Imarticus Learning has marked an impressive milestone with its newly launched Project Management Prodegree, developed in collaboration with KPMG in India. Within just five months of launch, the programme has enrolled nearly 200 learners and earned an outstanding average rating of 9.2 out of 10.
The strong response underscores the growing need for skilled project-management professionals capable of driving execution and delivering value in an AI-enabled workplace. Industry research indicates a potential global shortfall of nearly 29.8 million qualified project professionals by 2035, alongside a 64% surge in demand across regions.
Unlike conventional theory-based courses, the Imarticus–KPMG Prodegree focuses on hands-on, execution-driven learning. It integrates live case studies, expert mentorship, and practical exposure to tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Trello, Asana, Power BI and Microsoft Project. A dedicated module on AI for Project Managers introduces learners to ClickUp, AI agents and no-code automation—enhancing their ability to plan efficiently, mitigate risks and improve team collaboration.
“As organisations embrace digital transformation and AI-driven workflows, the demand for project managers who can adapt and lead effectively is stronger than ever,” said Nikhil Barshikar, founder and CEO of Imarticus Learning. “The programme’s early success reflects the appetite for high-quality, industry-aligned project-management education in India. Our collaboration with KPMG in India enables us to deliver a practical, technology-focused learning experience that empowers professionals to drive meaningful impact.”
Two batches have launched so far, each enrolling around 60 learners, with feedback highlighting the programme’s practical design and industry relevance. Delivered jointly by experts from KPMG in India, the curriculum includes interactive workshops, real-world case studies such as the AstraZeneca PMO transformation, and personalised mentorship guiding learners through end-to-end project implementation.
Covering Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid and Lean Six Sigma methodologies, the programme also awards 35 Professional Development Units (PDUs)—a prerequisite for the globally recognised PMP certification.
Through its partnerships with leading organisations including KPMG in India, AWS and PwC, Imarticus Learning continues to co-create future-ready, industry-focused programmes that prepare professionals to thrive in an AI-driven world.
