Delivered through four 2-hour experiential workshops for batches of 40–50 students, sessions combine interactive discussions, group activities, case studies, role-plays, and reflections. Participants actively practice leadership skills, explore real-life scenarios, and gain practical insights that can be directly applied in their roles at IIT Bombay.
