Testimonials
"This leadership course has supported me through a challenging period of my life, helping me strengthen my critical thinking skills, boosting my self-confidence and improving my abilities to negotiate. This course seemingly may skim over a rich mine of information and possibilities in an area that is ours to explore at a deeper level even after the course is complete. The professors help us see life, work and more in a different light than we are used to giving us a better scope of who we are and who we can be. The TimesPro team is very supportive and helped a very digitally challenged me navigate smoothly through the course. The course has inspired me to update myself in areas I never thought necessary, and prepped me to start my own business in the near future after my many years in the public sector. I would strongly encourage other women who feel plateaued in their jobs to take the weekends to do this course, which is worth it's steep pricing."

"I found the course to be an incredibly valuable experience. It offered a well-balanced mix of theory, practical tools, and real-world case studies that made the learning both engaging and applicable. One of the key strengths of the course was its focus on self-awareness and emotional intelligence as the foundation of effective leadership. Through reflective exercises and peer feedback, I gained deeper insight into my leadership style, strengths, and areas for improvement. The modules on communication, conflict resolution, and team dynamics were particularly impactful. The instructor was knowledgeable and brought a wealth of experience to the sessions, which added depth to the discussions. I also appreciated the interactive elements group projects, role-plays, and discussions that helped build a strong learning community."

"This course has been a much-needed refresher to reconnect with foundational concepts while bringing me up to speed with evolving leadership paradigms. The immersive case studies and thought-provoking discussions have truly been mind-openers. It was even more impactful due to the unique experience of learning in an all-women cohort. The camaraderie and support among peers created an environment of growth and mutual empowerment. I must especially mention Prof. Biswatosh Saha, whose sessions were nothing short of enlightening. His approach to critical reasoning and strategic thinking has had a profound effect on the way I now analyse business scenarios. His classes made me question, unlearn, and relearn and I will carry those lessons with me. Prof. Nimruji's sessions, too, were deeply insightful both intellectually stimulating and inspiring. For women aspiring to grow into more empowered, strategic leaders, this course is an invaluable investment in your development."

"I am glad to be a part of this TLPWE. It has given me an unmissable experience and learning. Campus immersion has been an impactful experience to ally with powerful women in different forte. I expected the course to be useful only for corporates but many aspects like negotiations, strategic leadership etc., is useful for entrepreneurs as well."

"As an ambition-driven, working professional in the corporate world, I've always been aware of the unspoken barriers and mind-set challenges that often surround women in management, leadership, and society in general. But it wasn't until I joined the Transitioning into Leadership Programme for Women Executives (TLPWE) at IIM Calcutta that I truly found the space and the courage to voice these concerns and experiences. The programme didn't just equip me with tools for strategic thinking or operational and leadership frameworks; it gave me the confidence to acknowledge and own my journey. It is designed to provide you with a strong foundation, to challenge and untangle the knots we perceive as normal for women. The powerful discussions, peer learning, and deeply reflective sessions helped me confront limiting beliefs I hadn't even realised I was carrying. I've found a renewed sense of self-belief thanks to TLPWE and the community I've found here."

"An excellent program for women executives. It enabled me to become aware of my surroundings, take informed decisions, tackle conflicts diplomatically and open arenas to explore that would align with my current skills and my expected future growth. The HBS case studies, group activities and in campus meet helped us meet people from different backgrounds and also understand a 360-degree approach of any organisation. I would highly recommend it for entrepreneurs and budding women managers who would like to explore more. At the end you would definitely leave with an enriching experience."

"My name is Yashodhara and I currently work for HDFC Mutual Fund. I was looking for a strategic leadership program offered by the top 3 IIMs. When Times group approached me for enrolling in TLPWE-05 program, I was drawn by the uniqueness that it was specific to women. Besides learning from such erudite professors like Prof Nimruji, also got a deep insight into strategic leadership that would greatly help women executives in post colonian corporate world. The programme offers this differentiation in a deep yet subtle way that helps create women leaders of tomorrow."

"Debarati Bhattacharyya, CA, Working as Programme Manager in IT MNC handling programme delivery management for Oracle Application Projects. Triggering Point to join the program - At the time I had enrolled for the program I was experiencing some stagnation in my career. I had heard about this program from some of my friends and family who had got a good break after joining this. 3 things that truly made a difference - it changed the way I think, challenged the stereotypes which I was not even aware. It helped in questioning status quo and original thinking which is very essential for any leader. The professors are too good. The sessions are very interactive and interesting although delivered remotely. The campus immersion is something no one should miss. After having just completed the program, I have started implementing the learning, Last but not the least, the brand definitely stands out. I have seen the shift in the attitude and interactions at my workplace, the moment I branded myself with the certificate."
