BITSoM Launches Leadership Programme for Women Executives; Course Starts Nov 15

Offers personalized coaching and mentorship for women transitioning from managerial to leadership roles

BITS School of Management (BITSoM) has announced the launch of their 11-month Leadership Programme for Women Executives (LPWE) at the Centre for Executive and Professional Development (CEPD).  Set to commence in November 2025, the programme is designed for experienced women professionals in the critical transition from managerial roles to positions of leadership.

Building on the success of BITSoM’s inaugural executive education offering in Retail and Supply Chain Analytics, this new programme will address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women in the contemporary corporate landscape. Rooted in self-discovery and meaningful skill development, the curriculum is designed to equip participants with the confidence and capability needed to accelerate their professional growth and take up leadership roles.

The comprehensive programme includes 100 live interactive sessions, 1.5 hours each, integrating lectures, case studies, role plays, and experiential activities. Key modules cover essential areas such as strategic leadership, advanced communication, design thinking, negotiation, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies like AI and ML. The programme adopts a hybrid faculty approach with a mix of well-known professors from BITSoM and other top tier Indian B-Schools, along with seasoned industry professionals, ensuring a blend of academic rigor and real-world relevance.

What sets this programme apart is its unique blend of features designed for maximum impact. Participants will benefit from an individual capstone project, offering personalized coaching and mentorship to solve real-world problems. An Industry Advisory Council, comprising prominent CEOs and management leaders, will provide group mentoring and help shape the curriculum.

Participants will engage in two immersive in-person campus experiences at BITSoM’s Mumbai campus, and a distinctive 3-day outbound experiential workshop fostering deep reflection, peer learning, and hands-on leadership development.

Dr. Saravanan Kesavan, Dean, BITSoM, added, "At BITSoM, we are committed to shaping a new wave of courageous and visionary women leaders — ready to push boundaries and lead with purpose. This programme is specifically designed for mid-to-senior professionals looking to amplify their impact and step into larger leadership roles. It equips them with the tools, perspectives, and confidence to navigate complex challenges, influence change, and build more inclusive, forward-thinking organizations. We believe their leadership will be key to creating a more balanced and progressive future across industries."
