Mr. Abhishek Anand, WMG-15 (2006-2009)

Human Resources, Aon Hewitt

Before opting for the Part Time program with FORE my objective was to

ensure that my time gets best utilized through learning and I get the best

Return on Investment post the program. Part Time program of FORE is based

on experiential learning and it is absolutely exceptional. I can correlate my

classroom learning with day to day corporate strategy at my work place only

because brainstorming sessions, case studies, live corporate examples etc.

were also included in to the course curriculum. Today I am growing professionally not only in my

domain but also helping my organization in cross functional areas that also comes easily to me

because of the learning and guidance received from FORE School.

Mr. Chetan Nair, WMG-15 (2006-09)

Manager – Customer Experience, CPP Group Plc

My education at FORE School of Management has had an immediate impact

on my career. The executive format has enabled me to convert classroom

theory into workplace practice and I am now adding value in areas where I had

previously just been a participant. One of the biggest takeaways from the

PGDM program is learning to effectively deal with ambiguity and uncertainty.

While it’s not listed in the syllabus, this ability is developed and emphasized

throughout the program.

Ankush Bakshi, WMG- 14 (2005-08)

Sr. Service Delivery Leader (PMP®, CSSBB, MBB

Service Engineering & Transformation, World Service

The WMG Program at FORE is one that I am really proud to have attended. I

think it really added a lot of value. Honestly, when I initially applied for the

program I was very skeptical about the course content and execution/coverage

being provided in comparison to a Full Time postgraduate program. However,

the rigour of the module, the course content and moreover coverage of the

curriculum made me change my perception. What makes the program stand out is the coverage

of the curriculum by an excellent mix of experienced industry professionals and professors from

the Full Time program. The WMG Program is a demanding program and individuals attending the

program should be prepared to give it their very best to get the best outcomes.

Ashima Manchanda, WMG-18 (2009-2012)

Assistant Marketing Communications Manager

Hilton Garden Inn

The three year part time programme at FORE School of Management allowed

me to work and study simultaneously and it gave me the extra edge as I could

apply my practical knowledge of work in the classroom teaching. To me

discipline and meeting deadlines are very important at work and FORE

emphasizes a lot on these aspects. It helps me now in more ways than I could

think at that time. The executive program at FORE is structured “very well”. It gives a lot of

emphasis on practical learning because they know that we are working professionals and the

requirements are very different from freshers. FORE itself is a brand & everyone wants to get

associated with it. Telling others that “I have done my MBA from FORE” gives me a lot of pride.
