Over 82 per cent of Chief Executive Officer (CEOs) and senior leaders believe that artificial intelligence (AI) will have an extreme to significant impact on their business, as per management consulting organisation Korn Ferry . In response, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, ranked number four amongst Management Colleges in India (NIRF 2024), has launched its advanced programme in Technology & AI Leadership (TAILP). This programme will equip emerging technology leaders with the critical skills needed to lead with confidence in an AI-driven world.
Ideal for new and emerging technology leaders, IT decision-makers, senior managers, business consultants, analysts and tech entrepreneurs, the programme empowers professionals to drive sustained growth through strategic leadership, operational excellence and AI expertise. Participants will learn to create innovative technology strategies, manage IT systems with a focus on cybersecurity and compliance and build leadership skills essential for AI-driven projects.

A two-day campus immersion at IIT Delhi provides participants with a unique opportunity to engage with faculty, collaborate with peers and partake in workshops designed to refine leadership skills and enhance their understanding of AI-driven business environments.
Findings from EY’s CEO Survey underscore the relevance of this programme, which revealed that Indian business leaders are rapidly integrating AI into their strategic agendas, with 70 per cent of CEOs planning increased investment in new technologies and AI.
