IIM Indore, TimesPro launch Senior Management Programme for AI-Driven Business Management

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India] October 16: The Indian Institute of Management Indore, in collaboration with TimesPro – a leading higher education platform has announced the admissions for the fourth batch of the Senior Management Programme. Designed for senior professionals, the programme aims to develop agile and forward-thinking leaders by integrating core concepts such as strategic leadership, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics and digital transformation—empowering learners to excel in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.

As global business ecosystems undergo rapid transformation due to technological advances and evolving roles, it has become critical for senior leaders to upskill and stay ahead of the curve. A report by PwC highlights that executives need to enhance their proficiency in cloud technologies, automation and data-driven decision-making to generate meaningful returns and sustainable growth. Moreover, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report forecasts that 50% of employees will require reskilling within the next five years, emphasising the importance of leaders who have been at the helm of organisations for decades.

To address these emerging needs, IIM Indore’s 12-month Senior Management Programme combines cutting-edge tools and insights to foster adaptive and future-ready leaders. It focuses on AI-powered decision-making and customer-centric innovation, blending digital transformation principles with leadership strategies to provide a competitive edge. The curriculum spans 21 advanced topics across four comprehensive modules, covering areas like digital innovation, leadership in the age of AI and customer-centric business models. The programme includes a Capstone project that enhances learning by providing learners with practical experience in addressing industry-relevant challenges and applying cutting-edge leadership frameworks.

Speaking at the announcement, Prof. Himanshu Rai, Director, IIM Indore said, “Today’s business leaders must transcend traditional leadership paradigms to drive innovation and create resilient organisations for the future. This programme empowers leaders to harness the power of data and technology, aligning their strategic vision with the demands of a dynamic global market. The IIM Indore-TimesPro Senior Management Programme is designed to shape forward-thinking executives who can navigate disruption and lead with precision, ultimately positioning them for success in the C-suite.”

Sunil Sood, Chief Growth & Partnership Officer, TimesPro said, “The IIM Indore-TimesPro Senior Management Programme is an essential platform for senior professionals aspiring to accelerate their careers with the right skill set. This programme equips learners with cutting-edge insights from top faculty and industry leaders, reshaping their perspectives and preparing them to embrace the future with advanced tools and strategies. It offers a transformative experience that empowers leaders to drive impactful growth and successfully navigate the evolving demands of today’s business world.”

The programme has attracted a diverse mix of senior professionals in its previous cohorts, with participants from roles such as Chief Marketing Officer, Vice President, Senior Vice President, Director, General Manager, and Entrepreneurs. These professionals span a wide array of industries, including IT, BFSI, automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, education, and aviation. They bring with them experience in marketing, operations, HR, business development, corporate communications, engineering, and consulting.

A key highlight of the programme is a three-day campus immersion at IIM Indore, offering learners opportunities to forge valuable connections with peers from various sectors, engage in collaborative projects and partake in group learning exercises. This cross-functional approach fosters dynamic learning and strengthens the leadership capabilities of learners.
