NEW DELHI, Aug 13 (The CONNECT) – Aiming to help women become stronger leaders, better at managing teams, thinking strategically, and developing an entrepreneurial mindset, BML Munjal University has launched the eighth edition of its Women in Leadership (WIL) program, welcoming 25 promising female professionals.

Recent industry reports suggest that companies with higher female representation in leadership roles often demonstrate improved profitability and social responsibility.

Aligning with this recognition, the University designed the programme to drive transformative change and shape a future where gender equity and leadership excellence are the norm.

Swati Munjal, president of BML Munjal University, emphasized the institution’s focus on women’s empowerment and said “the programme is a testament to our pledge to foster women’s leadership for an innovative Viksit Bharat”.

The WIL program fosters both personal and professional growth for women, equipping them with skills to navigate complex work situations and overcome career challenges. Through innovative training programs and unwavering support, the university aims to drive transformative change, shaping a future where gender equity and leadership excellence are the norm.

We aim to ensure that women not only excel in their careers but also inspire others to do the same,” Munjal said.

The programme teaches more than just conventional leadership, said Pooja Salwan, university’s Deputy Director for Executive Education. The nine-month journey, tailored for mid-level managers with 7-14 years of experience and commenced on July 26th will help women become stronger leaders, better at managing teams, thinking strategically, and developing an entrepreneurial mindset. These skills, along with technical knowledge, help create leaders who can bring new ideas to their industries, she said.

The programme employs diverse learning methods, including simulations, case studies, and coaching sessions, to ensure a well-rounded learning experience. The launch of this eighth cohort of WIL underscores BMU’s ongoing commitment to addressing gender disparities in leadership, thereby contributing to a more inclusive corporate landscape in India.
