  I am ArunKumar, from Electronics and Communications Engineering background. I have overall ~13.5 years of experience. Initially I started my career with implementing physical layer algorithms for ADSL. Then I moved over to GSM/GPRS (2G) - worked in various R&D aspects – algorithm implementation, system engineering aspects like power management and customer support. Then I started working on LTE (4G) with focus areas being Measurements, TDD, Carrier Aggregation. I have experience on both the UE and eNodeB side. I have worked for Texas Instruments, Nokia, Renesas Mobile and Octasic. I am currently looking into Product Management for Octasic Technologies.

  I wanted to get exposure to Management education to further advance my career. I initially enrolled myself for a 1 year distance MBA. But found it difficult to make progress as it was entirely self study based and there was no scope for interaction with faculty. Then I came across Prudent Executive Management Institute, PEMI which was just like “what the doctor ordered” for me, with excellent faculty, and great interactive learning atmosphere, regular classes, with convenient timing enforcing me to make progress - all at an affordable price.

  The regular classes and the enthusiasm of the faculty enabled me to learn the fundamental subjects of management and enabled me to get a good exposure to business practises.

  All faculties are very involved. The amount of effort they take to customize the classes according to our needs is remarkable. They always answer your questions both during the classes and later as well. The amount of real world examples and insights they have provided is priceless .Service and Infrastructure are quiet adequate. The place is in a quiet corner, conducive for intellectual discussions.

  We, executives need a right company of friends who can make classroom experience positive and enjoyable and add value. It was a pleasure to enjoy the company of likeminded peers who always cooperated and enjoyed team work.

  Prof. Viswanath, Director, is the key figure behind this course. He has played a vital role in getting the senior faculties and also arranging special lectures from industry experts on various subjects. He understands each individual, his style of learning and what he/she misses and accordingly advices them. For the amount of value to be derived (fundamentals with relevant industry insights) the price, is a fraction of what other Management Institutes charge.

  EGMP has de-mystified the world of management to me. It has given me the confidence that with appropriate effort anyone can contribute to the managerial aspects of an organization. My eventual goal is to be an entrepreneur and this course has imbibed in me the fundamental tools that are necessary to be successful in that.

  I came here expecting to get “theoretical/text-book” level introduction on fundamental management subjects. I got that and much more – insights from industry veterans, challenges faced by actual entrepreneurs and above all confidence that I can also contribute managerially to an organization.

  My appeal to anyone, especially experienced professionals, considering a one year weekend Management programme – PEMI is right up there with the best. For those yet to consider EGMP, believe me it is really worth one’s time and money and you will be much more aware person enabling you to be far more impactful in your profession.

  My name is Jeyasekar. I have done my B.Tech Electronics Engineering from Anna University Chennai and then started my career as IT specialist. I have handled senior roles in IT and worked for prestigious organizations like Wipro, IBM etc .I Always had the feeling that I missed something which is a formal education like MBA for many years. Initially I explored contact, distant, web-based classes in Bangalore, found them too Academic. Then, I approached PEMI which attracted me because of their approach, the faculty, contact classes, not losing self-respect (Executive approach).After joining PEMI, took a deep breath for 52 Sundays to sustain and I am happy to have accomplished the task by the time of writing this.

  I would rather call EGMP from PEMI, a career investment for anyone's present situation as well as for future. I had the fortune to learn the art of Management from the practitioners, which is the USP of PEMI. Simple, sharing and caring ambience. Every faculty carry tremendous knowledge / research experience in their respective subjects. Faculties come from respective industries; few of them are book authors and are multi-talented. One can ask any question to them to get doubts resolved then and there itself. Icing on the cake is Guest sessions by industry experts, Entrepreneurs, CXO's. Arrangements (R.S.V.P) to important seminars and events in the city are made to connect students with the Industry. All classes are conducted with proper pre-defined schedule in boardroom style. Institute is located in prime area and is well connected to education hub. PEMI has very polite and helpful staff who understands the needs of working executives.

  Studying with right company of genuine knowledge seekers is essential for self development unlike routine college atmosphere. I found a great network of friends at PEMI whose company I cherish always.

  Professor GNV's tireless efforts bring the best and relevance out of the faculty and connect well with the executive students' expectations. The materials and content provided are matching with rest of premium institutes standards. The course has been researched well by professors and delivered well unlike regular institutes which is a plus point. At PEMI fee is very affordable. I don't even call this as fee when compared to other similar institutes. The objective is to make the course affordable and sustainable without frills claimed by other high- cost management institutes. The fee amount collected justifies value for money.

  After completing the course, I am highly confident and I feel that I am empowered. Promise vs. Delivery? – One can get more than promised if one can use the time well and get involved.

