The total fee for the programme is Rs 2,37,500, with an addition of GST. There will be 10 modules which will be held through live online sessions. Upon successful completion of the programme, each student will receive a valid certificate and an IIM Kozhikode Executive Alumni status, an official press release said.

The diverse curriculum will cover corporate strategy, risk management, M&A, and digital business models. Participants also gain access to IIM Kozhikode’s executive alumni network, with opportunities for expanding their professional circle.
