In its first-ever foray into the Indian education landscape, France-based Sorbonne Business School has partnered with XLRI and Emeritus to introduce the Global Healthcare Leadership for CXOs programme, a first-of-its-kind offering designed to empower healthcare leaders and senior executives in India.
This 8-month programme combines XLRI’s leadership expertise with Sorbonne’s global insights, equipping participants to navigate the evolving healthcare landscape and drive impactful change within their organisations.
The demand for Indian healthcare professionals is expected to double nationally and globally by 2030, driven by India's shortage of healthcare workers, with just 1.7 nurses per 1,000 people and a doctor-to-patient ratio of 1:1,500 as per the 2024 report by IBEF (India Brand Equity Foundation). These data underscore the critical need for skilled leadership in the healthcare sector to address workforce challenges and improve care delivery. By focusing on the intersection of healthcare policy and leadership, this programme will equip senior leaders to tackle the sector's most pressing challenges and create a more sustainable future for Indian healthcare.
Tailored for senior and emerging healthcare professionals, healthcare innovators, policy advisors, and entrepreneurs, the programme combines live online sessions from globally renowned Sorbonne Business School and XLRI faculty, interactive learning, as well as practical application. It includes two 9-day campus immersions at XLRI campus for deep learning and networking, along with two modules from Sorbonne Business School faculty focusing on crisis management, effective communication during crises, and enhancing organizational resilience. Participants will complete a capstone project to apply insights to real-world challenges and gain Executive Alumni Status at XLRI, providing access to ongoing learning and networking.
The curriculum covers key areas such as stakeholder management, corporate governance, and emerging healthcare innovations — including telemedicine, data analytics, and medical technology — preparing leaders to drive impactful change.
