Shadow a CEO is a unique program organized by the Indian School of Business (ISB) as part of Daan Utsav (earlier known as the Joy of Giving Week) to inculcate the habit of giving among the youth of India and provide them with an opportunity to interact up close with the country’s most successful managerial talent. The program has been a great success since its launch in 2009.
The objective of Shadow a CEO is two-fold:
The students bid for the CXO of their choice in a live auction. The CXO then contributes an equal amount, if not more and the collective corpus goes to a charity of the CXO's choice.
We are proposing an Offline model shadowing experience. The details are as per below.
The details of CXO's preference for offline shadowing are mentioned below.
Current post-graduate (PGP) students of ISB and other top business schools like IIMA, IIMB, IIMC, IIM L, and XLRI will participate in the online auction to be held between December 23-24, 2022.

When I was asked to write this testimonial, I started wondering about the kind of value that can be derived from a program like “Shadow a CEO” if the entire thing happens online now.
It was my pleasure meeting with CEO Shivansh Tyagi, Navigus, edtech startup in Bangalore. As a foreigner in India, I’m strongly interested in the Indian startup culture and ecosystems which attract many international investors and companies.
I shadowed Gaurav Gupta, the COO of Zomato. I was fortunate enough to have gotten him at a reasonable bid. I've always felt that exposure to the working styles of CXOs is very valuable and I was not going to miss this opportunity.
As a part of Shadow a CEO, I happened to meet Mr. U.B. Pravin Rao, COO - Infosys, and spend a day with him, attending meetings, having lunch, and going through a cultural fest launch in Infosys, where he was the Chief Guest.
The highlight of my last term break at ISB was shadowing Mr. Harsh Mariwala, Founder & Chairman of Marico Limited. The discomfort I had on entering the cabin of the founder of an INR 40k crore company was thrown out the window looking at his warm nature and no-frills demeanor. In one word, the man in Inspiring.
I shadowed Mr Ajoy Misra, MD of Tata Global Beverages Ltd. The office is located very close to the iconic Bombay House(the home of Tatas). During the entire day I had several 1-1 with him. I even had the fortune of attending a meeting with Tata Trusts. It gave me a unique insight into the typical working day of a CEO. The experience was humbling and unique.
