The 5Ps of sustainable development are a set of principles that emphasize various aspects
of sustainable development. These principles are often used as a framework to guide
policies, strategies, and actions that aim to balance economic, social, and environmental
considerations for the long-term well-being of society and the planet. The 5Ps are as follows:

People
Sustainable development puts people at the center of its focus. It aims to improve
the quality of life and well-being for all individuals, ensuring that basic needs are
met and that everyone has access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for
personal and economic growth.

Planet
This principle recognizes the importance of preserving and protecting the natural
environment and biodiversity. It involves responsible resource management,
reducing pollution and waste, and mitigating the impact of human activities on the
Earth & ecosystems.

Prosperity
Sustainable development seeks to promote economic prosperity and inclusive
growth while taking into account the environmental and social dimensions. It
involves fostering economic systems that create opportunities for all, reduce
poverty, and promote sustainable consumption and production patterns.

Peace
Peace is an essential foundation for sustainable development. This principle
emphasizes the need for social harmony, inclusivity, and cooperation among
nations and communities. By addressing the root causes of conflicts and promoting
stability, sustainable development can thrive.

Partnership
Sustainable development seeks to promote economic prosperity and inclusive
growth while taking into account the environmental and social dimensions. It
involves fostering economic systems that create opportunities for all, reduce
poverty, and promote sustainable consumption and production patterns.

By integrating these 5Ps into policies and practices, societies can strive towards a more sustainable
and equitable future, addressing the challenges posed by climate change, environmental
degradation, poverty, and social inequality. It is essential to find a balance between economic
growth, social progress, and environmental protection to ensure the well-being of current and
future generations.

Having spent the past five years working in the IT industry, I felt the time was ripe to take the next step in my

CAREER
career. Pursuing an MBA had always been a long-standing aspiration of mine, and being granted admission into the
program felt like the icing on the cake. With my prior experience, I gained a wealth of knowledge and skills in various
aspects of the tech world. The MBA program allowed me to sharpen my business acumen, paving the way for my
long-term goal of becoming a business leader.
This one-year program has indeed been transformative, resulting in my holistic development. The thought-provoking
class discussions with both my professors and peers and the various assignments that revolved around implementing
the critical concepts taught in class expanded my understanding of the strategic aspects of businesses. Additionally,
interacting with my peers and learning about their backgrounds gave me a broader perspective, allowing me to look
beyond my industry, work, and educational background.

TRANSFORMATION
XLRI provided the ideal platform, resources, and support for my career transformation. I am eager to resume my
professional life with the amazing opportunity I have received through XLRI and to apply the invaluable lessons I
have learned throughout my journey.

Divya Enamandra AXIS BANK (Assistant Vice President)
The PGDM(GM) has been an amazing journey for me in terms of adding value to what I have learned in a different
tangent. Being in the social sector for 8 years has given me exposure to ground-level challenges and people
management. I felt the need to upskill myself and give a business and management perspective to my learnings. The
course has given me a lens to see the world from a business perspective.
The course curriculum has a wide spread of subjects that taught me finance and people management. The diversity
of fellow batchmates brought a flavor of peer learning. The faculty here is amazing and gave direction in a way that
the journey seemed much more interesting to me. Exposure to various aspects like rural immersion programs,
outbound programs, and internship have been more valuable than I thought and expected. The sessions that I have
been part of gave me diverse knowledge of various industries and industry leaders.
The kind of transformation that I got in XLRI professionally and personally is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me
that I would like to cherish, especially the learnings and time that I got throughout the course at XLRI.

The GMP program has had a huge role in enriching my personal and professional outlook.
This ultra-fast-paced course is thoughtfully designed to give the full experience of the 2-year
program without losing any essence of an MBA course from a prestigious institute such as
XLRI as one would imagine it. Be it the excellent faculty or the comprehensive curriculum
or the amazing classmates, it is an experience that transforms one to be the best version of
themselves - in career and beyond. GMP has helped me streamline my thoughts and align
my every decision to “The Greater Good”.
