented and hardworking students are trained to contribute to the organizations they work for. In addition to the Post Graduate Management programs, IMT serves the corporate world through its Executive Learning and Development programmes, consultancy and research.
I invite you to read further and visit our campus to see first-hand the strides we are making.
