IIM Indore announces second batch of CEO Programme for Transformational Enterprise Leadership

The 11-month Chief Executive Officers Programme targets senior leaders and executives approaching the C-suite with at least eight years of industry experience.

The Indian Institute of Management Indore has opened admissions to the second cohort of its marquee C-suite offering - the Chief Executive Officers Programme, crafted to help aspiring and current CEOs and senior leaders build strategic and digital leadership acumen while steering transformation across a fast-shifting business ecosystem.

The programme readies leaders to move decisively from functional management to enterprise leadership with a clear, growth-centred vision.

The 11-month Chief Executive Officers Programme targets senior leaders and executives approaching the C-suite with at least eight years of industry experience. It develops the capability to lead differently, drive innovation across teams, navigate risk and uncertainty, and inspire transformative change. Learners learn to set bold, actionable growth plans, accelerate go-to-market strategies, foster a collaborative, innovation-led culture, and place the customer at the centre of decision-making.

As the leadership landscape evolves, so must boardroom capabilities. The Chief Executive Officers Programme adopts a multi-pronged curriculum to harness technology and analytics, deepen cross-functional fluency and master advanced concepts in digital marketing—alongside learning with C-suite peers and senior leaders. A defining feature is its Four Masterclass Sessions led by Four top-level CEOs, offering executive-suite insights on strategic vision, failure and recovery, Indian leadership and excellence and the executive presence expected of a modern CEO.

Speaking at the announcement, Prof. Himanshu Rai, Director, IIM Indore said, “At IIM Indore, our Chief Executive Officers Programme equips senior leaders to navigate disruption with judgement, resilience and purpose. We blend rigorous scholarship with contemporary practice to build strategic depth, digital fluency and stakeholder credibility. With masterclasses from top CEOs and an immersive campus experience, learners return to their organisations ready to lead transformation and compound value for sustainable advantage.”

Sharing his thoughts, Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head, TimesPro said, “TimesPro is delighted to partner with IIM Indore on this marquee programme for India’s next generation of CEOs. The curriculum builds cross-functional fluency, customer centricity and data-led decision-making, empowering leaders to accelerate growth, de-risk execution and embed innovation at scale across markets, industries and cycles.”

The programme also features a three-day campus immersion designed to catalyse lifelong leadership networks. Learners engage in forums that encourage the exchange of industry-specific insights and the cross-pollination of ideas—broadening functional expertise and strengthening leadership capability.

It focuses on four domains: Technology and Analytics, Consumer Behaviour and Customer Centricity, Strategy, and Leadership.

On successful completion, learners will become eligible for the executive education alumni status of IIM Indore.
