IIM Indore seeks participants with high intellectual rigors and intent to learn to complete the program. Participants will benefit by attending all Sessions of a given course. They will be eligible for a participation certificate upon meeting the attendance criteria. Candidates will only qualify for successful completion upon fulfilling the attendance and course evaluation criteria.

Admission to this program involves a rigorous review of your resume and your statement of purpose by the IIM Indore Admissions team.

Only participants with demonstrated fast-track career progression and high learning intent required for CMO roles will be admitted into this program.

Selection is by invite only and on a rolling basis. Therefore, we generally overbook our batches. In case of overbooked batch size, applicants in earlier selection rounds who have received their provision offer letters and paid registration fees to block their seats will be preferred over applicants from later selection rounds.

A special discount offer exists only for a minimum of five nominations. A discount of up to 10% on the program fee may be offered for bulk nominations of 5 participants or more from a single Corporate. However, the discount's extent will be determined on a case-to-case basis.

Classes are conducted over a live online platform. Classes will be tentatively scheduled over weekends, either on a Saturday or Sunday, in two sequential sessions of 75 mins each with a 15 min break in between. The schedule is defined at the discretion of IIM Indore.

The program design is well balanced between the day-to-day commitments of the participants and what is expected of executives in a Strategic CMO role. The curriculum includes a good mix of case studies, projects, working sessions, Masterclasses, and Simulation exercises.

The inclusion of Wharton Interactive's Simulation and StartUp Simulation exercise will provide participants with much-needed hands-on experience with what it means to be a CMO.

Moreover, our series of masterclasses from marquee CMOs will help participants relate to the day-to-day functioning of the CMO office under different contexts through a different lens.

The Campus Immersion module will be conducted at the IIM Indore campus. Learners will get to network with CXOs and Industry Leaders from their cohort during their campus immersion.

The Immersion module is tentatively scheduled during the last leg of the program. Confirmation will be shared by the IIM Indore Academics team at the commencement of the cohort.
