Sponsored by employer
Self Funded

Based on our experience of enabling 3000+ professionals who have participated in our executive programs, self-funding is the most preferred option, with over 80% choosing this. Three key reasons why professionals opt for it:

  • Freedom: To opt for a programme of their choice, at a time of their choice, with an institution of their choice and not be restrained by the organization’s policy.
  • Flexibility: To pursue greater career opportunities beyond their current employer or nurture their entrepreneurial ambitions.
  • Funding: Access to flexible EMI schemes (paying as low as ₹8,473/Month).

We have also observed that the commitment levels were higher among self-funding participants.
