Executive Programme in Generative and Agentic AI for Business Applications, Batch 01
Associate for Technical Team (Emeritus)
Programme Overview
Generative and Agentic AI are accelerating across global industries, with 71% of Organisations worldwide are now using GenAI in at least one business function, and India is leading adoption, where 77% of knowledge workers use GenAI daily.
At the same time, India faces a severe talent bottleneck—there is only one qualified GenAI professional for every ten open roles, according to a report by The Economist Times. This sharp rise in enterprise demand, combined with a widening skills gap, makes applied GenAI expertise one of the most lucrative and future-secure career paths today.
To help leaders step confidently into this opportunity, IIM Indore has introduced the Executive Program in Generative and Agentic AI for Business Applications—a 24- week, no-code programme that enables professionals from technical or non-technical backgrounds to design and deploy end-to-end AI workflows. Through real business use cases, agentic automation, productivity-boosting workflows, and an ROI-driven capstone, participants learn how to apply GenAI to content, analysis, reporting, customer operations, and decision-support. With a business-first curriculum, industry masterclasses, and an enterprise-ready capstone, this programme equips learners with practical skills aligned for an AI-ready career.
