New Delhi: The Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE) and the Capacity Building Commission (CBC), Government of India, have signed an agreement with the Indian School of Business (ISB) for the third batch of the DAKSH Leadership Programme, a flagship initiative aimed at strengthening leadership capacity in Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs).
The agreement has been signed by the Director General of SCOPE Atul Sobti, CBC's Joint Secretary Jagdish Gupta and Dean of Indian School of Business Professor Madan Pillutla, in the presence of CBC's Member Dr Alka Mittal; Former Chairman of CBC Adil Zainulbhai; and senior officials from CBC, SCOPE and ISB.
DAKSH—an acronym for Development of Aspiration, Knowledge, Succession and Harmony—is a first-of-its-kind leadership development programme jointly conceptualised by SCOPE and CBC. The initiative is designed to equip high-potential executives in PSEs, who are expected to assume Board-level positions, with advanced leadership skills, strategic acumen and a deeper understanding of emerging industry dynamics.
The third batch of the programme, with ISB as the Knowledge and Academic Partner, will focus on developing leadership capabilities across key areas including strategic decision-making, governance and risk management, stakeholder ecosystem management, digital transformation, and leading large organisations in a rapidly evolving business environment.
The signing of the agreement marks another important milestone for the DAKSH programme and reinforces the shared commitment of SCOPE and CBC to building a robust and future-ready leadership pipeline across India’s public sector enterprises.
