‘Leaders of Steel’ to upgrade their ‘leadership styles’, through this IIM-Bangalore programme…

Bengaluru: Jindal Stainless has partnered with the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) to co-create a customised ‘Strategic Leadership Development Programme’ aimed at strengthening strategic thinking, business judgment, and decision-making among the company’s senior professionals.

The programme was formally inaugurated by Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, and his team of executives, along with the senior academic leadership of IIMB.

Twenty-three participants in the Leadership Development Programme representing cross-functional domains from Jindal Stainless will undergo sessions led by the faculty.

The curriculum will engage the participants through a highly interactive and experiential pedagogy, with strong emphasis on real-world application.

Speaking on the collaboration, Abhyuday Jindal said: “As Jindal Stainless continues to scale and grow, preparing a leadership pipeline becomes imperative. Learning from the distinguished faculties at IIM Bangalore will enable our senior leaders gain fresh perspectives, sharpen their strategic thinking, and navigate complex business environments with greater confidence. Initiatives such as this ensure our leadership depth evolves in step with the organisation’s growth ambitions and global knowledge benchmarks. We are happy to partner with IIMB in advancing this effort.”

Dean (Programmes) of IIM Bangalore, Dr. Mukta Kulkarni, said: “Leadership today requires a combination of strong conceptual knowledge and real-world business perspective. Industry-academia partnerships play an important role in shaping leaders who can navigate the dynamic landscape. IIM Bangalore developed this programme — an integration of academic insight with business context — to strengthen the leadership capabilities of the participants by equipping them with skills needed to effectively manage an increasingly dynamic business environment.”

The programme will cover a wide range of topics like strategy, finance, macro-economic influences on business, innovation, emerging technology trends, understanding the self, personality building, collaboration, and working in teams.
