Grooming current and future leadership is top priority for the ‘new India’ which is characterized by start-ups, first generation enterprises, family run businesses, digital revolution, disruptive business practices, global headwinds and growth of new institutions.
The Strategy Academy, set up in 2008, is a knowledge-based Professional Service Organization. The Academy was born out of a conviction. A conviction, that individuals and organizations can create and control their futures and destinies, irrespective of what they are up against, provided they are dissatisfied and impatient with what they are doing currently and possess a clear point of view and ambition to do something big and different in whatever space they choose to be in. The Academy is conceived and created by Prof Ranjan Das.
