Why this matters now

India's leaders are navigating
unprecedented turbulence

AI disruption. Workforce transitions. Generational shifts. The leaders who survive this era won't be those who manage change — they'll be those who build teams that thrive in it.

01

Understand why people disengage — and what to do about it

Most change initiatives fail not because of poor strategy, but because leaders misdiagnose why people resist. Ethan's 30-year research reveals the real psychology of resistance and how to dissolve it.

02

A new framework for disruption — built for the Indian context

Drawing on global research and lived experience across Fortune 500s and government bodies, we translate proven change frameworks into the cultural and organisational realities of India's corporations.

03

Walk away with a concrete change leadership strategy

Not theory. Not case studies from another era. A structured approach — focussed on engagement, two-way communication, trust, and resilience — that you can apply in your organisation immediately.

04

Peer learning with India's top HR leaders

Join CHROs, L&D Heads, and business leaders from India's leading corporations for a facilitated conversation about the disruptions you are actually facing — not the ones in textbooks.

05

Direct access to Ethan Sanders — live Q&A

A nationally recognised US speaker, ATD faculty member for 25+ years, and professor at the University of Maryland — this is rare direct access. Ask him anything in our live Q&A segment.

06

A complimentary leadership diagnostic — yours to keep

Every registered attendee receives our complimentary 'Disruption Readiness' diagnostic — a framework to assess your organisation's current resilience posture and identify your highest-leverage interventions.

The India leadership imperative

Why this conversation
cannot wait

The data is unambiguous. India's corporate leadership pipeline is under unprecedented pressure — and the organisations that invest in disruption-ready leadership now will define the next decade.

65%

of India's workforce is under 35 — creating a surge in demand for manager-readiness and coaching-based leadership styles

₹ 2.5B+

India's corporate L&D market, growing at 14–16% CAGR — yet most CHROs say existing programmes are not delivering business impact

#1

Leadership through disruption is the single highest-investment L&D priority for Indian CHROs in 2025–26, per SHRM India

70%

of large-scale change initiatives in Indian enterprises fail to sustain their intended impact beyond 12 months — primarily due to engagement failure
