IIM Indore Launches Certificate Programme in Digital Transformation and AI for Leaders — Batch 11 Now Open for Enrolment

Mumbai, India, 2026-04-27 — /EPR Network/ — India’s digital economy is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. The World Economic Forum estimates that digital transformation will generate net benefits of US$100 trillion across industries, and organisations that fail to build AI-ready leadership pipelines risk irreversible competitive disadvantage. Recognising this urgency, IIM Indore — one of India’s premier IIMs — in association with Emeritus, has opened enrolments for Batch 11 of its flagship digital transformation course: the Certificate Programme in Digital Transformation and AI for Leaders. Designed for working professionals, this 22-week fully online programme equips managers and senior leaders with the AI tools, strategic frameworks, and implementation capabilities to drive transformation at scale.

A Digital Transformation Course Structured for Immediate Organisational Impact

What distinguishes this digital transformation course from conventional technology programmes is its deliberate, pillar-based architecture — built not for awareness, but for application. The curriculum is organised across five transformation pillars: Foundation, Domain Transformations (AI in Action), Strategy and AI Value Design, Launch and Growth, and Leadership. Each pillar progressively builds on the last, moving participants from AI essentials and digital disruption fundamentals through to responsible AI, ethics, and change leadership in AI-enabled organisations. The programme covers over 170 pre-recorded video lectures, HBR and McKinsey case studies, capstone projects, and live doubt-solving sessions — combining asynchronous depth with synchronous engagement. Participants invest approximately five to six hours per week across the 22-week journey.

Programme fee is INR 1,15,000 + GST, with the current batch already underway and the next intake accepting applications.

Digital Transformation and AI for Leaders — From Strategy to Execution

The digital transformation and AI for leaders curriculum is structured to close the most consequential skill gap facing Indian organisations today: the ability to translate AI and digital strategy into financial value. Participants work through applied modules covering AI in Marketing and Customer Engagement, AI in Operations and Supply Chain, AI in Finance and Risk, AI in HR and Talent, and AI in Customer Experience — ensuring every business function is addressed. Weeks 8 through 11 focus exclusively on strategic foresight, business model innovation in the AI economy, data-to-decision frameworks, and building an AI transformation roadmap — culminating in a practical capstone that quantifies the financial value of a digital strategy implementation, complete with associated risks and rewards.

The programme also covers the Forrester Digital Maturity Model, Design Thinking, and the Lean Startup methodology, giving participants a rigorous multi-framework toolkit for managing digital change across complex organisations.
