Driving strategic account excellence: Multi-phased leadership programme for Wipro launched
In an era where client expectations are rapidly evolving and competitive intensity is at an all-time high, organizations must empower frontline leaders to drive both growth and differentiation. Addressing this imperative, Wipro has partnered with IIM Bangalore to co-create a 10-day, multi-phased executive programme designed for its senior-most account leaders, which was launched on 22nd April 2026 at IIMB.
This strategically aligned initiative brings together a curated cohort of Account Delivery Heads, Client Delivery Heads and Programme Directors – leaders entrusted with managing Wipro’s most critical global accounts. Under the academic leadership of Dr. G. Shainesh, Chairperson, Digital Learning and Initiatives on Consumer Insights, and faculty of the Marketing area of IIMB, the programme blends cutting-edge insights with practical application across themes such as customer-centric growth, financial decision-making, AI-led strategy and leading change.
The inaugural address by Sanjeev Jain underscored the organization’s commitment to investing in leadership capability as a strategic lever for business impact. Delivered in a hybrid format, the programme integrates research-backed frameworks with immersive discussions, enabling leaders to translate learning into immediate account-level outcomes.
By combining IIM Bangalore’s academic rigor with Wipro’s business context, this partnership aims to strengthen strategic account management capabilities – building leaders who can navigate complexity, deepen client relationships and drive sustained competitive advantage.
