A wonderful program with great insights into ESG and related issues. The painstaking efforts by IICA in conducting this program results in a world class learning environment.

The SBE IICA course on ESG is by far the best course on offer on this subject in India. The diversity and depth of coverage of topics, the interaction with the leading practitioners in relevant domains, and the support and guidance provided by the Institute are simply unmatched.
