Imarticus Learning, a professional education company, has announced its partnership with London Business School, to introduce the Chief Financial Officer (India) Programme. The programme is tailored for finance leaders with over ten years of work experience wishing to pivot to C-suite roles, especially as CFOs, equipping them with the skills to drive business transformation, digital innovation, and global financial strategy.
The programme bridges the skills gap in financial leadership in India by offering strategic acumen, global perspectives, and modern financial expertise required to lead in today’s dynamic business environment. With a focus on experiential learning and global exposure, the programme will create a new generation of CFOs capable of navigating cross-border financial complexities and leading multinational organizations.
Traditionally seen as the gatekeeper of finances, today’s CFO is expected to be a strategic leader capable of navigating complex global business landscapes, driving digital transformation, and enhancing business agility. As many as 86% of Indian CFOs feel that their responsibilities have broadened over the past two years, extending beyond traditional finance functions into areas such as IT, operations, and business strategy. Additionally, 84% are expected to lead transformative initiatives within their organizations. This shift highlights the need for a new generation of CFOs who can lead organizations through financial transformation and global uncertainties.
Participants of this programme will gain access to world-class learning from London Business School’s distinguished faculty. The comprehensive curriculum covers critical areas such as modern financial strategies, risk management, mergers and acquisitions, corporate strategy, and valuation. It includes a 5-day intensive training with London Business School faculty in Mumbai, followed by a 5-day immersion in London, where participants will engage with global finance leaders and explore international best practices.
Nikhil Barshikar, Founder & CEO, Imarticus Learning said, “The role of a CFO is undergoing a shift because of the global economic uncertainties and emergence of new-age technologies. Today’s financial leaders need to embrace strategic thinking to navigate the complex business and regulatory landscape. The CFO (India) Programme combines London Business School’s world-class leadership in business education with our deep expertise in India-centric financial leadership. This outcome-driven learning experience equips participants with the latest tools, technologies, and market insights, empowering them to navigate evolving financial landscapes with confidence. The collaboration with London Business School is a significant milestone in our journey to accelerate the transition of mid/senior-level finance professionals to C-suite leadership positions.”
