Amritsar: The Indian Institute of Management Amritsar has announced the commencement of admissions for the sixth cohort of its flagship two-year Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) programme, designed for experienced professionals seeking to accelerate their leadership trajectory in an increasingly complex global business environment.
The programme distinguishes itself through an embedded international immersion in Denmark, developed in collaboration with the Danish Consortium for Academic Craftsmanship. This three-day executive module provides participants with a rare opportunity to engage with Scandinavian approaches to sustainability, innovation and governance, translating global best practices into actionable insights for contemporary leadership.
The sixth cohort was formally announced at an event by Prof. Samir K. Srivastava, Director, IIM Amritsar, in the presence of Prof. Vartika Dutta, Chairperson - Executive MBA, alongside senior faculty and institutional leaders. The announcement highlighted the institute’s continued commitment to equipping professionals with the capabilities required to navigate structural shifts, technological disruption and evolving global dynamics.
Elaborating on the programme’s vision, Prof. Samir K. Srivastava, Director, IIM Amritsar said, “At IIM Amritsar, we view executive education as a transformative journey that extends well beyond the acquisition of managerial knowledge. The Executive MBA is designed to cultivate globally aware, ethically grounded leaders who can interpret complexity and act with clarity. By integrating international immersion, applied learning and rigorous academic inquiry, we continue to advance our commitment to excellence and future-ready leadership.”
The programme follows a blended learning format, combining interactive online sessions with three on-campus immersive modules in Amritsar and an international experience in Denmark. The Denmark immersion, delivered through a structured executive bootcamp, places participants within a distinct business ecosystem, offering direct exposure to models of sustainable growth, innovation-led enterprises and collaborative governance frameworks.
Participants benefit from over 750 hours of engagement through live virtual instruction and in-person learning. The programme attracts a diverse cohort of professionals, ranging from mid-career managers to senior leaders and entrepreneurs, with experience spanning three to over fifteen years across industries such as information technology, consulting, banking and financial services, energy, manufacturing and the public sector.
Designed to support career advancement and leadership development, the curriculum is delivered across six terms. It progresses from foundational areas covering people, markets and analytics to advanced themes in strategy, transformation and leadership. Participants may further specialise through electives in Marketing and Communications, Finance, Accounting and Control, Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources, Quantitative Methods and Operations Management, Strategic Management and Economics and IT and Computational Systems.
The on-campus immersions at Amritsar provide an enriched learning environment through experiential workshops, industry interactions, fireside conversations with senior leaders and curated engagements that deepen peer learning. The Denmark immersion complements this journey through modules focused on Values and Innovation, Insights and Innovation and Modelling and Pitching, enabling participants to contextualise global frameworks within their professional domains.
The programme is delivered via TimesPro’s Interactive Learning platform and adopts a dynamic pedagogy that blends academic rigour with real-world application. Assessment is conducted through a combination of assignments, examinations, Integrated Field Projects and advanced strategic simulations.
