The August 2019 edition of the ILSS Leadership Program features some of the brightest minds in the development space as speakers—and a cohort comprising leaders from India’s leading organisations.
The sixth edition of the ILSS Leadership Program is scheduled to take place at Ashoka University from August 23 to 31, 2019. This time, we have a cohort of more than 25 senior corporate executives from leading organisations—and, as always, we have a fantastic line-up of speakers to inspire them.
We look forward to an exciting, inspiring nine days of new ideas, fresh perspectives and experiential learning as our cohort discovers the world of social development, under the able guidance of our wonderful speakers.
