India today is investing profoundly to build core infrastructure to support her accelerated economic growth. Her energy
sector itself is expected to attract over 300 billion dollars of investments in the next 5-years. This sector contributes to
8% of the country's GDP. The growth of the sector provides very lucrative career opportunities for young professionals

Vice Chairman's Message
Thanks for your interest in the Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) at GLIEMR, a program designed by highly
experienced and relevant experts to develop managers that would become the next generation of leaders in the dynamic global
energy sector.

The Energy sector globally is at an inflexion point with realization everywhere that status quo is not sustainable. Energy Security
and Climate Change are on every country's policy agenda. While developed countries are investing heavily in green energy and
introducing regulations to change their energy source mix, developing countries such as India are fighting hard to meet the energy
demand to sustain their growth and investing in all forms of energy. In particular, the Power and Renewable Energy sectors in India
are witnessing unprecedented investments and participation of private players, both domestic and international.

In such a scenario, the lack of suitably trained and knowledgeable human capital poses a major threat to the fructification of these
investments. As owners, investors, managers and consultants, the founding team and advisors of GLIEMR have experienced this
challenge first hand. Given that traditional business school curricula do not address the Energy sector, we felt the need for a
specialized management program tailored to the Energy sector, resulting in the development of the PGPM at GLIEMR. The PGPM
is unique in its vision, content, exposure and experience and will produce the most industry-ready managers for the Energy sector
in India with the knowledge and skills required to contribute meaningfully to their future employers from day one itself.

Additionally, right from its inception, GLIEMR has benefited from the support of key stakeholders such as the Ministry of Power
and MNRE, regulators such as CEA and CERC and our Corporate Partners who have helped design the curriculum, participated in
guest speaker sessions, hosted students at operational projects, etc. Our Corporate Partners include well known multinational and
domestic firms across the spectrum of the energy industry including equipment manufacturers like Andritz and Wartsila, Utility IT
companies like Ferranti, and developers like Athena, Asian Genco, Navyuga, Indbharat and Clean Energy Companies like Moser
Baer. This support of both Industry thought leaders and Corporates is an affirmation of the Institute's vision, relevance, timeliness
and goal to be the leading leadership and management development institute for the Energy sector.

A key highlight of the PGPM experience is the Industry lecture series which brings in Thought Leaders, Career Role Models,
Entrepreneurs and Leadership Trainers to the class, one every week to facilitate student's learning, exposure and help them
understand their own interests better. By such regular interactions, participation in many industry conferences and live projects at
companies, our candidates develop relevant practical knowledge and networks that would greatly contribute to their careers.
They also undergo focused training on essential skill areas like financial modelling and project management.

GLIEMR PGPM candidates are passionate about the Energy sector and its future and are highly motivated to pursue impactful
careers that this talent-hungry high growth sector offers. With an average pre-business school work experience of over two years
and two years of highly targeted and high quality learning, they would be ready to take up challenging positions of responsibility in
dynamic organizations in the Energy sector.

“The academic curriculum and pedagogy at GLIEMR are very practical and provide me an advantage
over general MBAs. The leadership team of IEMR is highly accomplished and their vision and efforts to
establish IEMR as one of the premier institutes in the Energy Sector is one of the prime reasons why I
chose IEMR over other institutes.”
