Leadership Program
for the Experienced

Leadership Program for the Experienced (LEAD) is a general management program for candidates with 48-84 months of full-time pre-MBA work experience. During the first 6 months, participants undergo 2 cross-functional stints across multiple businesses. Each stint is 3 months long. Some participants may also be given the opportunity to undergo stints in many of the Group’s overseas locations. Upon successful completion of 2 stints, participants are placed into a full-time role in a function of their choice with one of the Group’s businesses.

Students pursuing a full-time MBA from select business schools with 48-84 months of pre-MBA work experience are eligible to apply for the LEAD program. We currently hire students from India’s top business schools such as:

IIM Ahmedabad
IIM Bangalore
IIM Calcutta

We also recruit students from other top business schools based on their exemplary performance in campus competitions/ wildcard rounds or scholastic excellence.

 

Every ABGLP LEAD participant undergoes 6 months of training, which consists of 2 stints of 3 months each across different functions and businesses. Some participants are also given the opportunity to undergo stints in many of the Group's overseas locations.
