Shadow a CEO

Shadow a CEO is a unique programme organised 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 programme has been a great success since its launch in 2009.

The objective of Shadow a CEO is two-fold:

Engage the youth in the act of giving
Provide them with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe and learn lessons by spending a day with some of the biggest CXOs.

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.

In the offline shadowing, the student would spend an entire day with the CXO, shadowing him/ her while the CXO performs his/ her day-to-day activities

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 can participate in the event.

Key Dates:

Student Registration: January 29 - 31, 2024
Student Bidding: February 5-6, 2024

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.
