Frequently Asked Questions

What is unique about your offerings?

LabinMotion was created after a study of the higher management executive education space. The founder of LabinMotion is S Parthasarathy, an MBA from IIM Bangalore (Class of 92-94) who has more than three decades of experience in the industry. He is also a serial entrepreneur and an author of two highly acclaimed books on Entrepreneurship and Customer Value.

It was observed that highly experienced industry leaders and subject matter experts with top-notch academic credentials seldom get the opportunity to share their rich experiences that are rooted in both theory and practice. The IIMs, ISBs, etc., seldom provide the opportunity for industry practitioners who are also passionate teachers to deliver sessions in their programs. Faculty members are strong in theory but lack hands-on industry experience.

Many of the subject matter experts and industry leaders offering courses on LabinMotion are from the IIMs and IITs who have excelled in their chosen fields. Their insights and strong conceptual backgrounds are derived from their experiences as thought leaders and practitioners. Listening to their insights on various topics is bound to provide deep insights that can be invaluable to a working professional.

 

What are the different types of programs you offer?

LabinMotion curates the programs offered by various institutions.  The programs listed cover a wide range of areas in the management discipline. Each of the programs allows the participant to explore a specific topic in depth and go down a path of reflection and discovery that can be truly enriching. Since all the programs are spaced out across weeks, it allows participants to reflect, implement ideas, and share their experiences with others as a part of peer-learning.

Are the programs expensive compared to competition?

The programs are priced competitively and are significantly lower than those offered by the IIMs, IITs, ISB, and other reputable educational institutions. The programs combine theory and practice, which can help participants in real-world situations. Faculty members offering the programs are highly experienced professionals who have studied at the IITs, IIMs, etc., with rich experience at senior positions in the industry. 

Every program has an option to pay in installments. Also, if the participant wishes to enroll for a program and make the payment 3 months before the program start date, a significant discount of 20% is provided.

The recordings of the sessions will be available to participants for a limited period of time, as determined by LabinMotion, after the completion of each session.  This time period would be less than a week after the completion of a session. It is recommended that participants do not miss the Live online sessions. 

Will I get a refund if the program is cancelled?

Aedion Infotech Pvt Ltd (AIPL) has a fair cancellation and refunds policy that is aligned with the norms followed by this industry. 

Any application fee collected towards enrollment in a program is not refundable. Payment of the application fee does not guarantee admission to the program. The final admission into the program rests with the programme directors based on the requirements of the program.

In case of the program being partially delivered and there is confirmation from the program directors/facilitators expressing their inability to complete the program, AIPL shall deduct the pro-rata amount of the sessions that have been delivered from the program fee and refund the balance to the participant within 10 days of the intimation to the participants about the cancellation of the program. A certificate of participation or completion will not be issued in such cases or in cases where the participant has not fulfilled the requirements of the program.
