Hyderabad, October 9, 2026: ISB Online, the digital arm of the Indian School of Business (ISB), has announced the opening of admissions for the 32nd cohort of its flagship Leadership with AI Programme, aimed at senior professionals and business leaders seeking to drive AI-enabled business transformation.
The 20-week programme is designed to help participants integrate AI into business strategy, manage organisational change, establish governance, and ensure responsible AI adoption. The initiative comes as organisations increasingly shift focus from AI adoption to translating technology into measurable business value, with leadership identified as the key differentiator.
Programme structure and curriculum
The Leadership with AI Programme covers a range of topics including AI strategy and business transformation, Generative AI and Agentic AI applications, leadership in the age of AI, AI governance, ethics and regulation, and building AI-enabled organisations and workforces. The curriculum is delivered through over 140 self-paced video lectures by ISB faculty, more than 20 business case studies, 40 assignments, group discussions, and a capstone project addressing real organisational challenges.
Participants also have access to 18 live office hours with programme leaders and live masterclasses on topics such as Generative AI, Agentic AI, multimodal intelligence, and enterprise AI frameworks including Claude, LangChain, CrewAI, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok 3, and DeepSeek.
Focus on leadership and practical application
The programme emphasises preparing leaders, rather than AI specialists, to translate AI investments into measurable business outcomes. The curriculum integrates academic rigour with practical business applications, including research-backed frameworks for enterprise-wide AI adoption and governance.
According to ISB Online, the course is built around real-world business application, with a focus on helping leaders align AI with business strategy and manage organisational change. Participants will receive ISB Online Alumni Status, granting access to exclusive learning opportunities, networking events, and a community of senior professionals.
Alumni network and ISB rankings
Now entering its 32nd cohort, the programme has seen over 9,500 leaders from 31 previous batches, representing diverse industries and geographies. ISB is ranked #1 in India and #12 globally in the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings 2026.
Learner feedback highlights the programme’s ability to connect theory to real-world application through case studies, AI-driven frameworks, capstone projects, and live sessions, as well as its emphasis on responsible AI practices and actionable roadmaps for innovation and organisational impact.
