The Leadership with AI programme is a 20-week online course designed for CXOs, business leaders, and functional heads who want to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI in real business scenarios. Offered by the Indian School of Business (ISB) in collaboration with Emeritus, this AI leadership course covers modules on AI strategy, GenAI tools, AI-powered leadership models, business transformation, Agentic AI applications and data-driven decision-making. Participants receive a globally recognised ISB Online certificate and access to exclusive ISB Online Alumni benefits.

The programme equips leaders to integrate AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI into business strategy, culture, and workforce management. You will learn to align AI with organisational goals, learn AI-powered leadership models, lead AI-enabled transformations, and foster innovation while balancing ethics and governance. By the end, participants will be able to create AI roadmaps, lead digital-first organisations, and leverage AI for sustainable business growth and competitive advantage.

The ISB AI for executives programme goes beyond theory and gives leaders a structured approach to Generative AI (GenAI). The in-depth curriculum includes modules on business strategy in the age of GenAI, working with LLMs like GPT, prompt engineering techniques, and ethical considerations. Leaders learn how GenAI can transform decision-making, customer engagement, and productivity across industries. Through case studies, live masterclasses, and exposure to tools, leaders discover how to apply GenAI for innovation, communication, and business growth.

Agentic AI is a major focus of this ISB Online Leadership with AI programme. Leaders explore LLM-powered agents that can reason, plan, and act autonomously using frameworks such as AutoGen, LangChain, and CrewAI. The programme shows how multi-agent systems are already transforming finance, operations, and decision pipelines, and how multimodal AI (e.g., Gemini, GPT-4V) is reshaping workflows, assistants, and digital interactions. With dedicated learning resources, tool overviews, and live masterclasses, leaders gain the confidence to use Agentic AI as a strategic leadership lever for driving efficiency and competitive advantage.

Yes, the flexible payment option allows a participant to pay the programme fee in instalments. This option is made available on the payment page and should be selected before submitting the payment.

1. If a participant faces severe challenges in dedicating time to study the programme or has personal medical issues, a participant may request to defer the enrolment to another cohort of the same programme.

2. The participant must request to change to a future batch within 30 days after the programme commencement.

3. A participant may request a one-time deferral to the next available cohort of the same program. Such deferral is contingent upon and subject to:

   • Programme and batch availability at the discretion of the Institute and Emeritus

   • Approval of a valid deferral request with the supported document.

   • Payment of all pending programme fees as per the original programme scheduled date or Payment of the applicable non-refundable deferral fee as set forth under point (v).

4. The participant must write the deferral request to support.india@emeritus.org, specifying the reason for deferral with supporting documents.

5. The deferral request with reasons and supporting documents shall be passed on to the Institute, who reserve the absolute right to approve or deny such requests, at its discretion.

6. Participants may be offered a deferment under the condition that they pay the full fees as per the original payment plan. Once the payment is completed, the deferment will be processed. However, if a participant wishes to defer the payment plan as well, they will be required to pay the fee, collectively referred to as the "non-refundable deferral fee" of Rs 10,000 + taxes for certificate courses and Rs 20,000 + taxes for senior executive programmes, along with the programme fee differential amount between the two cohorts.

7. For the payment plan deferment option, the participant will have 5 (five) business days to pay the deferral fee from the date of deferral approval by the Institute, after which the deferral approval will expire, and the participant will continue in the current cohort. For clarity, until the full payment is received, the participant will remain in the current cohort.

8. Upon payment of the non-refundable deferral fee mentioned under point (v), Emeritus will process the deferral request, and the participant's access to the current cohort will be disabled. Accordingly, the participant must start the programme in the new cohort from the beginning.

9. The deferral request can only be considered when the current cohort the participant is enrolled in is ongoing. A deferral request shall not be entertained if the currently assigned cohort is completed or after the programme end date.

10. It is the participant's decision to defer the programme to another cohort. It is important to note that

    if the programme is discontinued after deferment for any reason, the programme fee will not be refunded to the participant
