Class of 2022-23
Setting out on the PGP-DM program at ISDM has been a significant travel, improving me with important information and aptitudes fundamental to the development sector. Over its eight terms, I've dug profoundly into zones such as financial thinking, mediation plan, and innovation for social effect, cultivating an all-encompassing understanding of driving alter.
ISDM ticked all the boxes that I was looking for - experiential learning, learning from the best people in the field, bringing a management lens and a curriculum that focuses on not just the learnings of the field but also individual growth and reflection.
