GITAM Institute of Management is a pioneer in introducing Outbound Training for the students of Management and has been successfully conducting OBT for the last seven years. Outbound Training is an established corporate training tool in Western countries and has gained popularity in India as well. Based on the philosophy of Dr. Kunt Hahn, OBT is all about providing opportunities for self-discovery, personality development and social skills through outdoor exposure.

The innovative experiential learning program is based on the ancient Indian Gurukul system where princes would be trained to become kings through real life learning. This training equips students with basic skills to become successful management professionals. It inculcates true leadership skills with a human touch and enables the students to rejuvenate in a stress-free atmosphere away from the mundane world. They learn not only to face new challenges in difficult circumstances but also to effectively work with people. It leads to synchronization of mind, body and soul and enables them to develop fitness, self-reliance, interpersonal skills and bonding though the new challenges in a new adventure-setting with a new group. A “once-in-a-lifetime” experience, OBT is aimed at helping students discover their own inner selves and their goals in life. It is hoped that, this time too, as in the past, students would benefit greatly from the experience and emerge as individuals transformed for the better.
