The curriculum adopts a forward-looking, cross-functional approach, covering areas such as Corporate Finance and Valuation, AI Strategy in the Digital World, Corporate Governance and Strategic Leadership, Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation, and enterprise-level decision-making. Delivered by XLRI’s distinguished faculty, the programme blends academic rigour with real-world applicability, enabling participants to strengthen their ability to drive transformation and long-term growth.

On successful completion, participants will be awarded the Executive Diploma in Advanced Business Strategies for CXOs and will become eligible for XLRI Alumni status, subject to fulfilling academic requirements. 

Post Graduate Certificate in CSR Leadership (PGCCSRL)

Alongside the CXO programme, XLRI also invites applications for the Post Graduate Certificate in CSR Leadership (PGCCSRL), a specialised programme aimed at developing professionals capable of designing, leading and governing impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability initiatives.

The PGCCSRL programme responds to the growing importance of responsible business, ESG integration and social impact governance in today’s corporate and institutional landscape.
