The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Mumbai, a premier management institute ranked 6th in NIRF, has launched the Post Graduate Diploma in Public Policy Management (PGDPPM) in collaboration with TalentSprint, part of Accenture, a leading global education company powered by AI. This 45-credit, one-year diploma combines IIM Mumbai’s academic excellence and world-class faculty with the latest digital learning innovations to deliver a future-ready programme designed for mid-career professionals. The curriculum blends academic rigour, practical exposure, and global best practices to develop leaders in public policy and governance. In today’s dynamic world, sustainable growth and social well-being hinge on effective public policy. As digital transformation, environmental challenges, and regulatory shifts accelerate, there is a growing need for professionals who can design credible, inclusive, and forward-looking policy frameworks. To address this, IIM Mumbai has developed a comprehensive programme focused on policy formulation, implementation, and leadership. With its strong emphasis on sustainability, technology, and responsible management, the PGDPPM offers a robust platform for professionals seeking to drive meaningful change in society. Commenting on the launch, Spokesperson of IIM Mumbai said, “The PG Diploma in Public Policy Management equips professionals to tackle modern policy challenges with confidence. Through simulations, projects, and peer learning, participants build skills in leadership, crisis management, and innovation—preparing them for senior roles across government, business, and the social sector.” The one-year blended programme features live online sessions led by IIM Mumbai faculty, case studies, policy simulations, and a capstone project. Sessions by former IAS officers and policy practitioners offer real-world insights into pressing issues across sustainability, digital transformation, and public health. With elective specializations and 20 days of immersive on-campus learning at IIM Mumbai, participants bridge theory and practice through interactive, face-to-face sessions. Upon successful completion, participants will earn academic credits, an industry-recognized Post Graduate Diploma, and gain IIM Mumbai alumni status.
