It allows a smooth transition and re-orientation for the Officers towards their life and career as Business Managers and Entrepreneurs. The Program provides an insight of how their inherent capabilities, by virtue of having served as Officers of the Armed Forces, would apply to the organisation where they would serve , thereby facilitating them to sharpen their managerial skills and commensurate them with the challenges and demands of the Corporate arena. The course comprises of Officers from the three services i.e. The Army, The Navy & The Air force, who come from distinctive educational backgrounds comprising Engineering, Medicine, Management, Commerce, Architecture, basic sciences and arts coupled with the vast and rich experience, ranging from 6 to 34 years.
