We particularly look forward to their Annual Conferences where we get opportunities to showcase PSGIM’s contribution to management education and also to network and learn from our peers.

Such events help us innovate, create higher value propositions for management education and indeed reinvigorate our societal engagement and the fact that management has a sterling role to play in society and the challenges we face.

This year’s conference is special. We are celebrating India’s 75th anniversary of Independence. Serving society is the cornerstone of PSG & Sons’ Charities and an enshrined mission pillar at PSG Institute of Management. It is an natural extension of learning, teaching and service for us using the CSG Matrix we follow: The Caring, Sharing, Giving principles. We look forward to more initiatives in the coming months. A week is not enough”
