This enterprising and pioneering spirit can be witnessed throughout the history of XLRI. XLRI has always had and maintains a global outlook.

These include Post Graduate Programmes in Business Management\Human Resource Management, XLRI - RBS Double Master’s Programme in Supply Chain Management & Supply Chain Analytics, Fellow Programme in Management, Executive Fellow Programme in Management, and Executive PG Programmes for working executives.
