They bring onboard proven leadership experience, consistent track records, enviable dedication and loyalty to their organisation.

Prof. Pradyumana Khokle Faculty Co-Chair AFP IIM-Ahmedabad 5 AFP-2016 Prof. Shailesh Gandhi Faculty Co-Chair AFP About AFP & Course Curriculum THE SOLDIER PERPETUAL Another day of mine begins, in rays lent by the Sun, A new challenge awaits - I arise to the mission. The weather is quite harsh and the terrain utterly mean, I plan for the predicted, provide for the unforeseen. I have ventured uncharted waters, crossed unforgiving straits, I relentlessly hone my skills and imbibe impeccable traits. My strategy prevails over odds, uncertainty it survives, I cannot afford to err, I am entrusted with lives! In the face of dreaded risks and dauntless under fire, I step to the forefront - I shall lead, I shall inspire. With my heart and soul ablaze, spirit flaring bright, I shall neither rest, nor seek respite. With renewed vigour I emerge, against all the wind’s might, I am poised to set sail, primed to take the flight!

I found them to be enthusiastic and quick learners. They quickly disproved a hypothesis I had at the beginning of the course that those with some years in the Armed Forces will be accustomed to following orders and will be weak on initiative. At the end of each session an assignment was declared and the participants had to make a presentation on that in the next session - the range of logical arguments offered by them on the path of Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, and Budgetary & Monetary Policy showed a deep interaction with foundational issues within a short span of time. These hardworking, sharp, flexible, and committed participants will be a valuable resource to the organization they work for.” Prof. Errol D’Souza Economics Area, I.I.M Ahmedabad IIM-Ahmedabad 10 AFP-2016 “Operations Planning and Execution has always been a forte of Officers of the Armed Forces. The adaptability of these Officers in handling the complex and challenging situations on and off the field makes them ideally suited for managing most of the business situations at ease. Their conventional strengths in managing teams, logical ability, and conclusive deductionshave been further honed with business acumen by the courses at IIMA. I am sure that these Officers would be appreciable assets for the organizations in the field of Operations, Logistics, Supply Chain Management and Project Management.” Prof. Chetan Soman Production & Quantitative Methods Area, I.I.M Ahmedabad “As a faculty for “Marketing” course for this batch, I facilitated the participants in learning basic principles of marketing. In the marketing course, the participants analysed more than 20 different marketing case studies that has helped in developing their marketing acumen, analytical capabilities and has exposed them to marketing issues in a variety of industry contexts. Based on my observation, I can vouch that a number of participants will excel at marketing roles in the companies. Given their background which inculcates hard work and discipline, the participants have gained adequate knowledge, skills and techniques across different areas of marketing and management in a quick time. They have also been able to develop their conceptual, analytical and execution skills in this domain. I am convinced that they have necessary abilities to deliver winning results as middle and senior level managers. I find this AFP group to be interactive and willing to engage and seek knowledge. I wish them all the best in their placement endeavours.” Prof. Sanjeev Tripathi Marketing Area, I.I.M Ahmedabad “Participants of IIMA’s Armed Forces Programme are disciplined, dedicated, goal driven, and team leaders. When laced with corporate management principles & tools and the knowledge of the market economy, they transform themselves into rightful aspirants for medium to top management positions in the corporate world. While teaching the course Economic Analysis and Policy, it had become abundantly clear to me that these men and women have the abilities, drive, and the passion to be successful corporate warriors. I wish them the very best.” Prof. Satish Y Deodhar Economics Area, I.I.M Ahmedabad IIM-Ahmedabad 11 AFP-2016 “The participants of AFP15 course were provided opportunities to take charge and lead complex organizations as a part of the module on Strategic Management. They took charge of diverse and complex situations ranging from managing entrepreneurial ventures to examining the implications of innovations in large, established multinational companies. Their active involvement in case comprehension, analysis and decision making in these situations has enabled them to comprehend the nuances of alternative approaches to formulation and implementation of strategies in changing contexts. They have become adept in sizing up strategic situations, identifying decision questions and developing complete, concrete and consistent solutions. This unique capability would enable them to contribute meaningfully and strengthen the performance of the organizations they would be a part of. It would also help them to promote entrepreneurial ventures independently and manage them successfully. I wish them all the best in their careers.” Prof. Mukund R.
