These specialized programs are designed to close essential skill shortages and help professionals excel in their fields, promoting India's leadership in the international market.

The Chief Financial Officer Programme, directed by Professor Shveta Singh, PFS Chair Professor and Chair of Finance at the Department of Management Studies, IIT Delhi, equips finance experts for strategic leadership positions, emphasizing financial strategy, risk management, and digital integration. Participants will engage in practical projects and develop skills in simulations and data analytics tools to facilitate informed decision-making in dynamic business environments.

The Executive Management Programme in Supply Chain and Operations Analytics, directed by Professor Dr. Gourav Dwivedi (Programme Coordinator and Assistant Professor, Department of Management Studies, IIT Delhi), is a specialized program that merges academic excellence with real-world industry knowledge to equip participants for the difficulties of modern supply chain management.
