IFMR GSB has been nurturing marketing talent ever since its inception. It has deep-rooted connections with the industry and a long-standing association with industry stalwarts. The Marketing faculty team is a blend of professionals with rich industry experience and strong academic credentials. It is due to this, that the foundational courses of the first year are followed by an entire spectrum of marketing electives in the second year. As a testimony of this commitment to the Marketing Area, IFMR GSB has initiated an annual marketing conference, where leading CXOs and Heads of Marketing Division from the industry are invited to talk on important and critical issues, to provide vital guidance to the students who are specialising in Marketing.
