The hallmark of enduring leadership is the ability to
evolve. At a certain stage in a professional journey, execution alone is no
longer enough. The demands shift – from delivering outcomes to defining them,
from managing teams to shaping enterprises. The IIT Bombay – Washington
University in St. Louis (IIT Bombay – WashU) Executive MBA was designed for
this very inflection point: where experience meets reinvention, and leaders
prepare to expand their influence across industries and geographies.
A Curriculum for Modern Leadership
The IIT Bombay – WashU EMBA curriculum reflects
the realities of leadership in a world defined by complexity and disruption.
Over 18 months, participants are guided through a carefully sequenced program
that balances academic depth with immediate workplace relevance.
- Core
Foundations: Strategic management,
organizational behavior, supply chain excellence, and finance sharpen the
fundamentals of decision-making. - Contemporary
Skills: Digital transformation, data
analytics, and sustainability prepare leaders for new-age challenges and
opportunities. - Leadership
Growth: Modules on innovation, global
strategy, and change management help participants step into roles where
vision and influence matter as much as execution.
The program’s modular design ensures that insights
don’t remain theoretical. Participants are encouraged to apply classroom
learning to live business challenges, creating a constant exchange between the
academic and professional spheres. In this way, the program mirrors the
leadership journey itself – moving from operational mastery to enterprise-level
perspective.
Faculty with Global Perspective
The IIT Bombay – WashU EMBA brings together a truly
global faculty: professors from Washington University’s Olin Business School
travel to Mumbai to teach the same modules they deliver in the U.S. and China,
while experts from IIT Bombay’s Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management add
depth with their research and knowledge of India’s dynamic markets. This unique
blend ensures participants learn from educators who straddle continents and
contexts, gaining insights that are both globally informed and locally
relevant.
Few programs in the world can claim this balance:
global faculty teaching across continents, and local experts grounding that
knowledge in regional realities. The result is an academic environment where
leaders are prepared not only to respond to global change, but to anticipate
and shape it.
Building Leaders, Not Just Managers
- Perspective
Shift: The program is designed to go beyond
adding skills, challenging participants to expand their worldview and
sharpen judgment. - Transformational
Learning: Executives are encouraged to step
outside comfort zones, test assumptions, and embrace new approaches to
leadership. - Peer
Network: A diverse cohort of senior
professionals from multiple industries and geographies creates a powerful
environment for shared learning. - Enduring
Impact: Alumni consistently note how the EMBA
broadened their horizons, preparing them to lead with vision and
confidence in times of change.
How to Lead with Global Perspective
To lead globally, you need more than reach – you need
perspective. The IIT Bombay – WashU EMBA delivers it through world-class
faculty and a curriculum built for leaders who want to shape what comes next.
It’s where experience meets reinvention, and leadership evolves into influence
that transcends borders.
