After a resounding success in its first edition last year, the Advertising Council of India (ACI) has announced its second edition of New Age Leadership Program for young professionals. ACI is part of Asian Federation of Advertising Associations, an institution that addresses the interests of marketing communications across Asia. ACI is conducting this program on behalf of AFAA in India.
Says AFAA Chairman Srinivasan Swamy, "this is an immersive, experiential and transformative program where 25 young professionals below the age of 35 are taken to companies in Mumbai and Pune and surrounding areas over three nights/four days schedule under the watchful eye of the experienced Proctor Manish Advani and exposed to different kinds of industries and different industry leaders. The resultant brainstorming takes the young professionals to a different level of competence and leadership skills altogether. In addition to Indian participants, the second edition would have some international young professionals too to add to the peer group learning. Incidentally the entire program will be conducted free of charge to all the 25 participants, as our way of showing what an industry Association can do, to create fine future leaders in our country.”

Short-listed professionals would be interviewed virtually and the final 25 participants would join the program in the morning of July 18th in Mumbai.
