Our course is designed to be accessible, convenient, and above all, responsive to the needs of the participants."

Raghav Gupta, managing director, India and APAC, Coursera said, “We are thrilled to partner with S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) to launch their flagship PGDM program on Coursera. With its innovative, contemporary, and practical approach to management education, this degree will empower learners with the cross-functional expertise and fundamental management skills needed to succeed in today's dynamic business environment.”
