Global Governance Initiative

What if you could get hired by management consulting, product management, and public policy employers? Or what if you get to learn Harvard-style cases from Rajat Gupta (First Non-American Indian, Global CEO McKinsey & Company), Peter Fisher (Former Asia Chairman, Blackrock), and Arun Maira (Former Boston Consulting Group (BCG) India Chairman) and get to be forge bonds with the most diverse, kind, and purposeful community at only 1% of the cost of Top MBA program. Sounds too good to be true? We are a social impact organization with a mission to provide quality Business and Policy Education for an Inclusive World. Many of our fellows and Scholars join GGI for a period of 6 months - that means our goal is to ensure that those 6 months are the best days of their lives! They learn, they #fail, they make a lifelong #support network, and most importantly they are kind to each other - as they grow both personally and professionally. Important Disclaimer 1- Do we confer degrees at GGI?  We will never confer degrees at GGI. It is a conscious stand we have taken. Conferring degrees will also make it difficult for us to keep innovating curriculum, learning outcomes, and products with changing market dynamics. This nimbleness allows us to keep our costs down, allowing us to provide an Alt and Pre MBA at 1% of the cost, making quality business education truly accessible! Disclaimer 2- What are our employment partners and salaries offered? The highest package from GGI was 29 Lakh by two employers (by an investment firm and leading startup) and the average currently hovers around 17 Lakh. Few people find this too good to be true, especially people who are still stuck on the "campus" mindset. And we understand that. But this is when we truly feel we are winning the battle. Employers now trust our program curriculum with CXOs coming to teach and appreciate that good talent doesn't just come out of accredited degrees and campuses! Having said this, we don’t promote placement culture - it intermingles with learning, and ruins the beauty of education centered around curiosity. The important point however is that we don’t want GGI to be associated with these ‘packages’. GGIians support each other, stay curious, research, work hard, and some of them go beyond GGI to upskill themselves. And it is because of their effort - employers at GGI are investing in them. Our office of career service (OCS) works day in and day out in making sure that GGIians outperform every day, and they get served opportunities that they deserve! GGI is a long-term mission for us for the coming 10 years and beyond. And we are thankful to all the +5500 Scholars, Fellows, 29+ Employment Partners, 97+ Masterclass Speakers, Advisors, and well-wishers for their trust and support. Look forward to working with you all as we grow❤️! Meet us here-https://lnkd.in/f_cnFXF
