MESSAGE
FROM THE DIRECTOR
You are what you are, thanks to your family. The efforts, exertions, struggles, and sacrifices
of your parents and grandparents have culminated in you. You are their dream and the best
way to reciprocate is to multiply the inheritance you receive, manifold. Not only in terms of
wealth but also the family bonding, ideas, and values.
Your parents and grandparents have planted the seeds of enterprise within your family.
Riding ups and downs with sheer hard work, grit, and determination, they have brought
your family business to the level it is today. Now, you are at the threshold of beginning
your entrepreneurial journey. First, you will learn in the shadow of your parents and then,
climbing on their shoulders, you will exponentially grow the business. It is most important
that you learn from your seniors. Over the years, they have amassed rich experience and
business acumen. Respect them and with utmost humbleness, observe, discuss and learn
from them.
They can teach you from their experience. You need to augment that by drawing on the
rich experience of those around you. In the GFMB program, you will learn from world-class
faculty who, with a collective experience of 250+ man-years in teaching students from family
businesses, will expose you to the practical aspects of modern family business management,
and how managerial principles are applied within concrete business situations, irrespective
of the type and scale of the business.
You have a career of about three to four decades ahead of you. In coming times, no business
can remain aloof from the winds of globalisation. At S P Jain, through sessions at our very
own campus in Dubai, you will learn about business in the Middle East, and through sessions
at our state-of-the-art campus in Singapore, you will be exposed to business in the Far East.
Similarly, technology will not spare any business and the program will help you grasp the
essence of incorporating technology to transform your business. In short, you will graduate
as a global, tech-savvy businessperson.
You are also a dreamer in your own right. Your family business is your starting point – a
training ground of sorts. Well-equipped with the skills, tools, and business exposure you
gain from the GFMB program, you will navigate the world of business and discover new
opportunities, ideas, and business models.
Do remember that your current family business is not your destiny. It is the springboard to
launch your family legacy into the next orbit. In our experience of working with over 4,000
students from family businesses, we know how you learn. And, it is not through exams
or by attending one-way lectures, but through engaging, relevant, and hands-on learning
experiences. That is what makes S P Jain’s GFMB so unique, and most appropriate for newage people like you.
Welcome. Your mission is to transform a ‘grocery store’ into a ‘Walmart’. Get ready for the
jerks and the falls. You will learn to get up and sprint in your long journey of building great
business enterprises on the foundation of your current family business.
It is a thrill all the way.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
GLOBAL FAMILY MANAGED
BUSINESS
The Global Family Managed Business (GFMB) is an innovative 12-month
postgraduate program designed to equip young family business owners
and leaders with the knowledge, skills and specific tools they can use when
addressing issues specific to their own family businesses.
The S P Jain GFMB is built on the principle that leaders, no matter what
type, will be faced with many difficult and different decisions. Combining
case studies, discussions, debates and real-world tools, you will develop
new approaches to decision-making and gain valuable insights into issues
such as nurturing effective business and family relationships, developing
long-term customers, maintaining ownership control, managing resources,
defining new business initiatives and managing conflict.
In addition to collaborating with elite peers, world-class faculty and industry
leaders, the S P Jain GFMB offers opportunities that will help you develop
the tools, techniques and frameworks needed to run your business at a
global level. While the program imparts modern and global perspectives it
also addresses issues peculiar to family businesses grounded in one’s own
culture, tradition and family beliefs.