  It is very much doable course for senior executives in spite of time constraint because of the flexibility offered in time table. My expectations are met and I feel it has already added value for my career. I would certainly recommend this course to techies.

  My name is Kumar Nailkar. I graduated with BE (Electronics and Telecommunication) from Mumbai University in the year 2003. I am working in semiconductor industry as R&D and design engineer.

  I was looking for opportunity to pursue Executive MBA studies to add value to myself in this competitive world to grow in career and also start my own company in future. I wanted to have real time learning experience of learning Management subjects during EMBA and PEMI helped me with real time contact classes from industry experts and experienced professors. The moot question in front of me was,” What is the use of having certificate from a University for name sake, when one does not know anything about reality of Business?” This was well answered at PEMI.

  I feel joining PEMI is one of my good decisions in life. EGMP from PEMI has increased my confidence. The act of attending classes on Sundays for a year itself, demonstrates how committed the people who opt for EGMP are to learn and grow in their careers as well as the commitment and Quality of Faculty. Professors at PEMI are industry experts and are always ready to clear any doubts any time. Guest session from CEO's, Authors, and Directors of companies was a great experience at PEMI.

  All classes are conducted with proper pre-defined schedule in boardroom style. Locality is at prime place in Bangalore. Prof G N Viswanth knows every student’s needs very well and helps to develop their aptitude. He always encouraged us to reach for greater heights in life/career/thinking being a role model himself. Fee is very nominal for contact classes EMBA and for the kind of expert faculty and facilities offered. These days LKG/UKG fees are of similar level (no kidding).Having done EGMP, my confidence has increased, my perspective of Business has changed because of genuine knowledge gained. I feel more confident about my future.

  The main takeaway from PEMI apart from knowledge is the company of likeminded friends who are motivated, cooperative, positive thinking and adventurous. That makes lot of difference when compared other setups.

  My suggestion to prospective students is: Be clear about why are you doing EMBA? Is it for self development or just certification? What are your expectations? Access your strengths and weakness and available doable options before you and finally you are the best Judge for your decision!!

  The Best thing about Autonomous contact based one year program is that its content is up to date. It is different from University distance education course or E-Learning Programs where there is no personal touch and contents are updated after long periods.

  Opting Weekend contact based classroom training is very useful for executives who get back to academics after a long gap from studies. No one can learn effectively a practical subject like Management without attending classes and actively participating in live atmosphere. I wanted to acquire knowledge which is possible by classroom lectures by highly experienced Faculty. All the professors were able to explain the subject in the context of current business scenario. I feel this is very important because it helps us to connect with real life situations.

  In one word I would say I was upgraded by attending Executive Management course. Executive Management Program made me capable to understand how a complex business works. It builds capacity to become an Entrepreneur. Now I am more confident and can manage bigger tasks in professional life. I think it is a blessing in anyone's life.

  Prof G.N Vishwanath has always been with the students, trying to understand their issues and suggestions. He is always ready to help Students who are keen in acquiring knowledge. Prof Viswanath has guided us through difficult subjects and has described the best way to soak in knowledge like a sponge. He has always helped us to stay focussed on our Goal. He has truly demonstrated that it is not enough to get good grades but acquired knowledge must be applied in real life.

  Executive Management Programmes are designed for working professionals, who are already in the industry and have faced the complexities of the business. What professionals look for is a solution crafted to the market needs. An autonomous Institution can certainly address the current demands of the industry. The weekend contact classes are certainly a boon for the working professionals. It improves the learning process and helps to grasp the complexities of business through discussions.

  My observation is that we are successful in our domain & enjoy what we do now. But when we start analyzing what is in store for us in next 5-10 years in our career we tend to go blank. I started asking myself- Am I ready to take up a larger role in the industry? Am I catching up with the ever demanding needs of the industry? Thanks to Prof. G N Viswanath. I could find a solution to my problems by joining an Executive Management course. It provided me a road map for my career planning & goal setting.

  I owe my sincere regards to Prof GN Viswanath. He had been insisting me to take up the course ever since I started interacting with him. Initially I was quite busy with my office schedule and could not find time on Saturdays. I joined the course 2 years later after organizing my schedule on the weekends. Today I express my sincere gratitude to this visionary. This course has changed my outlook. Today I can confidently define myself, list out the area of improvements and plan my career goals more effectively.

  Prof. G N Viswanath is a committed individual, and a very good 'Sales' person. I know he may not like to be called one, but this is a true compliment, especially since it is coming from another 'Sales' person. Having a core competency in Sales, I could see how effectively he followed a process of addressing my concerns (as a prospective student) and then actually getting me excited to attend the classes. The best part is that he lived up to his promises and I am so glad I signed in.
