Leadership effectiveness begins with personal effectiveness, and Excellor, the leadership development programme for Himalaya Wellness, was built on that premise.

Delivered by ISB faculty over an eight-month journey, the programme brings together strategic thinking, emerging technologies and human-centred leadership, translated through Action Learning Projects into real business impact.
This video captures that journey through the cohort's own reflections, and a single thread runs through all of them: that leading well starts with understanding yourself.

For a group accustomed to a fast-paced work life, the programme created rare space to pause, zoom out to enterprise-level thinking, and turn inward to the self-awareness leadership depends on. What stayed with the Himalaya Wellness cohort wasn't a framework, but a realisation: leaders always have a choice, and real impact comes from leading people, not just numbers.

The lesson most carried back was simple: stay open to change, to discomfort, and to discovery.

The expanding strategic mandate of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) calls for leaders who can shape enterprise decisions, lead innovation, and build alignment across global teams.

The recently concluded LeadHERship Next programme brought together 30 women leaders from GCCs across India for a two-day residential immersion designed to prepare them for these responsibilities.

In his opening address, Madan Pillutla, Dean, ISB, examined barriers to women's career progression, encouraging participants to advocate for their contributions, pursue leadership opportunities and build the trust needed to delegate. Rajesh Nambiar, President, NASSCOM, traced India's GCCs moving from centres of capability to centres of leadership, urging participants to build a point of view and sponsor other women into the opportunities they earn. Uma Ratnam Krishnan, Managing Director, Optum India, closed the programme by reflecting on her own career reinventions and the responsibility of leadership to enable the success of others.

The learning connected AI-led business innovation with strategic decision-making, influence across matrix organisations and executive presence. Together, these perspectives will strengthen participants' ability to take greater ownership of enterprise priorities and advance value creation within their organisations.

Strategic decisions at the enterprise level demand a deeper understanding across growth, transformation, governance, and the forces reshaping business.

Designed for senior professionals, the programme creates space to sharpen judgement, broaden enterprise perspective, and engage with complex business challenges at the highest levels.

Business performance is shaped by how effectively professionals interpret financial data, assess market dynamics, and evaluate strategic trade-offs.

The Executive Programme in Business Management builds this perspective through business fundamentals, strategic thinking, and an understanding of how AI and technology are reshaping decision-making and modern business.

The learning extends beyond the online classroom through a mentor-guided Action Learning Project and a 2-day campus immersion, where participants apply their learning to a real organisational challenge.

Technology alone does not transform a business. The real challenge lies in understanding where it can create value, how it can inform decisions, and how it can be translated into new ways of working.

The Certificate Programme in Digital Business Transformation with AI brings these elements together across technology, business analytics, AI, digital business models, and transformation. Through real-world cases, simulations, an Action Learning Project, and industry expert sessions, participants learn to connect emerging technologies with practical business applications.

From turning data and AI insights into business decisions to designing technology-led models and driving digital transformation, the programme helps professionals build the capabilities to create impact in a technology-driven business environment.

National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development's (NaBFID) expanding institutional mandate brings a corresponding leadership priority: preparing senior leaders to take on broader responsibilities with stronger people leadership, strategic judgement, and an enterprise-wide perspective.

To support this objective, we have partnered with NaBFID on "Leadership 360", a comprehensive 18-month leadership development journey designed to strengthen leadership capabilities and prepare executives for larger organisational responsibilities.

Commenced in August 2026, the programme progresses across three connected areas: People Management Excellence, Leading Change and Growth in the Age of AI, and Business and Strategy Excellence. Campus immersions, digital learning, leadership assessments, Action Learning Projects and structured reflection will enable participants to connect new perspectives with live organisational priorities over time.
The first campus immersion at ISB marked the beginning of the journey. Inaugurated in the presence of Ms Monika Kalia, Deputy Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, NaBFID, the immersion brought participants together to engage with faculty and peers and reflect on the leadership demands associated with their growing responsibilities.

Over the coming months, the journey will strengthen participants’ ability to lead collaboratively, navigate change, work across functional boundaries and contribute to NaBFID’s wider institutional priorities.

AI is no longer a differentiator on its own. Nearly every organisation now uses it in some form. What separates the ones creating real value from the ones still experimenting is the judgement their leaders bring to how AI is deployed, governed, and scaled.

The AI for Leaders: Strategy to Action Programme builds that judgement directly. Senior leaders learn to weigh AI's real costs and risks, evaluate the tools available to them, and take ownership of how AI is used across their organisation.

Delivered over three days on campus at ISB Hyderabad, the programme combines faculty-led sessions, hands-on practice with AI tools, and a business case worked through with an industry-aligned peer group, culminating in an AI roadmap built for each participant's own organisation.

Programme starts Sep 24, 2026.
