CEE Programme for YPO South Asian Chapter
The CEE at the ISB and the Young President’s
Organisation (YPO), South Asia 
Chapter organised a leadership programme,
conducted by John W Mullins, Associate
Professor and Chair of the Entrepreneurship
group at the London Business School and
K Ramachandran, Clinical Professor of
Entrepreneurship at the ISB.
YPO is a group of young global business leaders
from 110 nations, who come together in an
exclusive peer network to exchange ideas, pursue
learning, and share success strategies. One of
the ways they are doing this is to run specially
devised executive education courses at
world-class business schools, like London
Business School, Stanford, and Harvard. “When
the South Asian Chapter of YPO wanted to launch
such a programme in India,” informed Sarath Sura,
CEO, Sierra Atlantic, and Event Chair, “the
first institution that came to our mind was the
CEE at the ISB.”

need for such a programme in India. The programme

work to help financial professionals make trading,
hedging, and investment decisions and to manage

each, one module per month. It aims to enhance the
expertise of professionals in commercial and
investment banking, asset management, corporate

CEE is the Indian Associate for Goldman Sachs Initiative
10,000 Women, a global initiative by Goldman Sachs
Group, aims to provide 10,000 underserved women,
predominantly in developing and emerging markets,
with a business and management education. Through
partnerships between universities in the US and
Europe, and business schools in emerging and
developing countries, 10,000 Women seeks to open
doors for thousands of women whose financial and
practical circumstances prevent them from receiving
a traditional business education.
The CEE at the ISB will be the India associate to
implement this global initiative in India. The
initial partnerships will support pragmatic,
flexible and shorter term programmes, resulting in
business and management certificates. Speaking about
CEE’s association with this global initiative,
Deepak Chandra, Associate Dean, CEE, said, "It is
very important for influential B-schools such as the
Indian School of Business, to take on the
responsibility of breaking traditional barriers and
mindsets and provide opportunities for women to
utilise their entrepreneurial talents.”

Emerging Economies
Recognising the value and the challenges which
emerging economies represent for multinationals and
their executives, around the world, the CEE at the
ISB, along with Fundaçao Dom Cabral (Brazil), Moscow
School of Business - Skolkovo (Russia), and Fudan

specifically tailored to meet the needs of MNCs
preparing for or pursuing expansion in emerging
countries. Called the ‘Emerging Economies Executive
Development Programme’, it is the first programme
ever to combine the resources of four schools
representing some of the fastest growing economies
in the world. The programme will help leverage the
most important success factors that a firm needs to
operate in an emerging economies - to develop new
mindsets in order to comprehend unfamiliar
environments, transcend cultural barriers, go beyond
their usual business models, fully exploit their
current capabilities and transfer them effectively. The programme is well-suited for both firms
from developed economies, whether they are seeking
for new markets or efficiency across their value
chain; and firms from emerging economies, as they
increasingly reach out to other developing
countries, insert themselves in global value chains,
or face new competition from foreign firms at home.
