NEW DELHI: According to recent reports by McKinsey, only 20–30% of companies using AI report significant impact on EBIT. The gap is not in tech adoption, but in leadership capability.

Offered by IIT Delhi’s Continuing Education Programme (CEP) and backed by the institute’s standing as the #2 Engineering School in India (NIRF 2025), the Technology Leadership and Innovation with AIprogramme reflects a growing and criticalindustry demand for leaders who can connect AI capabilities with real business outcomes.Delivered in a 100% live online format, along with a two-day campus immersion, the programme is designed for accessibility without compromising depth. It goes beyond theory, focusing on practical areas such as applying AI for business using no-code tools, aligning digital transformation with strategy, and leading organisations through technologicalchange.

What differentiates the programme is its clear bias toward application.Leaders are not expected to become coders, but they are expected to make high-stakes decisions about AI. With exposure to no-code AI tools, practitioner-led sessions from industry experts, and a faculty-guided capstone project, participants engage directly with real business challenges. The inclusion of a campus immersion at IIT Delhi further adds a layer of peer learning and strategic collaboration that mirrors real-world leadership environments.

As Prof. Arpan Kumar Kar of IIT Delhi notes, “The conversation around AI has moved beyond adoption to leadership. Organisations need individuals who can translate technological potential into business value, and that requires a different kind of capability building.”

His perspective underscores a broader shift across industries, where sectors like IT, banking, manufacturing, and consulting are actively seeking leaders who can bridge the gap between technology and strategy.

How does the Technology Leadership and Innovation with AI programmeembrace this shift?By ensuring that it caters toa diverse community of emerging tech leaders, business managers, and consultants who are looking to drive AI-led transformation, strengthen strategic decision-making, and capture new markets.

The implications are significant. As AI becomes embedded across functions, leadership itself is being redefined. The advantage will not lie with those who understand technology in isolation, but with those who can operationalise it at scale. In that context, programmes likeIIT Delhi’s Technology and AI Leadershipreflect a new direction in executive education, one that is applied, interdisciplinary, and built for a modern business landscape where AI-fluent leadership isn’t justan added advantage, it’s a necessity.
