“I wanted better exposure to SCM and a deeper understanding of how to develop problem-solving solutions for organisations. The curriculum and the sessions gave a new perspective on how the solutions can be designed, an in-depth understanding of parameters, and a customer-centric focus. Thought-provoking analysis, risk assessment & analysis truly made a difference in my career. Jaro helped me connect with one of the best institutes in India and gave me direction to add value to my career. Moreover, the institute & the faculty members played a vital role overall. The approach of faculty is fabulous as they believe in continuous learning with real-life cases and ongoing concerns/issues being faced on day to day basis at work. The programme by the institute is designed in such a manner that every single session is interesting and thought-provoking.”

"Years of hard work in supply chain management brought me to a crossroads. I knew I needed more. The ASCM - IIMK programme was my gateway to realizing my dreams. The mentorship from the faculty and the cutting-edge curriculum transformed my perspective on supply chain dynamics. When I secured a Supply Chain Manager position at JSW Steel with a 44% salary increase, it felt like all my efforts had finally paid off. Jaro Education was my partner in this electrifying journey, and I’m forever grateful."
