AMBA said, "The prestigious award is a celebration of innovation and radical thinking in MBA delivery across all areas of the Business School and has been developed to recognise and reward brilliant new practices. It promotes the value of risk-taking in pursuit of the new."
SPJIMR's PGMPW Chairperson and Professor of Marketing Dr. Ashita Aggarwal was at the ceremony to receive the award. Dr. Aggarwal later said, "SPJIMR positions itself as an institute that is known for two key attributes - courage and heart. Both of these words are at the heart of the PGMPW, and its unique positioning and purpose. The programme stands testimony to the fact that business decisions can be very courageous and can be taken from the heart. It takes a lot of perseverance for our participants to do a one-year, rigorous, fully-residential programme, leaving their kids and families back home."
SPJIMR Dean Dr. Ranjan Banerjee said, "The PGMPW is the beginning of a larger effort to support the cause of bringing talented women back to the workforce. While we are pleased to receive early global recognition, this is a long and difficult journey, and we have only just begun."
Andrew Main Wilson, CEO of AMBA, said: "On behalf of the AMBA and Business Graduates Association (BGA) team, I would like to congratulate the Finalists and Winners of this year's AMBA Excellence Awards."
