Running from March 3 to March 14, 2025, the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode's 10-month Women Leadership Programme offers limited-time enrolment benefits for women professionals aspiring to step into leadership roles.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK) has announced an exclusive campaign for its 10-month Women Leadership Programme. Running from March 3 to March 14, 2025, the campaign offers limited-time enrolment benefits for women professionals aspiring to step into leadership roles. IIMK has collaborated with Emeritus to provide a transformative learning experience that will help close the gender gap in leadership across industries.

Exclusive Campaign for Women Leaders

The Women Leadership Programme is designed for mid to senior-level women professionals, focusing on enhancing leadership skills and executive presence. As part of the International Women’s Day Campaign, participants will receive special enrolment benefits, including early bird incentives, exclusive networking opportunities, and access to insightful discussions with accomplished women leaders. These benefits are only available during the campaign window from March 3 to March 14, 2025.

According to the Mind the Gender Gap Report 2024 by the CFA Institute, women make up less than 20% of the workforce and hold just over 10% of key managerial positions globally. The report reveals that female directors account for under 20% of board positions and earn 44% of what their male counterparts make. The findings underline the pressing need for programs like IIM Kozhikode’s Women Leadership Programme that specifically aim to address the systemic biases and barriers women face in the corporate world.
