IIM Mumbai Partners with Masai to Launch Outcome-Oriented Management Programs for Working Professionals
Apr 21: Masai, India’s fastest-growing outcome-driven educational platform, is expanding its higher education portfolio with the launch of new programmes for working professionals in partnership with IIM Mumbai. The move brings Masai’s outcomes-led approach into formal management education, combining it with the academic rigour of one of India’s leading institutions.
For many professionals, access to quality management education remains constrained by cost, format, and limited flexibility. Through this collaboration, Masai seeks to address that gap by introducing programmes that are both accessible and closely aligned with industry requirements.
Spanning management, wealth management, and the performing arts, the programmes will be delivered through weekend, on-campus sessions, allowing participants to continue working while they study. Graduates will receive IIM Mumbai alumni status along with certification. The programmes include:
Postgraduate Programme in Management (MBA-PGPM)
A two-year programme for professionals aiming to move into senior management roles. Delivered in a weekend format, it covers core business functions including finance, marketing, operations, and strategy, with a focus on applied learning. Open to candidates with at least two years of work experience, the programme is priced at INR 18,00,000.
Executive MBA in Wealth Management
A one-year programme focused on wealth management, investment strategy, and financial planning. The curriculum combines conceptual grounding with practical exposure to market analysis and portfolio management. Open to graduates with a minimum of two years’ experience, the programme is priced at INR 15,00,000.
Postgraduate Executive Programme in Creative Leadership – Artpreneur (PGPCL-A)
Developed in collaboration with KKala, this one-year weekend programme is designed for performing artists looking to build sustainable, independent careers. It integrates business fundamentals with creative practice, with a focus on entrepreneurship, personal branding, and project development. Open to graduates with at least 50 percent marks or equivalent.
Commenting on the collaboration and the introduction of the management programmes, Prateek Shukla, Co-Founder & CEO, Masai said,
“At Masai, everything we build is built around outcomes. We are pleased to partner with IIM Mumbai, a renowned institution recognised for its quality education and positive impact on alumni’s careers. This collaboration with them allows us to offer something genuinely rare: the academic credibility of one of India’s top institutions, combined with a curriculum designed around the realities of today’s workplace. Our goal is simple: to help people move into roles they aspire to, with the skills and recognition that make it happen.”
Adding to this, Prof. Manoj Tiwari, Director, IIM Mumbai said,
“IIM Mumbai has always stood for its rigour and relevance. We are happy to partner with Masai, and this collaboration extends both IIM Mumbai and Masai’s commitment to outcome-driven education to a set of professionals ready to grow. More than being about learning management theory, these programmes are about equipping candidates to lead, decide, and deliver in complex business environments.”
The initiative marks a broader effort by Masai to build accessible pathways into leadership roles, as it continues to expand its presence in outcome-driven higher education.
