2023-2024

A unique feature of the Programme is its ‘Shadow a Woman Leader’ Module. This compelling six-week Module exposes each Scholar to a successful, senior, professional woman. During this term, they mimic an ‘EA to a CEO’ role and practice key skills before joining the workforce. This opportunity to work with the senior-most level in a company first-hand, helps our Scholars combine practical insights into management practice with women’s and leadership issues. Our Shadow Mentors are at the helm of prominent institutions in India and overseas.
