I take pleasure in welcoming you to IIM Nagpur (IIMN). IIMN was established in
2015 as the first of the third generation IIMs, by the Ministry of Education, Govt. of
India. Its location in Nagpur, the Orange City, makes IIMN equidistant from the
major metropolises – Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, and Mumbai – in terms of travel
time by air. Since its inception, IIMN has attracted talented faculty members with
commendable experience in research and teaching.

Faculty members at IIMN are engaged in management consultancy, research,

training, and industry collaboration for creating and disseminating cutting-edge
knowledge. Its location at the very centre of industrial activity offers IIMN a
natural advantage, enabling greater connections and partnerships with
businesses across sectors in SEZ and MIDC-designated zones. IIMN’s unwavering
focus on pioneering exceptional industry partnerships to lead the way in
providing real-world experiences, prepares our programme participants for life —
bringing ‘corporate into classrooms’ to hone relevantly skilled talent for the
ever-evolving corporate world. One of the first premier institutions in the country
to seamlessly make the shift from physical to online over the past year, IIMN is
well-equipped to conduct Executive Education Programmes (EEPs) for executives
from public and private sector undertakings. Keeping the New Education Policy
(NEP) 2020, digitalisation, and lifelong learning in mind, IIMN has launched online
certificate programmes for skilling-reskilling-upskilling the executives in highly
specialised areas of management. We anticipate that these programmes would
enable executives to fully realise the opportunities ahead in a digitally disruptive
world. With its unique advantages, IIMN is an exciting place to learn, grow, and be
the ‘champions of change’. We welcome you to join our IIMN community of

The Demand for Project
Management Professionals
A project is a time-bound and unique endeavour undertaken to produce a
product, service, or result defined by specific goals and objectives to bring about
beneficial change or add value.

Project Management is the process of planning and executing efforts to achieve

all project goals within given primary constraints of scope, time, and resources.

According to the Project Management Job Growth and Talent Gap Report –
2017-2027 by PMI, the global economy has become more project-oriented as the
practice of project management expands across industries. Opportunities also
arise as organisations increasingly rely on technologies and the projects needed
to support them. Across the globe, there’s a widening gap between employers’
need for skilled project management workers and the availability of professionals
to fill those roles. A PMI-commissioned talent gap analysis by Anderson Economic
Group (AEG) points to outstanding opportunities in jobs and career growth for
project managers globally.

Demand is high for practitioners with the necessary mix of competencies — a

combination of technical and leadership skills, plus strategic and business management.
Being abreast of contemporary knowledge and global best practices in Project
Management is critical for career growth and success.
 Project Management Scope in India

The world, and India in particular, is undergoing tremendous changes, and it is an

era of innovation. The Indian government has planned and announced major
policy initiatives such as ‘Make in India’, ‘SMART Cities’, ‘Stand-Up India’, ‘Digital
India’, and mega infrastructure development projects like ports, railways, airports,
highways, etc. As technology is evolving and Industry 4.0 evolves and expands,
new-age business models and rising consumer expectations are fuelling a
tremendous demand for skilled and certified project management professionals
across all industry verticals. Thus, project management is also of significant
importance to nation-building.

The Economic Times has cited a report by PMI saying that India is the
fastest-growing market for Project Management-oriented employment. As per the
report, by 2027, India will have the second-largest number of project
management-oriented jobs in the world only behind China.

The trend is clear, and it is a clarion call for working professionals who are currently in
project management roles, or others wishing to transition into such roles, to upgrade and
upskill themselves with knowledge and skills benchmarked to global standards, in this
critical and growing field.
 Programme Overview
