The FPM at Great Lakes Chennai is helmed by Prof. Vidya Mahambare, Union Bank Chair Professor of Economics and Director- Research at Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai.

The FPM course is organized into two phases. In Phase 1, spanning Years 1 & 2, students engage in an immersive curriculum covering various management domains, culminating in the creation and presentation of two research papers, each subject to evaluation by the entire faculty. This phase is instrumental in laying the groundwork for a robust research portfolio. Phase 2, spanning Years 3-5, follows the successful defense of the second-year paper, wherein students embark on their doctoral dissertation journey. They work closely with faculty advisors and a dedicated committee to refine their research topic, craft a formal proposal, and ultimately defend their dissertation, culminating in the award of the FPM degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
