Addressing the growing need for forward-thinking management professionals and leaders who can drive success amidst continual change, this strategic alliance has adeptly anticipated market trends and delivered state-of-the-art solutions tailored to the evolving demands of the business world.

In response to the rapid evolution of AI across industries worldwide, IIM Calcutta and TalentSprint have unveiled a new initiative: the AI for Leaders programme. Professor Saravana Jaikumar spearheads this programme from the Marketing Group, and Professor Debashis Saha from the Management Information Systems Group, both of IIM Calcutta.

Programme Overview:

This programme, tailored for current and emerging leaders, equips participants with the strategic acumen to leverage AI as a transformative business tool. Focusing on AI's potential to drive business innovation and growth prepares leaders to navigate the complexities of an AI-driven landscape and seize emerging opportunities.

Previously, IIM Calcutta and TalentSprint pioneered the Fintech and Financial Blockchain programme during the early days of digital banking. This initiative empowered professionals to adeptly navigate technological advancements in finance, setting the stage for subsequent transformative programmes that continue to reshape management education for working professionals.

The Partnership:

The partnership also addresses specific industry needs. The Education Leaders' Programme (EdLEAP) was designed to equip educational leaders with the advanced tools and skills needed to elevate their institutions to new levels of excellence.

Furthermore, the Digital Business Leadership programme was launched to provide leaders and aspiring CXOs with the expertise to steer digital transformation, drive innovation, and foster sustainable growth. 

Professor Saibal Chattopadhyay, Director of IIM Calcutta, commented, "Our collaboration with TalentSprint has been transformative since the inception of the fintech programme. It has allowed us to broaden our impact, serve a diverse array of professionals, and cultivate a community of not only leaders but visionaries.
