IIM Raipur Launches 12-Month Online General Management Programme for Professionals
The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur, in collaboration with edtech platform Emeritus, has launched a new Advanced Certificate Programme in General Management — a 12-month online course aimed at professionals seeking to build enterprise-level leadership skills for a digital-first world. The programme is set to begin on September 30, 2025, and is designed to prepare working professionals for cross-functional, tech-enabled, and innovation-driven leadership roles.
Designed for Today’s Business Leaders
This comprehensive online course targets early to mid-career professionals, including team leads, department heads, consultants, and entrepreneurs. Whether you’re managing a team, launching a startup, or overseeing operations, the programme provides essential tools to help participants navigate today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
It is especially relevant for professionals who wish to integrate strategic thinking, technology adoption, and data-driven decision-making into their leadership approach — critical skills for succeeding in the modern workplace.
Key Programme Features
The curriculum combines foundational business knowledge with emerging technologies and strategic leadership practices. Participants will learn from experienced IIM Raipur faculty through a mix of live and recorded online sessions. The course spans a range of core business domains, including:
- Strategy and Innovation
- Operations and Supply Chain
- Finance and Marketing
- Human Resource Management
In addition, participants will explore trending and future-ready topics such as:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI)
- Business Analytics
- Digital Transformation
- Cloud and emerging tech trends
The programme includes 10+ live faculty-led classes and six expert-led masterclasses featuring real-world applications of AI and digital strategy in leadership. Participants will also have the option to attend a campus immersion and networking event at IIM Raipur, offering valuable peer interaction and industry exposure.
Who Can Apply?
The programme is open to any graduate (10+2+3) from a recognised institution — Indian or international — approved by bodies like UGC, AICTE, DEC, AIU, or their global equivalents. It is best suited for working professionals looking to upgrade their business knowledge without pausing their careers.
The course is priced at ₹1,45,000 + GST, and flexible learning makes it accessible for those balancing full-time jobs with education.
What Participants Gain
Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from IIM Raipur. More importantly, they will be granted alumni status from the prestigious B-school, allowing them to access exclusive benefits such as:
- Career Support Services (resume building, interview prep)
- Access to IIMJobs Pro Membership
- Networking opportunities with the IIM Raipur alumni community
These benefits add long-term value, especially for those looking to transition into leadership roles, switch industries, or scale their own ventures.
Why This Programme Stands Out
According to the EY CEO Outlook Pulse Survey 2025, over 88% of Indian CEOs now consider upskilling and leadership development a top priority. This programme by IIM Raipur directly addresses that need by offering a flexible, future-focused management course tailored for real-world impact.
Backed by IIM Raipur — ranked 14th in the NIRF Management Category 2024 and a member of the AACSB Business Education Alliance — the course is firmly positioned within the new wave of digital executive education. It blends academic rigour with the flexibility and reach of online learning, making it ideal for today’s dynamic professionals.
Whether you’re aiming for career advancement, a domain shift, or entrepreneurial success, the IIM Raipur General Management Programme offers a practical and prestigious path forward. With its balanced focus on leadership, digital fluency, and cross-functional expertise, the programme empowers professionals to thrive in the age of digital transformation.