THE S P JAIN
ADVANTAGE
We don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ learning approach. That’s why,
as a GFMB student at S P Jain, you will be engaged and motivated
using a wide variety of teaching tools. Like our multi-city learning
model that allows students to experience the business culture in not
one, but three global cities. Or, our unique program structure that
provides actual hands-on experience.
Our classes often witness a powerful fusion of technology and
business education, resulting in an impactful and real-world learning
experience. We welcome you to explore how the S P Jain GFMB can
empower you and your family business.
TRI-CITY LEARNING FORMAT
Business schools until now have been operating in a single campus model
with very little importance given to understanding the dynamic global business
environment.
Doing business across borders requires critical skills, each dependent on the
location where they operate. After all, how you do business in China is different
from how you do business in Australia or the United States. Western companies doing business in the
East require appreciation and careful navigation of the cultural differences between the East and the West.
As a GFMB student at S P Jain, you have the opportunity to study in the world’s top business hubs,
providing you with a unique exposure to multinational business environments and cultures. You get multiple
opportunities to study international business practices, network with business owners and community
leaders, and use global strategies to ‘reimagine your business’.
MENTORSHIP
Successful people often credit their mentors with helping them grow and succeed.
S P Jain’s GFMB students have the opportunity to learn and be mentored by
faculty with a collective 250+ man-years of experience helping family businesses
succeed. Our faculty have an immaculate way of connecting with students on their
personal and business issues, giving them the comfort of asking questions without
hesitation.
A truly unique element of the program is the mentoring by family members. Families
are awash in potential mentors – parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins or
siblings – ever present to guide you as you transform into a global business leader.
Family members as mentors provide many benefits. They offer love, sympathy
and essential life lessons that help you build important habits, manage conflicts,
nurture effective relationships, and instil a sense of appreciation for what has been
earned and learned.
FOREIGN EDUCATIONAL TOURS
The world around us has evolved, over centuries, due to brilliant contributions
from people who are curious and enterprising, challenging the current limits, and
creating new solutions. The Foreign Education Tours (FET) at S P Jain are designed
specially to learn from these brilliant people and organisations around the world.
During the 10-day educational tours, our GFMB students not only interact with
leading stalwarts from top global organisations, they also experience different
cities and countries while imbibing their local history, politics, geography, culture, and behaviour, and
understanding how these help shape businesses. The FETs also play a crucial role in helping students get
out of their comfort zones, expand their horizons, and understand how they can give their own businesses
a truly global edge.
TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN LEARNING
Shri Govindkaka Dholakia addresses students during an Industry Exposure visit to SRK Exports, Surat
Technology is at the heart of the S P Jain experience – what we teach, how we teach
and who teaches is largely technology-driven. Even within the GFMB program, we
have integrated many new and emerging technologies, giving students a sense of
the workplace of the future. Through interactions with S P Jain’s faculty, and thought
leaders and innovators, students have the opportunity to explore how technologies
such as Big Data, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things
are enabling new ideas and business decisions.
A STRONG FOCUS ON REAL-TIME
INDUSTRY EXPOSURE
At S P Jain, we firmly believe that while seeing reinforces the belief, experiencing strengthens conviction.
As a GFMB student at S P Jain, Industry Exposure visits will play a crucial role in your learning experience.
You will have the opportunity to enhance your education by participating in immersive visits to some of
India’s and the world’s top companies while engaging with senior executives and leaders, gaining practical
real-world perspective on different functions within organisations, and enhance your critical thinking to
take your family business to the next level. Here’s a glimpse at how you can benefit from S P Jain’s GFMB
Industry Exposure visits:
BUILD AN EXPOSURE TO THE APPLICATION OF MANAGEMENT
Management concepts are much beyond the knowledge gained from a textbook, and better understood
when they are seen and experienced in practice. During S P Jain’s Industry Exposure visits, students are
exposed to different management practices of leading businesses across India and around the world,
helping them gain an understanding of how a management concept is suitably modified and adapted to
the employee needs of an organisation before being applied to the organisation.
UNDERSTAND DIVERSE PROCESSES FOLLOWED BY LEADING INDIAN
AND GLOBAL INDUSTRIES
A garment manufacturing company in Gujarat, a precision electronic chip manufacturing company in
Korea, a marble manufacturing company in Rajasthan, and a hydroponic farming start-up in the UAE follow
manufacturing processes that are vastly different from each other.
The GFMB Industry Exposure visits across India and the world are designed carefully to help students
experience the diversity in the processes followed by leading Indian and global industries first-hand, dive
deep into the complexities faced by each sector due to the nature of their products and location, and
critically reflect on them.
Students meet Dr Thumbay Moideen (Founder & President - Thumbay Group) during an Industry Exposure visit to
Thumbay Medicity, UAE
GAIN VALUABLE INSIGHTS THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO YOUR FAMILY
BUSINESSES
The visits also act as a proven management practice that students can apply to their own family businesses. During
their interaction with the diverse industries and organisations, students are exposed to the various manufacturing and
management processes successfully implemented by these industries that help streamline production. This learning
goes a long way in assisting students in understanding what works and what doesn’t, allowing them to adapt and apply
the valuable methods within the context of their family businesses.
CONSOLIDATE STRONG AND LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIPS
Our students often agree that one of the best things about undertaking a GFMB Industry Exposure visit at S P Jain
is the network that they build. Not only do students get to build a network with the staff and senior management of
the organisations they are visiting, they also get the opportunity to gel with their peers – talking, laughing, sharing,
eating, staying and enjoying with each other, forming long-lasting relationships that benefit them both professionally
and personally.

