ONE-YEAR POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME FOR EXPERIENCED
PROFESSIONALS (PGPXP)
From managers to change makers
WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING OUT FOR?
Welcome to the Woxsen School of Business.
Our Post Graduate Programme for Experienced Professionals
(PGPXP) is designed to nurture the innovative and entrepreneurial
spirit among aspiring professionals in order to meet the changing
expectations from the employers.
Today, the national boundaries are disappearing and businesses
are expanding on a global scale. In this context, the employers are
looking for professionals with entrepreneurial zeal who can adapt
to changing scenarios at an international level and be at home in
different cultures. The need today is for those who not only can
manage change but also be the change itself within, as well as
outside the organization.
At Woxsen, we aim to achieve this by nurturing the entrepreneurial
spirit. So, when you step into Woxsen, you come with the attitude
of being the change agent and when you step out you will have
acquired the confidence and skills that are required to become the
global leader that you aspire to be.
This is the impact we aim to achieve. We believe you have the
power not just to change your life, but of those around you.

Dean - Woxsen School of Business

The world doesn’t just need people with great ideas but also
people who have the spirit to put the best ideas into action.
At Woxsen, we understand the growing need of the corporate
world. We also understand that to be successful in this dynamic
scenario, one must go beyond being a manager and become a
changemaker.
The Woxsen School of Business has been established to take
up this challenge, creating an ecosystem where such spirited
individuals are nurtured.
A strong focus on practice, experience and hands-on learning
has led us to integrate the best facets of learning – an
entrepreneurship based curriculum, a body of resident and
visiting faculty who are entrepreneurs first and professors next.
Woxsen’s infrastructure and resources nurture innovation and its
vast network of business leaders and investors mentor students
through their journey.
Located in an impressive campus, the Woxsen School of Business
offers programmes focused entirely on developing entrepreneurial
thinking and action. Apart from the flagship Post Graduate
Programme for Experienced Professionals, Woxsen will focus
on pioneering research and learning interventions on Social
Entrepreneurship and Public Policy.

More than the knowledge gained, it is the application of it that
matters most. Which is why, the Woxsen PGPXP exposes you to
several experiential modules during the course of your study.
These programmes, combined with guidance from mentors and
investors will help you apply classroom learning in real-world
scenarios and gain hands-on experience. Experiential programmes
apart, at Woxsen you will have access to unique resources like the
Woxsen Trade Tower where you will get an opportunity to apply
the various stages of setting up a venture - from planning and
design to prototyping and funding.
“The ecosystem in India is certainly evolving and start-up culture is strengthening. I am very excited to be part of this fast evolving environment.”- Sri Peddu, Managing Director, Powerhouse Ventures
The Woxsen Trade Tower is a unique concept that provides
hands-on resources for you to plan, develop, seek support
and launch your ideas into viable ventures. It integrates
resources for design and collaboration and mentorship from
faculty and industry experts. The Trade Tower also allows
you to interact with potential investors. Those ideas which

“The goal must be to expand ourselves beyond one field of focus to solve the very real challenges we
face as a global society.”- Naveen Jain, Founder & CEO, Inome;
Member, Business Advisory Council, Woxsen School of Business
The mandatory Global Immersion Programme (GIP) at Woxsen
gives you the opportunity to travel to major business centers
around the world to better understand global best practices.
During these immersion studies, you will team up with your
classmates, professors and influential business leaders to engage
in collaborative learning experiences, gain an international
perspective, and interact with local industry leaders while sampling
the local culture.
Woxsen PGPXP is the only 1 year programme in India that gives
you an opportunity to opt for an internship at prestigious firms.
Many students seek management programmes as a way to
explore career or even sector change. An internship gives you an
opportunity to ‘test drive’ new paths, accumulate industry-specific
skills, and more importantly, gain a ‘real-world’ perspective on how
different industries function so you can make a smooth transition
to the sector of your choice.
