🎓 Milestone Unlocked: Completed the inaugural Global Senior Leadership Program (CTO Specialisation) at IIM Visakhapatnam! A moment come true that #MyFather (late), my #LifePartner (weekend sacrifices) and I had #dreamt together ! After a transformative 14 month extensive long journey—featuring C-suite electives, a global immersion and a concluding campus immersion—I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect on this experience alongside an extraordinary peer cohort. Having spent much of my career leading technology and global delivery organizations, this program offered a timely opportunity to step back, challenge established assumptions, and view technology decisions through a broader business and strategic lens. Key Highlights & Takeaways: Strategic Focus: Deepened perspectives on technology strategy, AI-led transformation, and building engineering capabilities that drive tangible business value. Global Framework : Immersive case-based learning and executive electives enriched the learning of CTO specialization Harshavardhan Rao Strength: High-impact discussions with fellow senior leaders bringing diverse industry perspectives. A shout-out to Programme Directors Prof. Aalok Kumar and Prof. Amit Shankar, as well as the entire faculty and leadership team at IIM Visakhapatnam, for shaping such a high-caliber experience. Looking forward to embark this journey of Learning and Leadership of dreaming #newpossibilities #success #peace #TechLeadership #IIMVisakhapatnam #GlobalSeniorLeadershipProgram #PersistentSystems #PersistentLeadership #LifelongCohort
