MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
Great Lakes is a pioneer in the field of management education. Our objective is to provide
the best education to suit the needs of the entire professional population in the country and
make it a value proposition. The school which originally began with one offering in 2004
has over the last decade grown to offer full-time, part-time as well as niche and distance
mode programs and has rightfully earned its pride of position among the top 10 b-schools
in the country.
The PGPM Flex program is also one such response to the need of the upwardly mobile
professional who wishes to study while working. Through classroom interactions with others
from heterogeneous backgrounds, coupled with a learning environment that is both state
of the art and ambient, world class teachers and mentors who are at the top of their game
as classroom instructors, the two year program is comparable to some of the best weekend
management programs in the country. Add to this the possibilities of ‘over-the-air’ lectures
where an equal amount of the course content and lecture sessions are available online to
help advance the flexible learning experience and you have an outstanding value proposition
awaiting you.
One of the basic lessons that I always teach my students is about the ‘Money Value of
Time’. In this day and age, so many things can be done at the same time thanks to the
advancement of technology and the availability of such versatile resources. No one has
to waste any more time than truly necessary. Thus, obtaining a management qualification
on the one hand while holding your regular job on the other is a very desirable and viable
alternative. The trick is to narrow down on an Institute that provides you the most promising
offering and value for your time spent. In that category, we sincerely believe that we do
justice – since our classroom experience and peer learning advantages remain unparalleled.
So, if this is what you are looking for – an opportunity to fast-track your career, secure a
qualification in management that is bound to open doors for you and give yourself a fantastic
educational experience in the process, the answer is simple. Join the Great Lakes fraternity.
Best wishes.

MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Dear Aspirant,
Great Lakes is in its 11th year of imparting cutting edge management education and is now
ranked amongst top 10 business schools in the country. Five years ago, to fill the void
of giving management education to working executives with an aspiration to grow, this
program was launched. Since then, it has been gaining momentum.
It is a program in line with our flagship one year full time Post Graduate Program in
Management (PGPM) on a flexible mode wherein participants - while being on their
job - attend classes on alternate weekends for two years. This program has introduced
cutting-edge courses like Business Analytics, Strategic Cost & Profitability Management
and Design Thinking & Innovation along with Business Strategy Simulation. In addition, it
offers various electives in three functional areas of specialization: Marketing, Finance and
Operations. Efforts are being made to introduce some on-line courses too in this program
along with regular classroom interactions. This program, like other programs of Great
Lakes, draws the best faculty resources available in India and Abroad.
Now, we are opening our admissions for Batch 6 (2015-17) and planning to commence
the session in August 2015. We welcome you all to Great Lakes to fulfil your dreams and
desires into reality.
Best wishes.
Dr. S. Elankumaran
Director – PGPM Flex

full-time PGPM program, PGPM Flex also emphasizes on skill development, teamwork, inclusivity principles and value-based management
along with a program-long schedule of group and executive coaching, 360-degree assessments and team activities, designed to unleash
the leadership potential in the participants and transform them into “Business Ready Managers”.

“Until PGPM Flex happened, I was purely an Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon specializing in facial deformities correction,
with not a clue on capital management and market analysis. The renowned faculty at Great Lakes combined with the
pedagogic learning has moulded me into a smarter professional with the ability to analyze business options and make
informed decisions on my entrepreneurial ventures, also enhancing my personal psychograph in the process.”
Dr. S. SathyabamaSurgeon and Proprietor (Varun Dental Centre)
PGPM Flex Class of 2012
“Joining PGPM Flex was one of the best decisions of my life. It helped me to peruse an excellent management education
along with my professional aspirations. The specialty of PGPM Flex is that it is very similar to the flagship one year
PGPM program with same faculty, curriculum and course credits…..Great Lakes…helped me to gain business acumen
and transform my professional journey from technolo gy to finance professional.”
Pradeep SomasundaramManager, Regulatory Finance, HSBC - PGPM Flex Class of 2013
“Having recently completed the PGPM Flex, I can say with immense pride and satisfaction that I have truly been enriched
with knowledge from the Programme. I must also mention that in terms of curriculum or in terms of the faculty
handling the courses, there has absolutely been no disparity between the full time and the weekend Programmes…
Finally, a healthy peer group from a wide gamut of industries with varying years of experience make this Programme
a truly must do for any working professional who aspires to get a meaningful MBA education. “
Siddharth RamanSenior Manager, Operations –South Zone
Godrej Properties Ltd. - PGPM FLEX Class of 2014
“PGPM Flex has truly been a turning point experience in my life. With the classes every alternate weekend, it has
provided the flexibility and yet has the rigor of a full time Programme. Taught by some of the best faculty from around
the world, the intricacies in business management couldn’t have been put any simpler. The pre-reads and case analysis
not only helped me view business situations from different perspective, but also pushed me to over-deliver due to
high expectations from the faculty. The resulting stress has only made me stronger and tougher to handle similar
such demands of the business environment. It has been an intense emotional journey, providing a perfect platform to
develop both intellectual and inter-relationship skills. One also gets an opportunity to meet exceptional people who
will stand by ones side throughout the challenges of the program.”
Narayanan VAssistant Sales Manager- Honeywell Automation India Ltd. - PGPM FLEX Class of 2015
“With its array of eminent and adept Professors from various fields, PGPM Flex offers what every aspiring candidate
would look for in a Management Program – a sound curriculum, flexible schedule and great networking. We not only
get to understand the underlying idea behind each concept but are also able to apply it in real-life scenarios depending
on the time and effort one invests on the learning. I personally see benefit in the class-takeaways, the diverse network
of people with whom I get to interact since these help me think beyond my horizon. The greatest benefit is the flexibility
it offers - one gets to continue building the career too because of its meaningfully spaced weekend schedule.”
Dharini Sridhar,SAP Basis Consultant, IBM India Pvt. Ltd. - PGPM FLEX Class of 2016
