Founded by the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group (a leading business conglomerate in India), International Management Institute-Kolkata (IMI-Kolkata) has launched a Post Graduate Certificate in Family Business Management (PGCFBM) programme. It is aimed to train the new generation of entrepreneurs to take their family business to the next level.
The PGCFBM programme will begin from November, 2021 and will be spread across six modules over a course of 11 months. Each module will take place for a week, separated by a gap of 6 weeks during which the participants can apply the theory learnt to their businesses. As India is a strong emerging economy, here a majority of the businesses are family-owned and more than 70% of such businesses are in 2nd or 3rd generations of leadership. This demands family businesses to upgrade their capabilities for optimum utilization of resources in order to sustain and grow in this changing environment. IMI Kolkata has formed this certificate program to keep the tradition alive wherein the current crop of family owners can be trained to professionally run their businesses. Participants of the PGCFBM programme will get mentored by the senior business leaders of RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group.
