France based management institution INSEAD, will offer one year leadership programme in India beginning August 2011.
The programme, called INSEAD Leadership Programme for Senior Indian Executives (ILPSIE) will be conducted at INSEAD’s global campuses in France and Singapore.
The programme will cost Rs 16.5 lakh plus service tax. The B-school has also tied up with Credila, a non-bank finance company and subsidiary of HDFC limited, to provide collateral free education loan to the tune of Rs 12 lakh.
Executive education in India is a Rs 300 crore market. While Harvard Business School and Tuck School of Business are already present in India in a limited way, they would soon be joined by others like Oxford University’s Said Business School and Duke University. The Said Business School at the University of Oxford proposes to establish a Center for Indian business studies — the Oxford University India Business Center which will, among other things, also deliver executive education programmes.
INSEAD is introducing the programme in association with Eruditus, its programme partner in India and senior executives with over 10 years of work experience will be eligible to enrol for the programme.
“The programme will enhance leadership skills of senior executives and help them face the challenges created by the huge business opportunities in India,” said Professor Paddy Padmanabhan, John H Loudon Professor of International Management at INSEAD and co-programme director for ILPSIE.
Professor Bala Vissa, associate professor of Entrepreneurship at INSEAD and co-programme director said, “ILPSIE has been tailored to address the relative scarcity of general management and leadership skills in Indian companies.”
