Summary

India's booming nonprofit sector has the potential to make significant inroads into the region's challenges—from ensuring access to clean water, sanitation, and nutritious food to improving health care and education. But nonprofit organizations will succeed only if their leaders can develop a focused mission and strategy, a solid operational model, strong governance, and effective leadership. In this program, you will prepare to build a high-performance organization that can fulfill its mission, expand its scope, and achieve its potential for improving lives.

Developed in conjunction with the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative, this program is offered in association with the Centre for Social Impact and Philanthropy (CSIP) at Ashoka University in India.
