The Indian Institute of Management Indore has commenced admissions for the second batch of its flagship C-suite program - the Chief Executive Officers Programme, designed to assist both aspiring and existing CEOs and senior leaders in developing strategic and digital leadership skills while guiding transformation in a rapidly evolving business environment.

The program prepares leaders to transition effectively from operational management to organizational leadership with a focused, growth-oriented perspective. The 11-month IIM Indore CEO Programme is designed for senior leaders and executives nearing the C-suite who have a minimum of eight years of industry experience. It fosters the ability to lead in new ways, promote innovation throughout teams, manage risk and uncertainty, and motivate significant change.

Learners develop the ability to establish ambitious, practical growth plans, expedite market entry strategies, cultivate a cooperative, innovation-driven environment, and prioritize the customer in the decision-making process.

As the leadership environment changes, so too should boardroom skills. The IIM Indore executive education employs a comprehensive curriculum to leverage technology and analytics, enhance cross-functional expertise and grasp advanced principles in digital marketing—while also collaborating with C-suite colleagues and senior executives. A key aspect is its Four Masterclass Sessions conducted by Four high-ranking CEOs, providing executive-level perspectives on strategic vision, setbacks and recovery, Indian leadership and excellence, and the poised presence anticipated from a contemporary CEO.
