IEMR nurtures talent for sustainable development

Institute of Energy Management and Research (IEMR), launches its Institute in Gurgaon set up by professionals. IEMR has been created to meet the growing shortage of skilled and knowledgeable managers in the rapidly-evolving energy sector.

To sustain its GDP growth rate at over 9%, India needs to add more power generation capacity in the next 10 years than it did in the past 60 years.

Over USD 300 billion of investment is planned in the power sector over the next 5 years, which has become a preferred sector for investors. According to the Planning Commission there is an additional need for around 5 lakh skilled professionals by 2017 in the power sector alone.

John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, one of the world's most renowned and successful venture capitalists "The Internet is a trillion-dollar economy and energy is a 6-trillion dollar economy – it could be the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century."

Dr. B.S.K. Naidu, Chairman, IEMR commented, "IEMR has been set up with the vision to be the leading management institute focused on the energy sector in Asia".

IEMR offers a 2-year post graduate program in management and a 1-year executive post graduate program in management wherein the curriculum is a unique combination of general management education and energy-sector focused managerial knowledge.