STUDENT
EXPERIENCES
I decided to join S P Jain because of the experienced faculty and the feedback from
my brother, who is an alumnus of the program.
Being from a technical background, I had limited knowledge of finance. But this
course made me understand finance in such a manner which is very important for a
business owner. Plus, the tri-city model of the course made me understand different
aspects of doing business in other parts of the world. It helped me build a clear goal
about which business areas to focus on based on the real-time returns.
Most importantly, this course made me love my family business and taught me that
one must be proud of their family business.
What can I say? For sure, S P Jain is one of the best schools that I have studied
in! The professors are more like business personnel who teach through their
own experience and through tried and tested methods rather than any booklets.
From Samish Sir’s “Chay Pio” and Menon Sir’s “ Mantras” to Hiten Sir’s “What do
customers want?” and Rajiv Sir’s constant bashing on how to be a great leader - I’m
so grateful to the entire GFMB team for helping us become better entrepreneurs and
making us believe that the sky is limit.
I loved the course so much that I made sure that my father joined S P Jain’s Global
Owner Management Program (GOMP), and he is also thoroughly enjoying his
learning experience.

I remember our first lecture with Dr Parimal Merchant when he said, “There is no
book on how to run a business”. But I found my book in my GFMB course.
With the help of SP Jain, we have now successfully ventured into a new product
range of Indian Mouth fresheners with a promising start in new markets.

My journey with GFMB has truly been incredible. During these 12 months, I believe
the biggest change in me has been in my mindset and my way of working, such
as thinking strategically in all scenarios; focusing on better productivity and
efficiency to improve margins and bottom lines; taking decisions with long term
perspectives in mind, target setting, and building a better understanding of
the company through the variety of assignments and tasks provided. I call my
S P Jain faculty, staff, and classmates my second family, as they were nothing short
of one. It was a pleasure to be a part of such a fantastic setup and I would continue
to proudly call myself a GFMB alumnus forever.
Siddhant Dugar | GFMB 8
S P Jain’s GFMB program has been a turning point in my life. The opportunity to
interact with faculty and professional leaders has been highly valuable and has
strengthened my love for business management. A friendly and open-minded
atmosphere ensured a seamless networking experience with people from within and
outside the academic course. Each member of the faculty has been instrumental in
broadening my perspective and to build confidence in facing various challenges in
turn help me develop global leadership skills.
Throughout the duration of the program, I have learnt from mentors, both young and
old, and I believe this has been a truly memorable learning experience.

The GFMB course at S P Jain not only provides a conducive business learning
experience but is highly helpful for a person inclined to join their family business.
The professors at S P Jain are not just academicians; they come with a plethora of
business experience. They teach you how to enter and thrive in your family business
while taking your business to new heights in this competitive market. I am highly
thankful to the program for giving me the skills to grow my three business ventures.

GFMB for me is “Going Forward with a new Mindset for Business” while
upholding the key values of your Family Business at the same time. The
program helps you expand your business outlook immensely. I would
mark it as an experience that changes the way you do the business
instead of the old-school way of sticking to just the textbook theories.

S P Jain has added to my life in more ways than I could imagine.
I have not only taken knowledge from the elitist of the industry but I
also found a support system for life and a friend in them.
The teachings of this course are not like any other business course
you can have. It’s real. It’s practical. I did this course at a point in my
life where I could apply everything in real-time and it has helped me in
my business tremendously. This program has helped me become the
businesswoman I always envisioned to be.
I am absolutely sure that the S P Jain GFMB will continue to be relatable
and helpful throughout my life. I will always have only good things to
say about everyone I have met on this journey and I am so grateful for
that.

I had the opportunity to pursue S P Jain’s GFMB program in 2019. This dynamic
course established by Dr Parimal Merchant and led by a plethora of accomplished
faculty has provided me with immense learning opportunities and increased
knowledge of managing and growing my business. The program also helped
me connect with other business owners across the country and broadened my
perspective on various management issues and business models.
S P Jain School of Global Management has been a crucial aid of my incredible
journey of evolution as a business owner and as an individual.
Parth Badruka | GFMB 12
The S P Jain GFMB program has been one of the best decisions in
my academic career. The program helped me a lot in developing selfconfidence and to break geographical barriers in business.
The whole program is based on a practical business approach which
helps an individual to learn the actual potential of the family business.
Networking is one of the best parts of this program as you get to
know people from different areas with diverse businesses. For me, the
highlight of the GFMB experience was that it taught me how to make
quick decisions and develop leadership skills which are helping me a
lot.
I would definitely suggest this program for the young entrepreneur
joining their family business.

The GFMB program at S P Jain School of Global Management has been the most
memorable year of my life. It has not only helped me grow my business but also
myself as an individual. The professors at S P Jain give you the knowledge and reallife business practicalities that you can’t get from any textbook, as they come from
a profusion of business experiences.
The network that has been formed and is still forming on a daily basis through
this course is phenomenal. For me, the best part of the program was the Foreign
Industrial Tour to Dubai, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan which gave me a global
perspective on businesses and helped me develop global leadership skills.
