Executive Programme in Business Finance

The Executive Programme in Business Finance from India’s premier business school, IIM Ahmedabad, is tailored for mid-level and senior executives who possess minimal exposure to the finance realm but are poised to take on Profit and Loss responsibilities in the near future.
