ISB Executive Education and Emeritus Commence Chief Technology Officer Programme

MUMBAI:

From the explosion of Generative AI to economic headwinds and political storms, the rate at which change, innovation and, market volatility are transforming the business world is unprecedented. Looking ahead to 2025, India’s real GDP is projected to grow by 6.5–7%, reflecting the economy’s resilience and strong domestic demand as per the joint report by TransUnion CIBIL, WEP (NITI Aayog) and MicroSave Consulting. This growth trajectory underscores the imperative for organisations to enhance their readiness to navigate periods of uncertainty.​
