MDI's Advanced Management Programme (AMP) was launched in 1996 to prepare Top Managers of Indian Organisations, for the rapidly-changing Business World of tomorrow. The focus is on examining strategic issues - both functional as well as cross-functional - that leaders need to deal with in their quest for creating successful, globalised organisations. The AMP aims at providing a rare opportunity for top managers to reflect, introspect and examine the objectives and strategies that are critical to their organisations.

The AMP is a four-week program, of which the first two weeks are conducted at the MDI campus, and the next two weeks are held at leading International Business Schools in Europe. In the first two weeks, participants are provided with key inputs on the latest developments in major functional areas, cross-functional areas, strategic management etc. These sessions are conducted by experienced MDI faculty and are further enriched by guest faculty comprising of CEOs, policy makers, senior bureaucrats, and other well-known experts and practitioners.

The two-week Overseas Learning Program (OLP) is designed to help participants acquire international perspectives, and understand best practices and cross cultural issues in managing globalised businesses. As part of this OLP, the participants usually visit leading Business Schools in Europe, such as ESCP EAP European School of Management, Paris, and the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration
