The global business economy is no longer confined to the output of the industrial compound. Manufacturing and heavy industry is giving way to a new, gleaming economy propelled by intangible services and interactions. In fact, emerging nations like India are fueling their rapid growth almost exclusively through the services sector.

With such changing landscapes in the business world, it is unfortunate that the academic world has failed to match pace. While there are plenty of programs in product, price, and promotion management in our business schools in India, there is almost no academic attention devoted to customer experience management and customer lifetime value maximization.

The Institute of Customer Experience Management (ICEM), the flagship institute of Aegis Global Academy, is the first-of-its-kind to offer an MBA equivalent program focused solely on customer experience management and customer-centricity.

Aimed at creating professionals for the Services Sector, ICEM offers a unique curriculum to equip students with a “superior service experience” mindset and a managerial ambition to drive the ethos of the service industry in a positive and upward direction.

Offering a variety of specializations according to service industry verticals, our students are immersed in rigorous theories of general management as well practical situations demanding the application of customer management skills, measurement of customer experience, and lifetime value maximization.

In a nutshell, ICEM is an institution created by the services sector, for the services sector, to produce professionals most suited for the booming services sector.

The curriculum of ICEM will be heavily oriented towards practical experience through live customer contact management and internships.

Throughout the 15-month Post Graduate Program in Business Management (PGPBM) in Service Sector Industries, students will be exposed to Principles of General Management and gain a theoretical grounding:

• Customer management skills
• Creation, delivery, and measurement of customer experience
• Concept of customer lifetime value management
