As part of the programme, participants will get to explore strategy, ideation and adaptation in the technology and tech-associated disciplines. Senior technology professionals in the domains of IT services, product-based companies, BFSI, telecommunication, consumer products, engineering/design and consulting companies are among the some of the sectors that can benefit from this programme.
