IIM Lucknow

Where industry insight meets academic excellence!

IIM Lucknow Noida Campus recently hosted an engaging industry-academia case competition in collaboration with Pansari Group, bringing together the dynamic participants of the IPMX 19 cohort, the institute’s one-year full-time Executive MBA programme.

With 23 teams tackling real-world FMCG operational and supply chain challenges, participants showcased strategic thinking, analytical depth, and ex*****on-driven solutions across areas such as inventory management, demand forecasting, shelf-life optimization, and distributor network efficiency.

The top six teams presented their recommendations before an esteemed industry panel led by Mr. Shammi Agarwal, Managing Director, and other senior leadership of Pansari Group, alongside Prof. Satyabhusan Dash (Dean, IIM Lucknow Noida Campus), Prof. Kaushik Bhattacharya (Chairperson, Student Affairs, IIM Lucknow Noida Campus), and Prof. Arvind Shroff (Operations Management), IIM Lucknow.

The competition served as a powerful platform for experiential learning, reinforcing the importance of industry collaboration in shaping future-ready business leaders.

APHRM (Advanced Programme in Human Resource Management) is a flagship executive programme by Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, designed to shape future-ready HR leaders while fostering a strong, lifelong community.

What began as a casual catch-up with batchmates soon turned into an evening filled with memories, laughter, and reflection.
From revisiting classroom moments to sharing journeys beyond campus, every story felt both personal and collective.
Old bonds were rekindled, new ones were formed, and the spirit of APHRM came alive stronger than ever.

With nostalgia, music, and meaningful conversations, the evening truly captured what makes this network so special.
Not just where students studied—but where they belong.
