Industry Consulting Module (ICM) The Industry Consulting Module for EPGP students aims to understand various industry/business establishment functions with first-hand experience working on real organizational issues and challenges. Students are formed into heterogeneous groups of 4 to 5 members. They undergo initial briefing sessions on the importance of contextualizing their learning, creating an organizational profile, and designing and carrying out a project. They are expected to visit the organization as and when required to understand and deliver the project. Since this project is part of their core course terms (first three terms), they are also encouraged to use electronic modes of communication such as phone/ email/ skype, etc., wherever possible. Each student group is assigned a faculty mentor who along with the industry mentor will guide the student group to work on their projects. Many of these students have had prior rich experience in diverse organizations. These students, ably guided by their faculty mentors, will thus bring in an outsider’s perspective to address an organizational challenge. The Student Industry Consulting Module acts as a bridge between Industry and Academia and is therefore a mutually beneficial activity at IIM Indore. This year, various companies, ranging from manufacturing to service sector, participated and were offered a total of 10 projects in areas of Economics, IT, Marketing, Humanities and Social Services, OB & HR and Operations Management to 38 students of the EPGP batch 2023-2024 at IIM Indore.
