The Voice of
India’s C-Suite
I have highly benefitted from thought provoking deliberations on a multitude of topics related to economic progress & sector specific challenges; relationship strengthening with leading Industry icons on forums and various learning sessions. Excellent team, great conceptualization, and efficient implementation of programs. I keep looking forward to what is next.
It has been a valuable experience being a part of the ILC platform. The strength of the platform is the broad experience and expertise that the platform members carry and the ability of the ILC staff to bring it all together along with strong external stakeholders with diverse backgrounds and expertise.
It’s given me the opportunity to connect with leaders from diverse industries—people I might not have interacted with otherwise. These interactions have been incredibly enriching, offering insights into how different sectors operate and approach challenges. Through these connections, I’ve not only gained knowledge across functions, but in many cases, found informal mentors who’ve shared their experiences and perspectives. Learning how they steer their companies and industries has been both inspiring and valuable to my own growth.
ILC is a great platform for industry leaders to come together and work towards a positive change in the corporate sector and economy of the country. Apart from this I find it a great platform for sharing knowledge, learning, and networking.
The events organized by the Indian Leadership Council offer incredible chances, such as today's, to meet Anil Kumble and gain knowledge from his perspective on wisdom to wickets. We now have several off-sites scheduled with other leaders. So, all this networking is giving us the chance to collaborate with other industry leaders. Generally speaking, since we are in the consulting business, we can work with a variety of clients and industries. However, in the Indian context, collaborating with Indian business leaders from various industries in India offers a very special viewpoint, which is made possible by the Indian Leadership Council.
I believe that the young people of today have a great deal of potential to develop into real leaders. However, they require direction. They need the right path, which professional leaders can demonstrate, and the Indian Leadership Council provides the ideal setting for them to network with aspiring leaders, learn from their real-time experiences, and provide them with a lifestyle that will help them become better, more effective, and more influential future leaders.
Being part of the ILC team has been such a rewarding journey. What makes it truly special is the way people from different sectors come together—not just to share knowledge, but to genuinely learn from each other. There’s something powerful about hearing how others approach challenges, how they think through problems, and how open everyone is to collaboration. No hierarchies—just peers coming together to find real, workable solutions. One of the things I’ve valued the most is the mentorship we've received from seasoned leaders across industries. Their guidance has shaped the way we think, work, and grow—both as professionals and as people.
I've been a member of ILC for about four years now, and it’s truly been a fabulous experience. What makes it so enriching is the opportunity to engage with a diverse group of CEOs from across sectors—manufacturing, banking, real estate, technology, and more. Every interaction feels like a learning moment. Listening to members talk about the cutting-edge projects, initiatives, and strategies they’re leading within their organisations has been incredibly insightful. It sparks ideas—makes you think about how their experiences can be adapted to your own work or how they might inform the advice you offer to your clients. What I value most is the window into each member’s journey—how they’re navigating change, driving innovation, and leading with purpose. It’s been both inspiring and practical, and I’d give my ILC membership a big thumbs-up.
I joined ILC as a member in 2022, with expectation on broadening my professional network, learning from my peers, SMEs from industry. I can say, ILC exceeded my expectations through various events of the year. I feel proud and happy to be associated with this energetic team.
Being a part of the India Leadership Council (ILC), has been an incredibly exciting experience. It’s provided a unique platform to connect with like-minded industry leaders—whether it’s through insightful conversations, exchanging ideas over a cup of coffee, or simply sharing a moment of camaraderie. What stands out to me is how these interactions go beyond networking—they foster a sense of collective thought leadership and purpose. I’m truly inspired by the shared passion and positivity around the force that India is becoming—confidently stepping into its well-deserved place under the sun. So I think ILC is a wonderful platform to bring like minded individuals together, and I'm extremely pleased to have been a part of it this year.
The India Leadership Council is an amalgamation of like-minded industry veterans working on a collective agenda of reimaging business, reimaging India and the world. As part of the Council, the zeal towards creating a sustainable growth narrative, has been valuable and enriching.
I will say that the entire partnership has been extremely beneficial and important. It has been a terrific opportunity to meet like-minded people and learn from them.
India Leadership Council plays a unique, distinctive and promising role in connecting leaders and building a strong community based on value-creation, based on the robust platform it provides to the change-makers and enablers for a holistic future.
What sets ILC apart is the cohort it brings together—a group of CEOs, MDs, and senior leaders who are all navigating similar challenges. It’s not easy to find that kind of peer group within your own organization or even outside of it on your own. I’m especially grateful to the Times Group for curating this community so thoughtfully and ensuring that the connections go beyond just formal events. The informal interactions, too, have led to meaningful collaboration and rich learning for all of us.
I'm thankful that ILC has gone to the trouble of getting leaders like Anil Kumble today because the insights I've gained from some of these sessions are so profound. What I believe I take away from this is that these leaders provide a very broad picture, and you, in your own modest manner, learn how to inspire your teammates and how important it is for young children to participate in the entire game. And what can you offer as a leader? I believe we often overlook this in corporate processes. It's a great reminder, in my opinion, to always meet people like this, to better understand your role and to put some of the techniques you know these guys used to make their businesses what they are today into practice. It also greatly aids us in putting those ideas into practice in our own little ways. So, thank you, ILC, for this.
Being part of ILC for over the years has been a deeply meaningful experience for me—not just as a founder, but as someone constantly learning and evolving. It’s given me access to a network of sharp, forward-thinking individuals who challenge assumptions and push boundaries. The conversations, the trust, and the collective wisdom here have influenced some of the most important decisions I've made at Yotta. ILC isn’t just a community—it’s been a catalyst for growth, both personally and professionally
ILC continues to be a truly engaging programme and community. The sessions, speakers and topics are put together diligently and offer great insights into various topics which impact us across industries, economically, socially, and politically. It’s an honour to be part of this platform.
The events curated by the ILC team are well thought out and executed. It’s a good platform to interact and engage with not just business leaders but also thought leaders and achievers from multiple fields, which I find quite enriching.
